MORE NEWS: The Universal Basic Income in Catalonia would have a cost equivalent to 3.5% of GDP

The Universal Basic Income (RBU) in Catalonia would have a net cost of 7,700 million euros per year, equivalent to 3.5% of GDP, according to the study 'RBU: Analysis of a disruptive innovation proposal', commissioned by the Generalitat within the framework of the Pacte Nacional per a la Indústria.

The report of the economists Oriol Amat and Xavier Ferràs for the Observatori de la Indústria was presented this Friday in an act that has closed the Councilor for Enterprise and Knowledge of the Generalitat, Àngels Chacón.

The net cost figure -extracted from several previous studies- has been calculated based on a basic income proposal of 664 euros net monthly for all adults, amounting to 7,968 euros per year, and 133 for minors, which equals to 1,594 euros per year for retail.

The report draws a gross cost of 52,899 million per year for the RBU that would be reduced to 7,700 with the elimination of benefits -family, housing, scholarships, pensions and unemployment, among others-, the suppression of personal and family minimum income tax, and the sum of the amount that would pay more than IRPF the part of the population that will have a zero or positive impact with the RBU.

According to the study, this net cost of 7.7 billion could be financed with an increase in personal income tax, which would have a single nominal rate of 49.57% and in which the personal minimums, the compensation between yields, the reductions in basis and all deductions from the fee.

At the same time, the study shows that it could be financed by other fiscal measures, such as the fight against fraud and the underground economy, changes in Corporate Tax or other taxes.

Income policies

Amat, who has presented the study, believes it is necessary to allocate more resources to income policies in order to move towards a universal basic income, and to do so with caution and through structural reforms, since in the short term it is not possible to pay.

The report also recommends improving the income policy and extending the income to more preceptors, because the Guaranteed Citizenship Income (RGC) does not reach a significant part of the population living in poverty.

Currently Catalonia has the RGC, which only people with determined income and age receive, while the RBU would receive all citizens unconditionally and independently of their personal conditions.

The study also shows that, if Catalonia did not have "too high a fiscal deficit", there would be sufficient resources to finance an income policy of a much broader scope than the current one.

The Councilor Chacón, who has closed the event, has defended the value of the National Pact for the Indústria because it arises from a great consensus, and has held studies like the one presented this Friday.

«They help us to guide our criteria to design and apply public policies. It is clear that we are facing a process of transformation of productive models, and this has a social impact, "he reasoned.
