The island corporations have voiced their apprehension regarding the potential reduction in Canarian General Indirect Tax (IGIC) collection, which could significantly impact their budgets. According to estimates from the Vice-Ministry of Finance, this shortfall could reach 0.6% by June 30 and 1.4% if the measures are extended throughout the year.

The concern is considerable, as 42% of the revenue from this tax corresponds to the cabildos. Representatives from La Gomera and Tenerife have requested sectoral meetings with the regional Executive to monitor the crisis and address potential kerosene supply issues, which are vital for the archipelago's economy.

Key measures in the decree include a 0% reduction in IGIC on fuels, zero-rate for basic foods like salt, butter, and coffee, an expanded exemption limit for self-employed individuals and SMEs, increased fuel tax refunds for transporters, and direct aid of 7.2 million for industry and the primary sector.

In addition to revenue concerns, the cabildos present at the meeting, including El Hierro and La Palma, have demanded flexibility in the spending rule. This measure would provide them with greater financial leeway, estimated at up to an additional 1650 million, to tackle a crisis that particularly affects the Canary Islands due to their remoteness, territorial fragmentation, and external dependence.

The vice-president of El Hierro described the decree as insufficient, calling for a more robust anti-crisis plan, while the representative from La Palma requested territorial sensitivity, considering the impact of double insularity and the ongoing reconstruction efforts after the Tajogaite volcano eruption.

In the parliamentary sphere, political groups have suggested reviewing the decree after June 30 and have insisted on its processing as a bill to incorporate additional "social shield" measures. However, this possibility is not currently being considered by the Government or its supporting groups.
