Points Clés

  • La taxe touristique en Catalogne va doubler suite à un nouvel accord politique.
  • L'augmentation complète sera mise en œuvre à Barcelone le 1er avril 2026.
  • Les autres municipalités verront une augmentation progressive, avec le taux final arrivant en avril 2027.
  • L'accord a été conclu entre les partis PSC, Esquerra Republicana et Comuns.
  • Les amendements conjoints à la législation ont été enregistrés le mardi 13 janvier 2026.
  • L'approbation parlementaire de la nouvelle loi est attendue d'ici la fin février 2026.

Résumé Rapide

Après des mois de négociations politiques, trois partis clés en Catalogne ont finalisé un accord pour augmenter considérablement la taxe touristique de la région. L'accord, conclu mardi, implique les partis PSC, Esquerra Republicana et Comuns.

Le cœur de l'accord est un doublement du taux de taxe actuel. Ce changement ne sera pas uniforme dans toute la région. Barcelone subira le poids de l'impact immédiat, avec l'augmentation complète prenant effet le 1er avril 2026. En revanche, les autres municipalités connaîtront une augmentation par phases, le taux final doublé ne prenant pleinement effet qu'en avril 2027. Le processus législatif avance rapidement, avec des amendements conjoints déjà soumis et un vote parlementaire complet anticipé avant la fin février.

L'Accord

L'impasse politique qui avait bloqué la réforme de la taxe touristique est enfin rompue. Le PSC, Esquerra Republicana et Comuns ont enregistré des amendements conjoints au projet législatif actuellement en cours de traitement au Parlament. Cette action coordonnée signale un front unifié sur une politique qui a fait l'objet d'un débat intense.

La machine législative est maintenant en marche pour une approbation rapide. L'objectif est de faire ratifier la nouvelle loi au Parlement catalan d'ici la fin février. Ce calendrier garantit que le cadre juridique est en place pour la première phase de l'augmentation de la taxe qui débutera un mois plus tard, le 1er avril. L'accord résout les desencuentros (désaccords) précédents concernant les critères spécifiques d'application de la taxe, ouvrant la voie à cette poussée législative unifiée.

Calendrier de Mise en Œuvre

Le déploiement de la taxe doublée est structuré différemment pour la capitale et le reste de la région. Cette approche à deux niveaux reflète le paysage économique et touristique unique de Barcelone par rapport aux autres municipalités catalanes.

Le calendrier de mise en œuvre est le suivant :

  • 1er avril 2026 : Le taux de taxe complet et doublé prend effet à Barcelone.
  • 1er avril 2026 : Une augmentation initiale et partielle est appliquée dans toutes les autres municipalités de Catalogne.
  • 1er avril 2027 : Le taux de taxe final et entièrement doublé est mis en œuvre dans toutes les municipalités restantes.

Ce calendrier échelonné offre une période de transition pour les entreprises et les opérateurs touristiques en dehors de la capitale, leur permettant de s'adapter au nouveau paysage financier sur une année complète.

Impact Financier

La décision de doubler la taxe touristique représente un changement majeur de politique fiscale pour la région. La taxe, prélevée sur les visiteurs séjournant dans des hôtels et d'autres hébergements, est une source de revenus importante pour les gouvernements locaux. Le doublement de ce taux augmentera considérablement les fonds disponibles pour les services publics, les infrastructures et la gestion du tourisme.

Pour les touristes, le changement signifie une augmentation notable du coût d'un voyage en Catalogne. La taxe est généralement facturée par personne et par nuit, et le montant final dépendra de la catégorie de l'hébergement. Avec le doublement du taux, les visiteurs peuvent s'attendre à ce que cette ligne de facture devienne significativement plus chère, en particulier pour les séjours prolongés. Cette politique positionne la Catalogne aux côtés d'autres grandes destinations européennes qui ont des taxes touristiques élevées, comme Venise et Amsterdam.

Paysage Politique

L'accord marque un moment significatif de collaboration entre les trois partis impliqués. Parvenir à un consensus sur une question économique aussi controversée démontre une volonté de travailler ensemble pour atteindre un objectif politique commun. Les amendements conjoints sont un indicateur clair de cette approche collaborative.

Cet accord établit également un précédent pour la législation future sur les taxes et le tourisme dans la région. En établissant une voie claire et unifiée, les partis ont créé un cadre pour la façon dont les défis similaires pourraient être abordés à l'avenir. L'attention se tourne maintenant vers la session parlementaire de février, où les amendements proposés affronteront leur dernière étape législative avant de devenir loi.

Perspectives

La voie est maintenant libre pour une augmentation historique de la taxe touristique en Catalogne. L'accord entre le PSC, Esquerra Republicana et Comuns a fourni l'élan politique nécessaire pour faire avancer la législation. Tous les regards seront maintenant tournés vers le Parlament à la fin février pour le vote final.

Les principaux points à retenir pour les voyageurs, les entreprises et les résidents incluent :

  • Impact Immédiat sur Barcelone : Les voyageurs vers la capitale feront face à la taxe doublée dès avril 2026.
  • Augmentation Graduelle Ailleurs : Le reste de la région dispose d'un délai de 12 mois avant que le taux complet ne s'applique.
  • Augmentation des Recettes Publiques : Le changement générera de nouveaux fonds importants pour les gouvernements locaux de la région.

Le nouveau régime de taxation est destiné à redéfinir l'économie du tourisme dans l'une des destinations les plus populaires d'Europe.

Questions Fréquemment Posées

Quand l'augmentation de la taxe touristique prend-elle effet ?

L'augmentation commence le 1er avril 2026. Pour Barcelone, ce sera le taux doublé complet. Pour le reste de la Catalogne, ce sera une augmentation partielle, avec le taux final doublé arrivant le 1er avril 2027.

Quels partis politiques ont accepté la hausse de la taxe ?

L'accord a été conclu entre trois partis : PSC, Esquerra Republicana et Comuns. Ils ont soumis des amendements conjoints au projet législatif au Parlament.

Pourquoi Barcelone est-elle traitée différemment des autres municipalités ?

La source ne spécifie pas la raison du traitement différent. Cependant, l'accord stipule que Barcelone mettra en œuvre la hausse complète de la taxe immédiatement en avril 2026, tandis que les autres municipalités disposent d'un calendrier plus graduel.

Quelle est la prochaine étape pour cette législation ?

Les amendements conjoints sont actuellement en cours de traitement au Parlement catalan. La législation devrait être approuvée par la chambre entière à la fin de février 2026, avant que la première phase de l'augmentation ne prenne effet le 1er avril.

Ben Horowitz says that investing teams shouldn't be 'too much bigger than basketball teams'

Ben Horowitz said investment teams should be the size of a playing five in basketball. Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for WIRED Ben Horowitz said his rule of thumb is about five people on an investing team. He said Andreessen Horowitz maintains lean teams and strong communication across verticals. AI tools are enabling startups and VCs to thrive with fewer employees. Ben Horowitz is a big fan of tiny teams. On an episode of the A16z podcast, the Andreessen Horowitz cofounder shared how his venture capital firm maintains a lean operation despite being one of the world's largest. "An investing team shouldn't be too much bigger than a basketball team," he said, referring to advice he got from famed American investor David Swensen in 2009. He added, "A basketball team is five people who start, and the reason for that is the conversation around the investments really needs to be a conversation." Horowitz cofounded the Silicon Valley VC firm with Marc Andreessen in 2009. Before A16Z, he ran enterprise software company Opsware, which Hewlett-Packard acquired. A16z has backed marquee companies including Meta, Airbnb, GitHub, and Coinbase. The VC said he always kept the basketball team size in mind but also knew that the firm had to expand to keep up with how "software was eating the world," his signature phrase. The solution was to split the firm into different investment verticals. To maintain good communication, staff attend other teams' meetings when investment themes overlap. The firm also organizes a two to three-day offsite twice a year, "with not much agenda." Horowitz said that people who join them from other firms say that A16Z has "less politics" than firms with 10 or 11 people because his firm has a culture where politicking is "disincentivized." A16z might have been early to the tiny team trend, but it's catching on fast with VCs and startups across the world. Startups are actively seeking to stay small, with many having fewer than 10 people. Founders told Business Insider that AI and vibe coding tools have boosted their productivity, allowing them to get things done with far fewer people. Less politics and bureaucracy are also big pluses, they say. "We're going to see 10-person companies with billion-dollar valuations pretty soon," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in February 2024. "In my little group chat with my tech CEO friends, there's this betting pool for the first year there is a one-person billion-dollar company, which would've been unimaginable without AI. And now will happen." Read the original article on Business Insider

Jennifer Lawrence says a 15-minute compromise helps her and her husband make their differences work

Jennifer Lawrence Christopher Polk/2026GG/Penske Media via Getty Images Jennifer Lawrence, 35, says she married someone who is the "opposite" of her. While he is good at sticking to a schedule, it's something she finds challenging, she said. "But we've learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room," Lawrence said. Jennifer Lawrence, 35, says one small compromise helps balance her free-spirited personality with her husband's love of structure. "I married somebody who is the opposite of me. He is so organized," Lawrence said during an appearance on Tuesday's episode of the "Smartless" podcast. "He's an anchor. Everything is ordered, like on the sink. Like I have to, you know, like keep the closet doors closed, and I have like my little jobs that I work really hard to do," she said. When asked which of her habits frustrates her husband the most, Lawrence said it was her struggle with timing. "The schedule. So, our kids. I mean, I get it now. I get it. But like they're on a very strict schedule, you know? It's like breakfast, 7:30," the "Hunger Games" actor said. While her husband is good at sticking to a schedule, especially when it comes to their kids, it's something she finds challenging, Lawrence said. "He's good at keeping it. But we've learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room," she said. Lawrence has two sons with her husband, Cooke Maroney, whom she married in 2019. This is not the first time that she has talked about her family life. Speaking with Cameron Diaz for Interview magazine in 2021, Lawrence said becoming a mother has made her more selective when it comes to choosing her projects. "There's no squeezing when you have a baby. There's just home, and it's the best. It definitely helps weed out projects: 'Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Is this worth being away from my child for half the day?'" she said. Lawrence also credited her husband with making things easier for her as a working mother. "Yeah, and fortunately, my husband is the greatest father in the entire world, so when I'm working, I don't have any more guilt than the usual every day, all-day parent guilt," she said. Lawrence also told Vanity Fair in 2021 that one of her favorite activities is going to the grocery store with her husband. "I don't know why but it fills me with a lot of joy. I think maybe because it's almost a metaphor for marriage. 'Okay, we've got this list. These are the things we need. Let's work together and get this done.'" Lawrence said.

Creator income inequality is rising as top influencers rake in big paydays from brands

Creator income inequality is rising as top influencers rake in big paydays from brands

Top creator Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, at the "Beast Games" season 2 premiere. JC Olivera/Variety via Getty Images Creator income inequality is rising, with the top 1% earning 21% of brand spending, per new CreatorIQ data. The trend has continued in each of the last two years. Big brands often favor top creators, making it harder for smaller influencers to compete. Creators are raking in the ad dollars — but the wealth is being shared less and less equally. New data from the influencer-marketing platform CreatorIQ shows that the income gap in the creator economy is widening. The top 10% of creators on CreatorIQ's platform received 62% of ad payments in 2025, up from 53% in 2023. Similarly, the top 1% received 21% of the total ad payment volume, up from 15% in 2023. CreatorIQ, which included the 2025 data in a new report released on Wednesday, examined 65,000 payments over a three-year period from brands and agencies to creators who received flat payments through its software. The data reflects an overall pattern in the creator economy. Brands are shifting more of their marketing dollars to creators, with payments more than doubling over the last two years in CreatorIQ's dataset. Overall, US advertiser spending on creators was expected to hit $37 billion in 2025, according to a November report from the Interactive Advertising Bureau. At the same time, much of the ad money is going to a relatively narrow segment of top talent. While many creators also make money outside influencer marketing — such as from subscriptions or direct payments from platforms like YouTube — brand sponsorships are generally the industry's top revenue source. Jasmine Enberg, cofounder and co-CEO of Scalable, a new media company focused on the creator economy, said the numbers show the industry is starting to resemble traditional entertainment, where top players rake in substantial sums, leaving smaller ones to compete for the leftovers. Enberg said the divide would only grow as big creators get larger projects, such as TV campaigns or Netflix deals. "We need to empower brands to diversify their investment more confidently," Brit Starr, CMO of CreatorIQ, said of the industry. CreatorIQ's survey of 300 creators found that only 11% earned $100,000 or more. About one-quarter of the creators surveyed fell into each of the "$50,000 to $100,000" and the "$25,000 to $50,000" categories. CreatorIQ's report included additional data points that help explain the current dynamics of the creator economy. The number of creators receiving payments within CreatorIQ's network more than doubled from 2023 to 2025, which could indicate an overall surge in influencers entering the market. While the average earnings per creator rose to $11,400 in 2025 from $9,200 in 2023, the median actually declined slightly, from $3,500 to $3,000. That suggests that top creators are pulling the average higher, while the typical creator is earning less. What's driving the pay gap Enberg said major advertisers have contributed to the sector's income inequality because they're more likely to allocate their budgets to a small number of top creators. Talent managers who spoke with Business Insider said earnings distribution had been lumpy. Budgets have definitely grown, but they haven't kept pace with the expansion of the creator population, said Kyle Hjelmeseth, CEO of G&B Digital Management. "There are now many more small accounts that will take $25 to post, for example," he said. Meanwhile, advertisers often spend a large chunk of their influencer budgets directly with social media platforms, making it harder for creators — especially smaller ones — to develop direct and potentially lasting relationships with brands, creator-industry insiders said. Becca Bahrke, the CEO of Illuminate Social, a creator management firm, said the CreatorIQ payment concentration data reflect what she's seeing among her own clients. She said she'd seen some full-time creators take the off-ramp to a different job. "You may have earned over $400,000 in one year, but if you're not showing up consistently on the platform, treating it as a full-time job, you can see the earnings fall," Bahrke said. "It's a lot of work. It's not for the faint of heart." Read the original article on Business Insider
