However, workers ultimately lost between 2.8% and 4% of their net purchasing power.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These findings challenge a widely held assumption: that if salaries increase at the same pace as inflation, purchasing power is maintained. As the PIMEC Observatory demonstrates, this assumption does not reflect reality.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The main reason is that the parameters of Spain&#8217;s Personal Income Tax (IRPF), including tax brackets, tax-free allowances, deductions and tax reliefs, have not been updated. As a result, an increasing share of each salary increase never reaches employees.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For this reason, we fully support PIMEC&#8217;s proposal to introduce a regular and transparent review mechanism for these tax parameters, ensuring that salary increases granted by employers retain their real value for workers.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with our Managing Director, S\u00edlvia Gabarr\u00f3, on 3CatThis week, our Managing Director, S\u00edlvia Gabarr\u00f3, had the opportunity to appear on 3Cat Info in her role as Chair of PIMEC&#8217;s Economy and Taxation Committee to discuss an issue that we believe is becoming increasingly important: the loss of employees&#8217; purchasing power despite rising wages.&#8221;Increasing wages [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21588,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21570"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21714,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21570\/revisions\/21714"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmtaxconsultancy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
