Could you please elaborate on the tax situation in Spain? Is it considered a country with high taxes? I've noticed that according to the OECD, Spain's tax wedge for the average single worker rose from 39.6% in 2022 to 40.2% in 2023. How does this compare to other OECD member countries? Was Spain always ranked high in terms of tax wedge, or has this ranking changed over the years? It would be interesting to know if there are any specific taxes or policies that contribute to this relatively high tax wedge in Spain.
