He emphasized the commitment of the regional government to family businesses, highlighting the 99% tax reduction in Inheritance Tax to ensure their continuity and roots in the region. This measure benefits direct heirs such as children, grandchildren, nephews, and great-nephews.
During a media briefing at the Assembly of the Association of Family Businesses of Asturias (AEFAS), Peláez also defended the progressive tax model of the Principado. «We advocate for a system where those who have more should contribute more,» he stated, pointing out that regional governments do not have jurisdiction over major business taxes like VAT or Corporate Tax, which are controlled by the central government.
Peláez reiterated that «fiscal differences among regions are seen in personal taxation, not in business taxation,» and emphasized that Asturias maintains a specific support framework for family businesses due to their stable connection to the economic and social fabric of the region.
