- Almost million contributors will get rid of this transferred tribute the Independent Communities - the State will have to negotiate an alternative that compensates the loss of collection - In the EU to only they maintain France and Sweden it, that they apply measures already to reduce it MADRID progressively. - The tax on the patrimony is counted. His announced suppression, that has been arriving in the form of electoral promise, now of the PSOE and for months of the PP, it will end “an obsolete” tribute, according to the fiscal experts and consulted economists. A million people will almost stop paying an amount that nourishes to the Independent Communities with about 1,400 annual million. In the EU they only maintain the tax on France patrimony and Sweden and both apply measures already to reduce it progressively. In Spain, this tribute is transferred the Independent Communities, reason why the State will have to negotiate an alternative that compensates the loss of collection. These are some keys that explain the function of this tribute and the consequences of their suppression. It is necessary to suppress it? Yes, according to all the consulted experts. One is “an European relic”, affirms to professor of the Institute of Victor Company Torre of Whistles. The Tax on the Patrimony settled down, in principle temporarily, in 1977, with the aim of obtaining fiscal data, more than with intentions recaudatorias. “The control eagerness is lost its sense, since three decades later exist other instruments”, it points Gerald Grouse, analyst and financial adviser. In addition, some regions as Madrid or La Rioja already has announced their intention to eliminate it. How it is possible to be compensated to the Independent Communities by the loss of income? The independent communities nourish themselves now of 33% of the PERSONAL INCOME TAX, 35% of the IVA, 35% of the special taxes and the amount of the tributes by patrimonial successions, patrimony and transmissions. “To compensate them it would be enough with granting a participation major of the PERSONAL INCOME TAX. In the basket of taxes of a community, a 20% come to be from the PERSONAL INCOME TAX and the contribution of the one of patrimony goes up to around the 1.2%, so it does not suppose a great loss of collection”, comments Luis of Amo, director of the Registry of Economistas Asesores Fiscales (REAF). “Half is collected that by successions or donations and compared with the amount that is obtained by documented legal transactions is one eighth part”, it adds. Who must pay this tax? In 2005 957,503 contributors declared by this tribute - annual and complementary to the PERSONAL INCOME TAX, of whom 941,101 had to pay by him, according to data of Efe. The potential number of people who would have to pay it is much greater, due to its degree of breach, according to Tower of Whistles. “Them inspection, in charge of the autonomic Administrations, is very relative, reason why much people do not declare it, among them some foreigners who live in Spain”, he indicates east expert of the Institute of Company. “It is possible to be said that this tax mainly affects families of middle-class, although its impact on the majority of the familiar economies enough is reduced, mainly if the PERSONAL INCOME TAX or the IVA is compared with taxes like”, indicates the professor of Financial and Tributary Right of the University of Navarre Antonio Vázquez of the King. They are subject to declare it the contributors whose determined tax basis with the norms of the tax is superior to 108,182, 18 Euros, or when the value of the goods and rights exceeds 601,012, 1 Euros. Is equitable the Tax of Patrimony? According to the experts, no. For example, if two people have the same rent and each, a floor, the one acquired that it two decades ago will pay this tax on the basis of which it cost to him then and the one bought that it now would pay based on its present value. Exists a problem of double imposition? In some cases. This tax burdens until 2.5% of the value of the house, but the contributor also would have to pay by this good the Tax of Immovable Bienes (IBI), explains the director of analysis of the Institute of Economic Studies (IEE), Left Gregorio. It is a promise to take speed in the electoral race? Yes. The experts think that with the proposals of reform of the PERSONAL INCOME TAX of Rajoy (minimum of 16,000 Euros for its declaration) and the elimination of the tax on patrimony of Zapatero has occurred the pistol shot from exit to the race of the fiscal promises. According to Tower of the reduction of taxes Whistles, is magnificent, because the worse thing for the economy would be to lift the public cost. (The extracted News of the World)
