Mallorca PP pledges zero VAT on meat and fish
Mallorca’s grocery bills: the People’s Party (PP) pledges zero VAT on meat, fish and tinned food as shoppers struggle to make ends meet. Sebastià Sagreras, the party’s Senate candidate for Mallorca, set out the plan on Friday in Palma, Mallorca, Spain. It is an election pledge, not a tax change already in force.
Sagreras says people are finding it harder to fill their shopping baskets. The PP also wants to cut Spain’s personal income tax, known as IRPF, for middle and lower earners. It would raise personal and family tax-free allowances and ensure people on the minimum wage pay no income tax. The party says pay rises intended to offset inflation should not leave workers with a higher tax bill.
For people aged 18 to 35, the PP proposes four years of income tax reductions, subject to the conditions in its election programme: 100% in the first year, then 75%, 50% and 25% in the following years.
