The fall in indirect taxes, mainly VAT, which yields more than 10% so far this year, is threatening the fulfillment of the deficit target at 5.3% of GDP. Therefore, the Government is considering all alternatives to squeeze the tax machinery and fill the public coffers. "In Spain we have a wide field to set environmental taxes," claimed a few days ago Secretary of State for Budget, Marta Fernandez Curras, when asked about a rise in indirect taxes. At the same time admitted that the Government is considering implementing the green penny, a tax on oil.
This rate environment, which in reality would be a surcharge of between three and five cents per liter of fuel, originally planned to finance the deficit rate of renewable energy.

"Gasoline is cheaper in Spain than in the rest of Europe. We always look at those taxes that are lower in other European partners, "said Ramses Perez Bogue, vice president of the Organization of Tax Inspectors (IHE), the majority of the industry association.

The idea of Mariano Rajoy Executive to raise green taxes in line with the recommendations of the European Commission (EC) has proposed to Spain.

In addition, the Spanish did other concessions such as direct bank recapitalization to prevent aid to compute entities as public debt.
The 2012-2015 stability program launched in Brussels includes an increase in collection of indirect taxes of 8,000 million euros. This amount is included in the VAT reform plans to the Ministry of Finance-study pass taxed at the reduced rate products (8%) at the standard rate of 18% -. But the VAT hike alone will not reach that amount.
"What we, as Government, will rely more on indirect taxation, environmental, and rest less income from taxation, public sector employment, which is what the EC reiterates its recommendation. Do not look only on VAT. There are other possibilities are also cited in the recommendations of the EC, "said Montoro few weeks ago in Congress.

"Environmental taxes worked well in the Nordic countries because taxpayers believed they were helping to restore the environment," said Perez Boga (IHE), who points out that CO2 emissions could be taxed or certain chemicals that are polluting. The Brussels report shows a decrease in revenues in recent years due to rising fuel prices and the decline in activity. Brussels bets on such taxes and Spain will follow your instructions.
