Consumer companies are asking for tax cuts in the face of inflation
El sector del consumo solicita al Ejecutivo que salga de las urnas el 29-N invertir en productividad para "mantener el modelo de bienestar" y atajar el absentismo. Leer
During the 41st Aecoc Congress in Seville, 1,340 executives from 480 companies gathered to discuss the upcoming general elections and their demands for the incoming government. Aecoc President Ignacio González presented a list of claims to the future administration, advocating for a reduction in taxes during a period of high tax revenue.
González emphasized the need to lower the VAT on food and energy supplies to improve citizens' daily lives, noting that inflation has been a persistent issue since 2021, with prices increasing by 29%. He warned that deflating the personal income tax (IRPF) while facing inflation is akin to silently raising taxes, as it hurts the middle class, which drives consumer spending.
González also called for VAT reductions or exemptions on basic food items and energy supplies, as well as potential government action to address the housing crisis and immigration issues.
