Companies Repsol SA FollowMADRID, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The Spanish government is planning to raise around 6 billion euros ($6.39 billion) from its windfall tax on energy companies and banks, Budget Minister Maria Jesus Montero said on Tuesday. Spain approved a temporary levy on large energy firms and lenders that originally intended to raise 7 billion euros by 2024 to fund measures to ease cost of living pressures, but following amendments in parliament the amount was lowered. "The expected revenue is 1.7 billion from the energy tax and 1.3 billion from the bank tax (in 2023), 3 billion euros per year in total," Montero said. The Senate gave the final approval to a windfall tax on banks, although it largely left out smaller local lenders and foreign banks' units in Spain. Montero said that energy companies so far had paid 817 million euros in taxes, while banks had paid 637 million euros.

Around one in every 1,000 taxpayers in Spain will have to pay a new wealth tax. The government announced the tax on Thursday, which it expects will bring in up to 1.5 billion euros. María Jesús Montero, the country's minister of finance and public administration, announced the so-called "solidarity tax" on Thursday. People will be taxed at a rate of 1.7% on assets between 3 and 5 million euros, 2.1% on assets between 5 and 10 million euros, and 3.5% on assets of more than 10 million euros (around $9.76 million). The government is also raising taxes on companies with at least 200 million euros in annual income and expects to bring in an additional 200 million euros by increasing taxes on capital gains above 200,000 euros.

☆ Spania înăsprește legile de violenţa sexuală. Orice relaţie non-consensuală, considerată viol
▼ + stars: | 2021-07-07 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +4 min

Guvernul spaniol a aprobat marţi o lege, parte a revizuirii legislative privind violențele sexuale, prin care defineşte orice act sexual non-consensual drept viol. Acel moment a provocat indignarea cetățenilor şi a dus la nenumărate cereri pentru reformarea legilor privind agresiunile sexuale, transmite Observatornews. Conform legislaţiei actuale, se consideră viol doar agresiunea sexuală unde este folosită şi violenţa fizică sau intimidarea. Deciziile au fost fost luate pentru a descuraja infracţiunile organizate de grupuri similare celor din trecut care au şocat întreaga populaţie a ţării. Luni seară, mai multe proteste au izbucnit în Spania după uciderea unui bărbat gay care a fost bătut până la moarte într-un atac homofob petrecut în weekend în nordul oraşului Coruna.
