The producer Andrés Pérez García, known as La Mano de Oro, was unable to pay the VAT for the last quarter and had to postpone it. He denounces that self-employed individuals must pay taxes on invoices that they have not yet collected.
According to ABC, Andrés Pérez García, known as La Mano de Oro, producer, DJ, and former manager of the artist Saiko, explained on his social media that he did not have enough to pay the VAT for the last quarter. He had to postpone the payment and describes it as a very frustrating situation.
In one of his latest TikTok videos, the producer shares that he spent the entire summer without a holiday working every day, and yet the money did not come in to cover the declaration.
"This quarter I did not have enough to pay the VAT. I had to postpone it and I find it very frustrating."
Pérez explains that the problem is not in the organization of his accounts, but in liquidity. According to him, when he pays the VAT, he is left without funds in his business account to continue reinvesting in his work.
"If I paid the VAT, I would be left without money to continue reinvesting in my activity."
Another point he highlights is that he has to pay taxes on invoices that he has not yet collected. He adds that there are expenses that cannot be deducted, such as some that do not include VAT, meaning that the tax is applied to what he earns, but not to what he spends.
The producer assures that he does not oppose paying taxes, but rather to not having the margin to grow his business. He claims that most of his current projects are deficit.
"What I want is to be able to grow my company to pay more taxes in the future."
Pérez also speaks about the mental strain and lack of days off for those who work for themselves. He reminds us that almost 16% of Social Security affiliates are self-employed, and they sustain a good part of the economic activity without a guarantee of income at the end of the month.
"The working class in this country is us."
