Spanish bank has made a “confiscatory” tax in Confetti for its party: 8.4 billion benefits

by

8,487 million euros. That is the joint benefit of the six great banks quoted in Spain during the first quarter of 2025. 27% more than a year ago, according to The economist. The most striking thing is that they have achieved it in full application of the extraordinary government of the Government, to which They called “Confiscator”, “disproportionate” and “harmful to the stability of the financial system.” That tax has ended up being a mere accounting score. A cost that can be moved, adjust, deduce. In summary: overcome. Why is it important. Because it shows a historical constant: when trying extraordinary to financial power, it reacts extraordinarily effectively. And because he talks about systemic inequality: a citizen cannot choose when and how to pay their taxes, but a bank does. And you can even earn more money along the way. In detail. Of the 1.4 billion euros that the bank tax was supposedly costing this year, only 351 million have impacted the first quarter accounts. Not because it has been repealed. But because this year is prorated. The regulations allow deductions of up to 25% of the tax base, a circumstance that financial entities have taken advantage of to optimize their results. Bankinterdirectly, will not pay anything this year or the one that comes. Thanks to the deductions of the Corporation Tax, its fiscal invoice has been zero. CaixaBankthat does pay, it is almost the one that wins the most: +46.2% benefit. He Santander It reduces its tax burden of 74%, and earns 3,402 million. And the BBVAin a context of downward types, its results improves 22.7%. Between bambalins. The strategy is double: accountant and narrative. Accounting, the tax is fractional and make up with deductions. Narratively, the sector projected a resistance image. But the reality is that the tax has not altered the fundamental: Has not stopped profitability (Rote up to 20%). It has not reduced dividends. The business trend has not changed: in Spain, banks grow 48%. The banks expressed concern about the impact, but the adaptation of their fiscal strategies has considerably damping the effect they had planned. The backdrop. In 2024, The tax was loadedand the bank raised his voice. But since then they have learned to manage it. The new design gives them air. A “fiscal air” that allows them to continue flying although in theory they carry ballast in the form of extra tax load. In addition, this fiscal relief more than compensates for the setback in the margin of interest, which falls 3.95% due to the decrease of types. But The gross margin rises 8.31%thanks especially to commissions … already the aforementioned tax adjustments. In perspective. While the general economy looks at the Iribor of side and keeps inflation, the banking sector demonstrates adaptation to the fiscal environment. They have not only avoided the coup, but continue to meet objectives before shareholders and investors. And incidentally, they leave a message to the markets: not even before a sudden tax its benefits are stopped.

The sugary drinks tax has been a resounding success. And there are those who want to extend it now to salt

by

At the beginning of the week, Chris Hilson, a professor at Reading University, brought together the press and presented The most ambitious report which had been done to analyze the United Kingdom sugar tax. His data were begged: since the tax was introduced, the sugar content in the drinks 44% has been reduced. However, Hilson doesn’t want to stay there. Why not use this approach to improve food, address the obesity epidemic and promote a healthy and sustainable diet? Why not launch, for example, a salt tax? The salt? Indeed. Salt has been in the spotlight of doctors, nutritionists and health researchers for many years. And rightly: Reducing salt intake is one of the simpler and more profitable ways to reduce the incidence of diseases such as arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease or strokes. The problem is that we don’t even know how much salt we consume. And we don’t know because it is very difficult to know: According to the surveys availableapproximately 70% of the salt consumed by Western populations comes from processed foods. The “approximately” is key. It is not easy to measure at the individual level and not even biometric analyzes (such as urine) are very precise when determining consumption. But we know that, if we discount the effect of other critical factors, add salt to meals on the table It is related With a reduction of more than two years life expectancy in men and about a year and a half for women. It is not, seen what is seen, something lower. But what can we do? There it enters Hilson’s idea: “It is vital to extend sugar tax to all processed foods. The current tax has reduced sugar in soft drinks, but we need to see the same success in products such as milkshakes, cookies, yogurts and cereals for breakfast to improve public health,” said. In the background, according to your team’s data, well -designed regulations in the food sector in general could translate into “a healthier environment, as well as a healthier population.” A tax that always ends up. It is curious because salt taxes have historically been one of the most unpopular taxes. From French gabela to the Indian nationalist movementsSalt has played a very important role in the formation of contemporary political societies. It is true that the current tax that is being considered in places like the United Kingdom It is very different to those who disappeared throughout the twentieth century. The importance and scarcity of this resource changed radically with our technical capacity. However, it is still curious that this compound is in the pillory. As epidemics like obesity grow, more and more experts They believe that states They should take action on the matter. Above all, in well -being systems such as Europeans. The evidence shows that These types of interventions are effective. However, we are still taking the first steps in this field.
