The Tax Minister of Finance exposes the strategic lines of the budgets of his department, marked by four new tax cuts that will benefit above all the medium and low incomes.
The Tax Agency approaches the taxpayer with a mobile application that facilitates the procedures and offers tax settlement drafts managed by the Autonomous Community
One of the strategic projects will be the Digital Agency, which will promote inclusive and humanitarian digitization of society, as well as the creation of the ‘Emotional TecLab’
The structural regulation of teleworking
The structural regulation of teleworking, which will be ready at the beginning of next year, will allow public employees to carry out their work telematically up to three days a week.
The fiscal restraint measures “implemented by the government of President López Miras” will generate savings of one million euros per day over the next year.
The head of the Treasury exposed other tax reductions included in the 2022 accounts that will have an effect on the income of the year 2022 that is settled in 2023, such as the new section of the IRPF reduction, two new deductions in the IRPF for working mothers and to encourage rent or a discount in the Wealth Tax for those who decide to invest in strategic projects for the Region go to https://www.taxfortress.com/.
The rent deduction will allow young people, large families, and people with disabilities to apply a deduction of 10 percent up to 300 euros.
Working mothers, for their part, will be able to apply a deduction for children under 18 years of age, which will be 300 euros for the first child, 350 for the second, and 400 for the third, the same amount that working women can apply with a dependent person.
This measure, aimed at women with low and medium incomes (with less than 20,000 euros in an individual declaration and less than 40,000 in a joint declaration), could benefit nearly 23,800 working mothers.
The budget falls due to the elimination of the Covid fund
By 2022, the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Digital Administration will have a budget of 276.17 million euros, which is 15.8 percent less than last year, mainly due to the elimination of the Covid fund and the reduction of the European React-EU funds. Of that amount, 208.8 correspond to the five general directorates of this department, while the Tax Agency of the Region of Murcia will have a budget of 26.7 million and the Institute of Credit and Finance (Icref) will reach 41, 2 million euros.
“With these resources, we will continue working on the four strategic axes that define this ministry, such as building a more modern, agile, and efficient public administration; the digital transformation of the Region; the optimization and efficiency of public spending and, of course, the consolidation of the Region of Murcia as an area of economic freedom that drives economic growth and job creation, which are undoubtedly the best social policies”, explained the Minister.
2 percent increase in remuneration and regulation of teleworking
Another novelty in terms of improving the public service to citizens has to do with the Tax Agency, which for the first time will make available to taxpayers a draft declaration of Property Transfer Taxes and Documented Legal Acts and Donations.
Along the same lines, this body will launch a new mobile application to facilitate the completion of the most common procedures through technology accessible to the majority of the population and that incorporates a new communication channel with taxpayers.
In the process of digital transformation, the creation of the Digital Agency stands out, as well as the culmination of the ‘Smart Region’ project; the improvement of the electronic administration platform through the introduction of virtual intelligence and virtual assistants; the development of a mobile application to bring the Administration even closer to citizens and companies or the reinforcement of cybersecurity services thanks to the application of the most modern ‘anti-hacking’ techniques.
The maximization of public spending will continue with the expansion of centralized contracting as a formula to generate significant savings and standardize the quality levels of contracted supplies, works, and services.
