Abstract

This article provides an overview of how a Basic Income could be financed in the Kingdom of Spain. First of all, it offers a review of the different models known for this purpose. Emphasis is placed on the type of information which allows these models to be supported, and special focus is placed on the advantages and disadvantages which can be generated by the use of this information. The main analyses arising from the application of these financing models are described. A reform of personal income tax, the central axis of the financing of the Basic Income proposal, is justified, together with a proposal for the implementation of a wealth tax, which would complement this financing. Finally, through a concrete assumption, the effects on inequality and redistribution of income, poverty and groups of winners and losers are analysed by comparing the situation without the Basic Income model (exante) and with the Basic Income model (ex-post).
