The Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díazannounced after the past Council of Ministers, The approval of the uprising minimum salary ascent (SMI). This rise, which will involve a amount of 1,184 euros per month in 14 payments or 1,381 in 12 payments (gross) assumes that, this year, charging the SMI is not free to pay at the IRPF (Income Tax of natural persons).
Unlike what has happened other years, the exempt limit will not also be raised, so workers with this minimum salary will have to present the income statement provided that they meet some requirements. This has generated the first discrepancies among the members of the Executive. On the one hand, during the appearance before the media, Alegría and Díaz expressed their opposite positions and in the afternoon add, PP and Podemos announced three Law propositions so that the SMI Remove to tax in rent.
Now is the turn of the Minister of Economy, Commerce and Business, Carlos body who during a work trip to Poland has remembered Yolanda Díaz that when the SMI rise 4.4% “the potential tax payment is incorporated” and that that already knew it since it appeared in the report of the committee of the committee of the committee of experts coordinated by the Ministry of Labor.
Recently, both wallets also had a confrontation due to the reduction of the working day at 37.5 hoursthe body department arriving to block the process.
The SMI will have to pay in the Treasury, but that “was already known”
The Minister of Economy, Commerce and Business has explained to journalists in Poland that “the proposal of the expert report, which says, is that We have to go to 60% of the average salary. But we always forget that it is the average net salary, that is, including the possible payment of taxes and that is why we are talking about 4.4%. ”
Thus, Yolanda Díaz “was fully aware of the results of this expert report directed by the Ministry of Labor and, therefore, she knew the data.” Even so, he wanted to review what the committee proposed. Two increases for the SMI, one of 3.4% and the other of 4.4% had been proposed. This second is the one that has finally come forward, with the Backup of the unions (CCOO and UGT) and the refusal of the employer (CEOE – Cepyme).
Regarding the decision of the Treasury that the SMI tribute in the rent, body has said that after “the increase in the minimum wage, which has been rapid” in recent years (61% since 2018), “it has reached A point where he was overcoming for some specific cases ”the minimum exempt in the personal income tax. Therefore “it was time to contribute to these people.”
“We talk about a minimum of workers who charge the SMI”
