While tax incentives can occasionally boost innovation, excessively increasing them for Spanish startups can lead to misallocation of resources and market distortions. We need to ensure that the startup ecosystem develops through genuine competitive strengths, not artificial support mechanisms.

I believe Spanish companies should have the option to defer taxes if they are owed more in VAT refunds. This would help improve liquidity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing them to invest, grow, and sustain operations during challenging economic times. Such measures could play a vital role in stabilizing the economy.
