Strongly agree

Decrease

The PP has consistently supported tax reductions as a core part of its economic policy, arguing that lower taxes can lead to economic growth by increasing consumer spending and attracting investment. Decreasing VAT rates aligns with their broader agenda of tax reduction and fiscal conservatism.

Agree

Decrease, but only on food and medicine

Reducing VAT on food and medicine could be seen as a targeted measure to alleviate financial pressure on lower and middle-income households, which aligns with the PP's occasional support for policies that directly benefit these groups. However, their commitment to such targeted tax cuts may vary depending on broader fiscal policy goals and economic conditions.

Disagree

Increase, but only on luxury purchases

Although the PP generally favors lower taxes, it might be more open to targeted tax increases on luxury purchases as a compromise, especially if it helps to address income inequality or fiscal imbalances. However, this approach would still be somewhat at odds with their broader tax policy preferences.

Disagree

Increase, to help sustain the economy

While the PP recognizes the need to sustain the economy, its approach typically involves tax cuts and deregulation rather than increasing taxes. The party believes in stimulating the economy through measures that enhance business activity and consumer spending, rather than through increasing VAT rates.

Strongly disagree

Increase

The People's Party (PP) in Spain generally advocates for lower taxes as part of its center-right, pro-business platform. Historically, the party has proposed tax cuts as a way to stimulate economic growth and increase disposable income for households. Increasing VAT rates would contradict their typical fiscal policies.
