The spokesperson for Junts in Congress, Miriam Nogueras, has made her party's support for the anti-crisis decree, which will be put to a vote on Thursday, conditional this Tuesday on the Government incorporating among its measures that self-employed individuals with an annual turnover of less than 80,000 euros be exempt from paying VAT.

According to what he has detailed, Junts' position is that the Executive take advantage of the decree to apply this tax exemption to self-employed workers with lower incomes, so that their tax burden is relieved in the current economic context.

“We know, because they have told us, on Thursday they simply must make public what they have already told us in private, which is that they want to transpose this directive and, therefore, effectively, that the self-employed, especially small self-employed workers, those newly created, those who provide personal services, have a little more breathing room at this moment,” he said in an interview on TV3.

Nogueras has stressed that it is a European Union directive and has remarked that Spain is “the only country in the European Union that is not applying this European law and that is why they have been taken to court”.

With this decision, the Government will manage to save the first package of measures in response to the Iran war thanks to the "yes" of the majority of its partners, of Junts and the abstention of Podemos. With these counts, the decision adopted by the PP, which has not yet expressed the direction of its vote, is now indifferent. 

The formation of Alberto Núñez Feijóo until now had defended that the Government withdraw the Royal Decree-Law and present another after a negotiation process. From Congress, Ester Múñoz has regretted that the current wording does not include the deflation of the Personal Income Tax.
