Next week, the Senate will debate a proposal by Geroa Bai to create a public and paid savings book that finances the affordable rental stock , in the style of a formula that exists in France, as reported by the Navarrese coalition.
The Upper House will vote in committee on the 11th and in plenary session on the 17th on the amendments presented by Geroa senator Bai Koldo MartÃnez to the state Housing Law, approved last week in the Plenary Session of the Congress of Deputies , which focus on the powers that the State does have exclusively attributed to it, such as the reduction of VAT on public promotions of social or affordable rentals.
Geroa Bai considers that it is difficult to build an Phone Lead affordable rental housing stock that responds to the existing demand only with the budgets of the Administrations , as he points out in his statement.
For this reason, he will propose to the rest of the Upper House the possibility of creating a financial instrument similar to the "Livret A" of France, which offers an interest set by the State , currently at 3%, tax-free, so that with With these resources, public agents and the third sector promote social rental housing.
MartÃnez maintains that the French formula " makes it possible to remunerate savings, something that Spanish banks do not do now, and to allocate resources to create new homes ." Furthermore, he assures that the French social and affordable rental stock amounts to 4,760,000 homes and more than 13 million citizens live in those homes.
"It is evident that with the 375,000 public housing units that currently exist throughout the State, we would need decades to get closer to France if we only rely on the budgets of the administrations," points out Senator Bai from Geroa.
Geroa Bai's amendments also include some tax proposals, such as applying a reduced VAT of 4%, instead of 21%, to public housing developers . Another initiative that he proposes is a reduced VAT of 5% for those developments with almost zero energy consumption and for those that are built with industrialized processes.
"VAT is the only tax in which the State has exclusive jurisdiction when it comes to regulating it and, however, in the debate on the State Housing Law, no one has put it on the table," laments Senator Bai from Geroa.
