The Tax Agency of Catalonia (ATC), linked to the Department of Economy, has recovered 333 million euros that taxpayers had avoided paying to public coffers during 2025, 13% more than the previous year. The study by the Generalitat presented this Thursday only refers to taxes that it has ceded and that, therefore, the Catalan treasury is tasked with collecting.

The master plan for the Catalan government's own treasury, commissioned by Indra and released this Thursday, represents a clash with reality for both the PSC and ERC. Indeed, it can now be stated that the content of the agreement signed between the two parties to inaugurate Salvador Illa was unworkable in terms of deadlines, and that it was therefore impossible for the Catalan Tax Agency (ATC) to collect personal income tax for this year and next year in one year. The document makes it clear that next year, as well as in 2027, the ATC will only be able to offer "assistance" to citizens in filing their tax returns, but not the actual collection. And that it will not be until 2028 that "the tax application of certain functions within the scope of personal income tax" will begin. That is, the document doesn't even set a timeframe for when the ATC will be able to assume 100% of the management and collection of personal income tax, and simply establishes the steps to be taken in what it calls the "first phase of deployment," which will last three years.
