Ending the inheritance tax is not favoring the rich, it doesn't matter when you read this. It is not when in a legislature 20,000 Valencians refused to accept an inheritance. You are not rich just because you inherit the apartment where your parents lived, even if they tell you that you are. Even so, that has been the argument with which the opposition to Carlos Mazón has wanted in this last month to undermine the image of the president of the Generalitat. It had no basis or foundation, but it is what it is. The doubt that arises is what will be the communication strategy and message that we will soon hear from the opposition, after announcing last Thursday the Generalitat Valenciana a tax reduction aimed at medium and low incomes both in the regional section of personal income tax and in the income tax. transmissions for the purchase of homes, who knows.
With less and less ammunition, the idea that PSPV and Compromís are now trying to convey is how Carlos Mazón will appear before the next Sánchez government to demand the much-needed improvement in regional financing with the calling card of a recent tax reduction. released. Another strategic error of the opposition, confronting regional financing with tax aid in the same sentence. The income of an autonomous community is based on more than 80% of the transfers it receives from the State, and only 20% of the resources generated by the region itself. For its part, taxes are the effort that in this case, the Valencian government asks of its citizens to help maintain and provide public services.
It is not a better government, nor a more responsible one, that cuts you through taxes, but rather the one that is capable of giving you the same services, demanding the least possible effort from the taxpayer. Questioning the moral authority of demanding fair financing for the Valencian Community by eliminating the inheritance tax or reducing property transfers is wrong, but above all, it is sad. It doesn't matter when you read it.
