Spain and 10 other Member States , among them Germany, France and Italy announced on Tuesday a political agreement " minimum " on the tax on financial transactions whose entry into force was postponed to 2016 due to the lack of consensus. The levy , called Tobin tax economist by the name ( James Tobin ) who proposed in the seventies to prevent speculation destabilize the financial system will be implemented in stages with a view to being able to assess their economic impact. The first objective will be the actions , both which are traded spot and derivatives market . However despite outlined in the Ecofin meeting in Greece, its implementation was postponed by one year to January 1, 2016 , which disrupts the plans of the Spanish Government in income for 2015.
" The first phase of the harmonized tax on financial transactions should apply no later than January 1, 2016 ," announced the Austrian Finance Minister Michael Spindelegger during the Ecofin held Tuesday in Brussels . However, the final design of the rate with " viable solutions " should be ready later this year , he added Spindelegger , who acted as spokesman for the group of countries that have gone ahead with the project and among them is no longer Slovenia.
Countries seeking to implement the so-called Tobin tax , has continued the Austrian minister, agreed to "start taxing the shares and certain derivatives ." The goal is that each step until the full implementation of the fee " is designed so that keep in mind that there are many economic impacts which must be very careful." Anyway, if anyone wants to tax products not included in the agreement to maintain existing national rates , shall be authorized to do so.
The rate are outside major markets such as commodities, currencies or sovereign debt. Brussels argued for applying a tax rate of 0.1 % to 0.01 % of the shares and derivatives , but these figures are not closed.
Government's arguments
Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said that the agreement is a " lowest common denominator" between the positions of the countries that opted for the system of enhanced cooperation to move forward with the project. He has also argued that the rate will be "prudent " and " cautious " . "We will analyze the impact of the rate in each of the steps we will take because we are fully aware of the possible consequences that this rate may have on capital flows ," he noted. "We want to create an instrument that is harmful to anyone , what we will do is have a rational rate to put order in financial markets," Guindos argued .
The government says in the stability program submitted to Brussels recently that the rate would contribute 640 million euros to the coffers públicasa from 2015. Nevertheless, the Minister explained that this game does not only refer to this charge but also includes other fees. The minister, however, said that the delay " absolutely nothing upsets " of the budgetary plans of the Executive . This item has explained , is a "mixed bag " that also includes other minor fees.
Guindos has eluded specify how much revenue expected Spain when the rate is at full capacity because it has not yet been precisely defined. " It is possible to achieve maximum revenue with minimum distortion generated ," he noted.
Reviews UK
The minimum policy statement has been very badly received by some of the Member States not participating in the enhanced cooperation, including the UK, Sweden , Denmark, Hungary, the Netherlands , Luxembourg and Malta. "Do not hesitate to use a rate that has an extraterritorial impact , harm UK or other Member States and harm the internal market " , has threatened the British finance minister , George Osborne , the most combative.
According Osborne has argued , "is not a tax on bankers but employment , investment and pensions and pensioners and therefore UK and most do not want to participate." "Our priority is to ensure that proposals have no extraterritorial impact rate in the UK and on the European economy ," he argued. The British minister , like other colleagues , has complained about the secrecy of the meetings of 11 and said that even the European Investment Bank has informed the Ecofin that the rate would cost 1,600 million euros.
Countries participating in the enhanced cooperation on tax on financial transactions are Spain , Germany, France , Italy , Portugal , Greece , Austria , Belgium , Estonia and Slovakia , and Slovenia has decided to step back .
Moreover, the Ecofin has also delayed to June approval of the reform of the parent-subsidiary directive which aims to curb fiscal engineering multinationals like Google , Starbucks or Amazon to avoid paying taxes. In this case, the reason for the postponement are reserves Sweden and Malta to the new rules .
