The fulfillment of one of the main promises of the investiture agreement between the PSC and Esquerra Republicana (ERC) will have to wait. The Department of Economy of the Generalitat has sent a note on Thursday, in which it postponed until 2028 the assumption by the Tax Agency of Catalonia (ATC) of IRPF management -the pact that allowed Salvador Illa president He put this milestone “at the length of 2026 ″- and puts the objective that in the next two years the presence of the ATC is increased in two rental campaigns.
The Republican leader, Oriol Junqueras, had been ensuring weeks, they came to fruition. And that seems to be the case with the Atc Master Plan. It is a commitment that ERC started the Government during the negotiation of credit supplements and had to be presented before July 31 of this year. The Department of Economy has sent a press release explaining the plan and, indeed, the main novelty is the change of timing in the development of the Catalan farm.
The plan, which has made the consultant Minsait, of Indra, sets four stages. In the first, of preparatory nature, the needs in human and material resources, and physical and technological infrastructure, such as tax offices and information and data systems will be determined. In parallel to this, the agency’s own technological platform will have to be developed.
The idea is still that ATC manages all taxes supported in Catalonia in the future and. The document puts in 2028 as the date for the tax application of certain functions within the scope of that tax. Before that, for the next campaign, the ATC will gain presence in the Income Campaign and, for the 2027, the idea is to assume it alone, for example, with previous appointments.
To fulfill this, the plan says, “it would be necessary to incorporate, in 2026, more than 400 reinforcement agents.” To make a comparison, in the 2024 campaign the ATC has incorporated 102. Already, in the face of assuming all the assistance, in 2027, more than 700 agents will have to be contracted temporarily. The forecast to reach 360,000 taxpayers. In addition, the Catalan digital signature certificates could be used and the image of the ATC in stationery and information would be used.
However, economy remembers that, intimately linked to the new singular financing model, where there are still disagreements even within the same PSOE. The Organic Law 8/1980, of September 22, on Financing of the Autonomous Communities; Law 22/2009, of December 18, which regulates the financing system of the Autonomous Communities of Common Regime; and Law 16/2010, of July 16, of the State Tax Transfer Regime.
