In this way, the bank tax declines after a session in which an attempt was made to save it at all costs, for which a alternative text that enjoyed the support of PSOE, Sumar and Juntsbut it has not finally been approved in a vote that had the abstention of ERC, EH Bildu and BNG. The organization has also given approval to a corporate tax reduction for SMEs and for those companies with a turnover of less than half a million euros. In addition, taxation of artistic activities has improved. These initiatives will be incorporated into the draft law on the minimum rate for multinationalswhich will have to go through the usual parliamentary bodies for approval. However, the measures that have been rejected will still have one last opportunity to pass the Commission's cutoff and be submitted to the final criteria of the legislators, since This Thursday a new plenary session will be held in which they can be debated and voted on once again. Among the measures rejected this Monday are also the tax increases for private insurance, SOCIMIs and luxury goods.
