The President of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, announced on Monday that Wealth Tax will be scrapped in Andalucia from the 21st of September. This will apply to both Spanish nationals and to those who have a secondary residence there. The region follows Madrid as the second region to subsidize this tax.
This is being done in an attempt to attract high-level tax payers to the area and to encourage them to remain in Andalucia permanently in order to bring an increased level of investment into the area. This follows 20 of the top wealth tax payers leaving the region in 2022, taking with them 18 million euros worth of tax.
This is predicted to attract 7000 new residents to the area, the economic benefits of which will exceed by far the 0.6% of regional income provided by wealth tax in previous years.
The region is also set to reduce personal income tax by 4.3% and abolish the water tax.

Plans have been released by Brussels to introduce a travel tax on post-Brexit UK travellers. British people will no longer be able to travel freely to Europe without paying a “travel tax” and being forced to fill out a form under plans unveiled by Brussels. The US-style visa waiver scheme is one of the first concrete signs UK citizens will not be permitted the privileges they once had, to move across European borders unhindered.
