The city council believes that the whole family lorquina this rise will cost them around 30 million euros.
The effects of the VAT hike will end up paying the least able.
Is a punishment against the city.
A study funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology states that "the increase of VAT will hurt more the poor, elderly and pensioners" and "contract activity and employment and consumption will be regressive."
The EU says it is a wrong decision, because if now consumed recently, the VAT increase will be consumed less.
Economics Councilman City of Lorca, Antonio Ibarra, reported that tax increases approved by the National Government is going to cost each family lorquina around 1,000 euros per year.
Ibarra said "Zapatero has come to raise the VAT in the worst possible time, could not have done worse.
This is not the way to help citizens in this case families, but to give the lace.
The Socialist Party is leading us in the opposite direction out of the crisis.
This socialist tax increase is especially wrong when you consider that going to mean more than double the unemployment aid of 420 euros per month.
This is a state punishment that comes at the worst possible moment.
In overall terms, the Lorca family tax increases will cost them about 30 million euros each year, a figure that makes clear the marked character of this measure antisocial. "
The mayor of Finance has indicated that it is common sense that the PSOE wants to make us pay for the crisis to the public, this is deeply unfair and will only serve to increase the economic crisis.
The VAT increase will translate into rising unemployment, falling consumption and citizens have less and less money.
And this is because the Government has said the European Commission has warned that it is bad policy to increase the VAT at a time of economic crisis being experienced by our country.
Clothing, footwear, coffee, a drink ...
everything is more expensive
Ibarra said that "the increase in VAT will make all Lorca will cost more to buy some shoes, a pair of pants or a coffee, a product that could have an increase of 5 cents.
It is a punishment against the city and a new "stick" against consumption. "
Antonio Ibarra said that the VAT increase will cause a double disservice to the citizens and also to pay the increase in VAT on all goods and products will also have to pay higher prices for contracts that have paid the government.
Ibarra has reported that, besides the EU, a study by four professors of Economics and funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology warns that the rise in VAT will hurt more the poor, elderly and pensioners "and" contract activity and employment and consumption will be regressive. "
This means that VAT will end up paying the least able. "
