Answer

What is the difference between blanket tax cuts and targeted relief in Mallorca?

Blanket tax cuts lower taxes for everyone, but may not reach households most in need and can be less efficient on an island economy. Targeted relief focuses on specific groups, like low-income households or businesses, and requires monitoring to ensure benefits reach the intended recipients. On Mallorca, some proposals favor direct transfers and targeted subsidies while other measures aim for broader cuts.
