Why could the Government raise the corporate tax on energy companies

Naeem12

The Government continues to prepare plans to face the inflation that affects energy companies. Apparently, they would be working through two routes, although right now the quickest option would be to raise the Corporate Tax via royal decree-law. About indecent earnings The approval of a new tax in relation to these companies would mean a delay in the parliamentary process and the impossibility of approving it in the budget law; taking into account the current escalation of prices in energy products , both in electricity and hydrocarbons, despite the anti-inflationary measures agreed on aid for gasoline and diesel. On the other hand, in relation to the clause approved in the EU regarding this Iberian exception and the cap on gas in the calculation of the price of electricity, the truth is that.

It is being proposed - and there seems to be a certain consensus in the Government - the need to tax in some way those extraordinary profits that are being produced for energy companies as a consequence of this situation. Oil companies: billionaire and "immoral" profits at the expense of the Russian invasion of Ukraine For this reason, both the OECD Active Phone Number List and the EU have already given their approval to levy this extraordinary tax on the profits that not only the electricity companies but also the oil companies are obtaining. At this moment the question If he is not able to reach the government in 2023, the alternatives are expanded, although he will always have the sum of VOX left if he needs it so that no one forgets it. France: no one should be happy Meanwhile, in France, a united left, there, has been able with the strength of that unity (warning to sailors) to take away Macron's absolute majority, widely doubling his results.



The bad news, on the contrary, has been the rapid entry, from 8 to 69, of a rising extreme right. We will see if Macron understands that it is time for collaborative cohabitation with his leader Melenchón. Finally, on the other side of the pond, in Colombia, a left united around Gustavo Petro has also been able to achieve a historic result that catapults him to the presidency. These different ways of behaving bring different consequences, negative in Andalusia due to their confrontation, positive in France and Colombia. Let's hope they learn from those experiences that 19-J has brought us We will see lies in defining what is the most suitable figure and what is the most suitable way to tax, trying to avoid problems and do it as quickly as possible.
