    Baghdad - Agencies
    Spain is preparing to deprive the Catalan government of its financial resources of recovering all the tax revenues it receives, which prevents salaries for its officials as well as the means of financing any separatist campaign.
    The central government already regained control of most of the public expenditure last September, after months of dispute with the province in northeastern Spain.
    This action was taken by Madrid to prevent the referendum on independence, but it was eventually brought to a standstill on October 1, the result of which was in favor of the independence of the province.
    Now, the central government will be drying up the last resources of the regional authorities - the taxes and fees that they used to collect directly, such as beatings on inherited property and university registration fees.
    In an effort to stop the secession of Catalonia, the Senate will vote next Friday on measures announced by the government to wrest the powers of the autonomous province.
    Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's party has a majority in the Senate, and government decisions are expected to pass without difficulty.
    If this scenario occurs, the Catalonia tax office will not be subordinate to the Minister of Finance of the Territory nor to its Deputy Chairman, but to the Ministry of Finance of the central Government.
    Madrid already controls the rest of Catalonia's tax revenues, and the new measure will deprive the territorial government of any real resources.
    Madrid is responsible for collecting most of the taxes in Spain and then redistributing them to its 17 regions, which in turn pay public servants' salaries and provide for education and public services.
    The Basque and Navarre regions are the only ones to get their taxes.
    However, since September 16, Madrid has stopped paying the share of the Catalan government, preferring to pay directly for "essential" services such as hospitals, schools and police as well as salaries of government employees.
    Government banks have received orders to tighten control over all bank accounts and cards for members of the Catalan government.
    At the end of last month, there were fears that 170,000 government employees would not be paid after the Catalan government refused to hand over staff records to the central government.
    An agreement was reached at the last minute, enabling staff to receive their salaries eventually.
    If the Senate votes to dissolve the Catalan government, Madrid will have the right to receive the records of Catalonia's employees and salaries will continue to be paid without problems.
    But the central government said it would stop paying the salaries of separatist leaders, headed by Catalonia President Pocchimon.
    Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sainz de Santamaria said on Monday that he would not get one cent anymore.
    Since the economic crisis of 2008, the issue of financial resources has become a major cause of negative sentiment among the Catalans, who say they contribute more to government resources than they receive.
