| Isabel García: "It is time to adopt far-reaching measures.

It is the minimum that should be required of an administration" | This morning, the councilor of the Municipal Group MC Cartagena, Isabel García, has advanced that her formation will defend an initiative during the next plenary session to "try to reconsider the local government so that it adopts concrete decisions that help Cartagena to overcome the crisis economic in which we are involved ". More specifically, the councilor has considered that "tax ordinances are an effective tool that would serve to alleviate the day to day of individuals and companies.

We consider it essential that this Executive promote real economic policy measures that adapt the tax ordinances of 2021 to these moments of crisis and uncertainty.

It is the least that should be demanded of them.

" In line with this demand, the mayor of Cartagena recalled that last year her training already presented a "battery of proposals aimed at lowering the tax burden on companies and individuals, as well as administrative burdens, as we collected in our Government Program The final objective of a gradual reduction would even be to permanently eliminate taxes and fees in those related to business openings.

" "Last year, this Government was not up to the task, ignoring our reasons.

For the next year they will have a new opportunity to show if the tax collection effort resulting from their inability to manage can more than help Cartagena to cope with this crisis", Garcia has argued. Help individuals and companies Thus, for individuals, the Cartagena formation proposes the reduction of the tax rate of the Real Estate Tax (IBI) and eliminate the limit of the cadastral value in order to subsidize large families; the 75% discount on the tax on Mechanical Traction Vehicles also for electric motorcycles, as is already done with cars; establish symbolic prices for the use of municipal sports facilities, or that in the ordinance of fees for the provision of urban services, fees for file views are not required in cases where requests are made in exercise of the right to information through the Transparency Office, among other measures. As for companies, MC Cartagena advocates increasing the rebates in the Tax on Constructions, Installations and Works (ICIO) for job creation for both SMEs and the self-employed who carry out works; establish a bonus for the completion of works in the adaptation of businesses to the measures to be adopted by COVID-19; Eliminate by 2021 the opening rate for new businesses, the responsible declaration of Trade Activities and Innocuous Activities, prior communication or communication of a strict change of ownership, all of this in order to promote the opening of new companies and job creation in the town. In the same way, the exemption from the public road occupancy rate for terraces must be maintained, in addition to including a specific street map, or the market rates must be suspended and the exemption from the rate for car taxi stops and kiosks must be maintained. Finally, Isabel García added that "we seek to help individuals and companies.

They are tangible and acceptable measures for an administration like ours, so that ultimately everything is limited to a question of political will."
