Abstract

At the beginning of 1882, Francisco Camacho, the finance minister or Sagasta's new liberal government, prompted a profound tax reform. It could not free itself from the defects of the tax system in force throughout the second half of the nineteenth century in Spain: it lacked neutrality and transparency, set against a backdrop of marked political intervention. It resulted in an income level failure and prolonged the duration of a tax system that damaged competitiveness and hindered Spanish economic development.
