The Ministry of Labor and the Treasury have reached an agreement so that the minimum wage does not pay IRPF in 2025. The negotiating teams of both portfolios have sealed a record at the last minute that implies that these salaries will be exempt from paying during this year. Yolanda Díaz manages to change the plans of María Jesús Montero although in return gives in her intentions that the measure does not become structural and is limited to this year. The one that comes will have to negotiate again.
“The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Labor have reached an agreement so that the workers who charge the SMI do not tax in the IRPF in 2025. The agreement consists in introducing a deduction in the IRPF fee that would make the employees who charge the SMI or less do not tax the IRPF in 2025”, have transferred sources of work.
The negotiations have channeled this Friday after the second vice president of the Government accused María Jesús Montero of getting up from the negotiating table on Thursday night. Just a few minutes ago both ministries have sealed an agreement whose concretion will be known in the next few hours.
This Friday was the legal limit that the Government has to register in Congress the veto to the proposals of adding, pp and we can seek to knock the decision adopted in their day by the Treasury that this year, after the new revaluation, the minimum wage receptors were taxed. Being a measure that has an impact on public accounts, the Constitution grants to the Executive the power to block those proposals, although since Tuesday the idea was to reach an agreement within the coalition before the deadline expires and thus save a photo of complicated breakup of digesting for PSOE and add.
This is what the negotiating teams have achieved this Friday at the last moment, when there were just a few hours left for the limit of that veto to come, at six in the afternoon. The agreement has arrived after moments of tension in the negotiations, in which the second vice president of the government came to accuse María Jesús Montero of having risen from the table. The point of conflict in those last hours had revolved precisely around whether this measure affected only 2025 or became a structural measure.
Yolanda Díaz thus achieves an important victory within the government, after weeks of tension with the Treasury. The Ministry of Montero announced a month ago that for the first time the perceptors of the minimum wage would be tax. Until now, the government had been raising the minimum exempt in parallel to the increase in the SMI threshold, to prevent these people from being taxed. But hacienda this year decided to skip that tradition. And that caused a strong clash with work that has not been resolved until today.
For weeks, both ministers maintained their positions. Sumar registered a law in Congress to change the finance plans with a law that permanently exempts the perceptors of the minimum tax salary. The Treasury said that this law would veto, following the constitutional power that the Government has to stop legislative projects that modify budgetary items. And Díaz said he would raise that veto at the Congress table joining his votes to the PP.
That was the situation until Monday, when Yolanda Díaz sent a proposal to the Ministry of Finance. After the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, urged both parties to reach an agreement, both met on Tuesday after the Council of Ministers and there lay the foundations for an agreement that took several days to be completed.
After that meeting, one of the first clashes, now channeled, went through the way of achieving that exemption. Work has always defended – so it appears in the text that registered a month ago in Congress – an IRPF modification so that people who charge the SMI see directly reflected in the payroll the exemption. The Treasury opted for the compensation route: that workers pay the tax monthly, but then they can specifically deduce it in the income statement.
Although this option is not the ideal to add is an intermediate point that they were willing to accept, since the worker finally benefits from this exemption even if he does not do it automatically. The last point that the negotiations had felt had to do with the validity of the measure. The text that both ministries have signed agrees that the exemption affects only 2025 salaries, which leads the government to a new negotiation next year if the SMI is re -raised.
