Inocencio González, general secretary of CCOO in the Canary Islands, has spoken out about the announcement of tax reform.

Inocencio González, general secretary of CCOO in the Canary Islands, has stated that it is necessary to see "the concrete action" of the new Canarian Government before issuing an opinion, but, he added, the union is concerned about the announcement of the reduction of several taxes.

In a press conference in which the top leader of CCOO in Spain, Unai Sordo, also participated, the leader of the union in the islands pointed out that it is necessary to "let the members of the autonomous Executive formed by CC, PP, ASG and AHI work" because the appointment of middle managers is still pending.

CCOO will be "very attentive" to the work of the Executive and will wait some time before issuing an opinion, but, Inocencio González specified, the program broken down by President Fernando Clavijo in his investiture speech is "very generic."

And specifically, the union is concerned about the announcement of the reduction of IGIC rates from 7 to 5 percent in 2024 and the already approved bonus for the Inheritance and Donation Tax "without taking into account what you inherit or what you donate," González explained.

However, he also pointed out that the trade union organization is "closer" to the measure referring to mitigating the cost of fuel on the so-called green islands.
