Fernando Rocha directs CCOO's labour school, part of the Comisiones Obreras trade union confederation. On 21 September 2026 he and colleagues from the universities of Granada and Valencia put forward a proposal: tie Spain's corporate tax rates to company headcount.
The proposal responds to Spain's social security contributions, which raised €109.913 billion between January and July 2026 from 22.345 million workers. The idea is to discourage firms from cutting jobs through automation by tying their tax bill to employment levels rather than profit alone.
The bundle does not record any government response to the proposal, so this page will expand once that is known.
