Bizkaia wants to use taxation as a tool to strengthen its economy, maintain its talent and facilitate access to housing. The Provincial Council has presented a preliminary draft Foral Standard containing new deductions and tax incentives for companies, workers and vulnerable groups, with the aim of ensuring that the measures enter into force before the end of the year.
The proposal ,presented by the General Member, Elixabete Etxanobe , and the Member of the Exchequer, Itxaso Berrojalbiz, is not a comprehensive tax reform, but a strategic update aimed at meeting the specific challenges of the territory, including generational relay in companies, increasing competition for the recruitment of qualified professionals, the need to strengthen business roots and difficulties in access to housing.
Decision centers
One of the main axes is to ensure that companies do not move their decision-making centres or activity outside Bizkaia by proposing a 30% reduction in the added value derived from certain business transmissions, provided that continuity of activity and maintenance of employment are guaranteed.
In addition, greater involvement of workers in companies will be encouraged by establishing tax advantages for those who receive shares or shares in the company, which may amount to up to EUR 12 000 per year.
Attracting or retaining talent is another pillar of the initiative. The Member of the European Parliament proposes to increase incentives for professionals moving to Bizkaia, raising the exemption on the performance of their professional activity to 50% and up to 60% for children under 36. In addition, new geographical mobility deductions of up to EUR 3 000 per year will be created for young professionals.
Deductions for housing
In the area of housing, the aim is to allocate private savings to social rental projects. The rule provides for a 15% deduction for those who invest in a fund aimed at promoting social housing with a ceiling of 750 euros per year.
The text also includes incentives for dual and continuing vocational training, as well as tax benefits linked to healthy habits; the measures envisaged include a 20% deduction on health insurance premiumswith a maximum base of 1,500 euros per insured person; and a 20% deduction on expenses for gymnasiums and sports activities with a maximum base of 1,000 euros.
One of the most socially noteworthy is that the compensation received by victims of sexual abuse during childhood and adolescence will be completely exempt, with no limit of amount, in cases that have occurred both within the Church and in other institutions, a measure that aims to strengthen the reparation and recognition of the persons affected by Bizkaia.
