Overview

• ERC registered a proposición de ley in Congress on Friday to let the Generalitat assume full management of personal income tax, proposing changes to LOFCA, the financing model law and Catalonia’s tax‑cession law.
• The text demands integrated management from the outset with application, review and sanctioning powers, while the central government only contemplates a progressive cession of tax administration.
• ERC frames the move within an ATC strengthening roadmap referencing an Indra study, envisioning phased IRPF tasks beginning around 2028–2029 if the legal changes advance.
• ERC conditions budget negotiations on concrete financing progress, as Gabriel Rufián calls on Junts and other investiture partners to support the initiative that requires an absolute majority for the LOFCA reform.
• A separate PSOE–Junts bill to delegate immigration powers to Catalonia looks set to fail next week with Podemos opposed and Vox asking the Congress Mesa to suspend the debate, while Junts has frozen but not broken its support after talks in Brussels.
