" A tax reform is when they promise to reduce taxes on things that are taxed in a while and to thereby create new taxes on things that were not taxed ." The quote attributed to Edgar Faure , intellectual and Minister of Finance of France in the middle of the last century , perfectly reflects what the proposal presented Friday by Manuel Lagares , Professor of Public Finance who led the expert committee that Government tasked to prepare a document with recommendations on tax reform.
Lagares said he hopes that if all measures are approved, "Citizens will pay less than today"
Experts proposed in the first phase leading to lower taxes (income tax, companies and assets ) that would be accompanied with a rise in VAT - reclassifying assets subject to the reduced rate of 10% to 21% overall - with more certain environmental taxes and an increase taxation of housing ( IBI). They also recommend deleting deductions , exemptions and subsidies in all taxes which in practice means a tax increase . However, Lagares said Friday it expects , if all the measures are approved, "Citizens will pay less than today." He added : "The proposal is not merely the return of the rise in income tax for 2011 , approved by Rajoy after arrival at Government -is something else. From the point of view of sales, means more . "
The effect of the downs and the ups will be neutral for the collection , says the text of the experts estimated at 10,000 million ( 1% of GDP ) the cost of sales to the public purse and the same amounts new revenue increases .
moreThe report calls for the top rate of income tax from 52% to pass 44 %VAT hike passing products of the reduced rate to the generalCorporate tax cut to 20 % less deductionsMore taxes on alcohol and snuff rolling , taxed like cigarettesA complete return to the 'green' taxes to be no loopholeA minimum tax for inheritance and giftThe report recommends deleting the Wealth Tax
The proposed Lagares is just that . A comprehensive report with a wide range of tax recommendations to the Executive to serve their own. But is not binding and the government has already said it will not undertake some of the measures contained in the text.
The report comes at a time when the Spanish economy is still struggling to contain the breath from the exertion of the crisis and public finances continue to water . The proposed experts should help reduce the deficit , repeated again and again Lagares . The task is not easy because in the next two years the accounts of the government have to reduce their hole at 30,000 million. That is why the reform is to combine discounts direct taxes ( income tax and companies ) that contribute to shake up the economy with increases in other taxes (VAT, environmental and housing) to raise .
The nine professors who participated in the report estimate that the VAT increase to 10,000 million (1% of GDP ) will finance a reduction in taxes on capital (equity and savings income ) of about 3,000 million direct taxes on households of 7,000 million. They conclude that the reform would have a positive effect on GDP up 0.3% in three years and employment up 0.2%. And therefore, added on fundraising , allowing a slight reduction of the public deficit .
The sages of Montoro opt for balance charging the tax system more indirect taxation to the detriment of direct which in principle could undermine the progressivity of the system. " The framework will be more progressive taxation ," he said Lagares . " If we remove escalation earn rebates and exemptions . If we get that you do not pay for the fight against fraud also won escalation ... "he said.
The Executive will take note of the opinion of experts but a timetable for implementation comfortable for your interests is fixed and will not apply the 125 recommendations made by the group Lagares . The Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria , and warned that the report not be law Lagares assured after the cabinet did not " share " that the residence is imputed as raise in income tax experts .
The report is not binding and the government has already said it will not undertake some of the measures contained in the text
Precisely the income tax is one of the changes that will suffer most . Lagares considers it desirable to lower the minimum income tax rate of 24.75 % today to 20 % and the top marginal rate from 52% to 45 %. Also proposes to reduce the tax sections of the current seven to four . The text includes more cuts in income tax - transfer the minimum family share the base - but postponed when the economic situation permits.
The report also proposes a tax increase two - point VAT devaluation to bring the general 23% in exchange for three or four points lower social security contributions . But postponed "when you finish developing the pension reform and the economy improves ," Lagares , who explained : "We have a great mass unemployment , shameful in this country . And something we do. It is a decision for the Spanish society not to take it but my thinking now . " The measure would mean a loss of revenue to the Social Security 10,000 million for the reduction of contributions to be offset by increased revenue from the same amount for the VAT hike . " It would have an effect on positivotanto GDP up 0.7% in cumulative three years as employment up 0.7% in the same period, and in the collection ."
