Andalusian government to scrap environmental taxes and halve primary‑sector fees

The new coalition government in Spain’s Andalusia, formed by the PP and Vox parties, has announced a fiscal programme centred on deep tax reductions. All regional environmental levies – including the plastic‑bag tax, emissions tax and fees on water‑bodied discharges – will be eliminated, removing about €110.5 million in revenue recorded for 2026.

Fees paid by agriculture, livestock, hunting and fishing enterprises are to be cut by 50%, with current collections barely reaching €2 million. The regional income‑tax bracket (IRPF) will be lowered by one point by the end of the legislature in 2030, applied gradually at 0.25 percentage points per year for earners under €60 000.

Family incentives include €500 per first child, €1 000 for a second, and €1 500 for subsequent children, with double deductions for disabilities. Large families will see a 50 % reduction in their tax burden throughout the legislative term. Early childhood education (ages 0‑3) will be provided free through concerted school arrangements.

Additional measures comprise public guarantees up to 20 % for mortgages (covering up to 95 % of appraised value), credit lines to assist families with property‑transfer taxes, and programmes supporting maternity, maternal health and early childhood care. The programme also promises investment safeguards to maintain usable agricultural land.
