The tile company Ascer distrusts the budget of the Government of Sánchez for the recovery

The ceramic employers condemn the state accounts for 2021 due to their great dependence on European funds and believes that “the collection estimates are too optimistic”

The ceramic employer Ascer has stated that the General State Budgets for 2021  «they do not guarantee the recovery of the Spanish economy» nor the boost to productivity and competitiveness that it needs, and has considered that “This is not the time to raise taxes.”

According to a statement from Ascer, the Spanish accounts for 2021 reflect  «a high dependence » on European funds Therefore, if the forecasts are not met, the  «inconsistency » of the Budgets  «is even greater ».

In a scenario  «marked by uncertainty  », the Budgets for 2021  «do not hold up, since They start from a macroeconomic situation with already outdated forecasts given the intensity of the second wave  »of Covid-19, indicates Ascer.

In addition, the tile association believes that collection estimates are  «too optimistic », given that the worsening of the pandemic is paralyzing activities and services, which results in less income via corporate tax, VAT and personal income tax.

According to him, the Increase in fiscal pressure  «will slow down the recovery of economic activity and therefore employment, and it will limit the competitiveness of companies »in a European environment where tax cuts and direct aid are widespread.

On the other hand, the employer of the main economic sector in the province of Castellón, Ascer, considers that the State budgets for this next 2021  «are very expansive », and understands that in the current context measures are required to mitigate the social impact Like the ERTE, but they must also be  «transitory measures that do not compromise the future » of recovery in subsequent years.

The tile sector insists on the need to improve competitiveness of Spain resuming the application of structural reforms to transform the Spanish production model and make it more sustainable, competitive and solid.
