The European Commission has made a proposal to Spain regarding its tax system. It suggests increasing the value-added tax, or IVA, to 21 percent for certain businesses. This proposal is part of the Commission's economic recommendations.

The goal is to increase revenue, potentially by up to 7 billion euros. Further details about the proposal and its potential impact are available from the source, including information about which specific industries would be affected, such as hotels and bars, and the Commission's concerns about the current use of reduced tax rates in Spain.
