Farmers accuse government of "having a laugh" over flood aid

The conditions, the union explains, establish that aid will only be for farmers with insured crops and which have damage to non-insurable elements, something which is "practically non-existent" in the Balearics, as the damage has essentially been to insurable crops. Moreover, the union says neither will there be tax benefits since exemptions to property tax can only be in cases where damaged crops are not covered by any type of public or private insurance. Given there isn't property tax on crops, this is "purely rhetoric".

With regard to special reductions to income tax and IVA (VAT) for exceptional agricultural situations, the union adds that the government is not committing to anything above the usual.
