Consejo General de Economistas de España

The Consejo General de Economistas de España (Spanish General Council of Economists) is a professional organization representing economists in Spain. It serves as an advisory body and voice for economists on economic and fiscal matters. Recently, the organization has been newsworthy due to its concerns regarding the instability and frequent changes in Spanish fiscal policy. Miguel Ángel Vázquez Taín, the president of the Council, recently presented the Panorama of Regional Taxation, highlighting the 'legal uncertainty' created by constant changes in tax regulations. He argued that this 'improvisation' hinders proper planning, decision-making, and ultimately weakens trust in the tax system. The Council's pronouncements are relevant as they reflect the concerns of economic professionals regarding the impact of government policies on businesses and individuals, particularly in the context of increased scrutiny of payment methods like Bizum by the tax authorities.
