The PMcM reports the plans of payment to providers

The Multisectorial Platform against the Morosidad (PMcM) affirms that the plans of payment to providers set up by the Government, although they have been very useful to reduce the morosidad that affects to SMEs and autonomous, are not sufficient to improve the forms of payment of the manufacturers neither of the contractors. Like this it has ensured it his president, Antoni Cañete, that explains that “many subcontract (the providers of the providers) still today day continue waiting for earning by part of those that yes have received the money of the Administrations (manufacturers and contractors) through these plans of payment to providers”.

In this sense, Cañete regrets that “no all have seen benefited of some plans that are of all and all pay”. For the PMcM, the problem is that “it has not arbitrated any mechanism by which these companies, once that earned of the plan of payment to providers, had the obligation to pay to his time to the subcontractors, so that the money flowed until the last link of the productive chain and that like this the effectiveness of these measures had an effect of real and definite waterfall”. Like solution to this problem, the PMcM proposes to create in Spain a penalizing diet that fine to the companies that do not pay in terms to his providers, and to achieve it is looking for a big political consensus-business. Thus, it has urged to all the business organisations without exception to that add to his claim to create a penalizing diet.

In his opinion, “is indispensable that all the organisations that represent to the business fabric of our country engage with real facts to contribute to eradicate the morosidad once and for all”. In this sense, are already a lot of the supports that has achieved the proposal of the PMcM to create a penalizing diet, among others the ones of the multiple entities that are associated to the entity, and also the ones of the parliamentary groups already engaged during the II Summit of Morosidad organised by the PMcM to realizar between January and February of 2014 a proposal of law to initiate the parliamentary formality of the penalizing diet.

The aim of the penalizing diet resides, for Cañete, in “deterring those companies that, in spite of the Spanish and European legislations, follow delaying his payments; we want to create a similar system to the that exists in the retail trade, in which if it does not pay in legal terms one can be reported and sanctioned”. The companies that cotizan in the selective group of the Ibex 35 reduced in 2012 in 13% his half term of payment to providers regarding the previous year, but the half period reached the 178 days, more than the double of the maximum fixed by the law for this year (75 days). From the PMcM, “propose that they normalise the payments between companies with fines ejemplarizantes of until 900.000 euros, through a penalizing diet that apply of progressive way to ensure his total fulfillment of the most effective way”, explains Cañete. Besides, in front of the possible abuse in the VAT of box, the PMcM proposes that the Government invest the subject passive so that the provider (in his majority SMEs) remain exonerated of the anticipate of the tax and put of self-evident which customers (many are big companies) do not pay his bills to time.
