The Government is negotiating to increase the type of savings to income of more than 140,000 euros

Taxpayers will probably go from the current 23% to 27%, below what we asked in the Budget negotiations

  The negotiations continue. The Ministry of Finance and United We can tighten the rope to move forward the 2019 Budgets to just a few days - before next Monday - that the Executive must present in Brussels before the European Commission the general lines of its proposal. One of the points that, according to sources of Finance to this newspaper, is on the table is the rise of the savings rate for the highest incomes.

Specifically, it will be the taxpayers with profits from 140,000 euros who will pay more than the 23% now in force , which currently operates from 50,000. Probably the figure stays at 27% compared to 30% that United We Were asked for. In this way, the expectations of the formation led by Iglesias would be lowered, but also the program that the PSOE presented before accessing La Moncloa.

  One of the problems is that the agreement separates what are the capital gains from savings and income , against what the purple formation requested in the document sent to the Government on Tuesday, so that the scope of the measure could be very limited and the collection pretty reduced. It remains in the air at what point the Treasury will establish the rise on the taxation of the income, although it is clear that the discharges are fixed that 140,000 euros a year.

At present, the savings rates since the tax reform of 2015 are 19% for capital gains of up to 6,000 euros, 21% between 6,000 and 50,000 and 23% from 50,000 euros. The Government would open the door to a new section from 140,000 that will be taxed at 27%
