The PP is committed to lowering VAT to boost tourism (15/06/2010)

Councilman Neighborhood Relations area, Nicolás Ángel Bernal, stressed that tourism is a priority for the municipal government of Cartagena and calls the government's Office of correction, the increase in VAT, which will affect hotels, restaurants, bars and shops this summer.

I think of pure demagogy to claim the government socialists municipal tax breaks to support the tourism sector and then reject those measures as proposed in the Congress of Deputies, and instead, support the State Law Presuspuestos, up VAT rate of 7 to 8%, they will endure the hotel industry, catering and passenger transport, said the councilman.

With these statements, Nicolas Angel Bernal has answered criticism that the Socialists have made for aid to promote economic activity in the Calle Real.

The municipal government's decision to cut taxes to employers who decide to open bars, restaurants and shops on Royal Street, is a timely initiative that aims to revitalize the economy of the city in a newly renovated street.

Socialists should defend the lowering of VAT to boost the economy on tourism, one of the most productive sectors of the national economy that is experiencing the worst moment in its history, falling this year 2010 of 8.7%.

It is noteworthy that while European countries like Germany or France, lower taxes for the tourism sector to make it more competitive in Spain is just the opposite, upload it from July, when more tourists come.

This measure will have negative effects on the Spanish economy, as already seen in Switzerland, Ireland, Holland and Iceland, which increased the VAT on accommodation in recent years and everyone, without exception, have fallen again
