“We must thank the bravery of the new Minister of the Treasury, who made his debut in the Asturian parliament defending fiscal justice, closing the door to more tax gifts for the rich and denouncing fiscal populism. He is absolutely right,” José Manuel Zapico said yesterday , general secretary of CC OO of Asturias, who added that taxes “are the cement of equal opportunities” and “it is time for greater firmness in the Asturian Government against the privileges of the great fortunes and millionaires who want to impose their fiscal independence”. According to the general secretary of CC OO, “Asturias is not a fiscal hell” and what there is is “a campaign to demonize taxes.” “The right talks about “tax cuts” but what they defend are “tax blows,” added Zapico.

For his part, Gonzalo Centeno, deputy of Vox Asturias, pointed out that Guillermo Peláez “said a horrible nonsense to avoid that the Inheritance Tax taxes income twice, which of course it does. And that nonsense is to say that for the same income “It was recorded on the father when he generated it (correct) but now the son must be recorded when he perceives it (nonsense).” Centeno pointed out that “direct taxes tax income when it is received or generated, not the person” and “taxing the child now could be due to the capital gain or increase in the value of the assets in which it materializes, but that already does the municipal capital gains that the child also pays when he inherits”. The Vox deputy pointed out that “the constitution recognizes the right to inheritance and the PSOE takes refuge in the fact that there are few direct descendants who pay for the reduction in base, but a nephew who inherits from his uncle has to pay.”
