Overview
- Despite being slated for the largest nominal gain, the Junta de Andalucía says the model fails to fix its underfunding and would widen its distance from Catalonia.
- Finance Ministry figures indicate Andalucía would receive €4.85 billion more plus €965 million from a complementary fund under the proposal.
- The national plan would inject more than €20 billion into autonomous communities by lifting the ceded shares of IRPF to 55% and VAT to 56.5%.
- Andalusian leaders criticize the process as negotiated with ERC behind other regions' backs and decry a lack of transparency during an electoral period.
- Finance Minister María Jesús Montero has signaled limits on regional tax cuts and a push to recover levies such as Inheritance and Donations, a shift the Junta says could endanger seven Andalusian tax reductions worth about €1 billion a year.
