The Local Government Committee this morning approved the proposal of Councillor in the area of Finance, Personnel and General Scheme, Fatima Suanzes on changing tax ordinances 2012.
The details of this update charges have been filed by the Councillor to the media in an appearance later, and in which Suanzes noted that the rates and taxes will go up as much as the CPI has risen in the last two years that have been frozen.
Above taxes only grow more than four years have not been updated or have even declined during this time.
For the councilor, the proposal will not bring too much pressure on families and offer advantages to entrepreneurs who want to create jobs in Cartagena, through various bonuses.
To do this, the government team has set three main objectives:
First, even though the rise, tax containment respect that has always characterized this Team, and which since 1995 has been noteworthy recently experienced increased municipal taxes Cartagena.
The second objective is the intent that the economic impact of rising less harsh on lower incomes even if an effort for citizens.
Finally, get, nevertheless, a significant amount of revenue to the Municipal Treasury, about seven million euros, to offset the economic situation of the City.
In short, look for the economic equilibrium without loading the stresses on families.
ACTUALIZACIÃ "N FEE
Councillor recalled that the Cartagena have had frozen almost all taxes and fees for two years, some have been fixed for four years followed, and even longer.
Suanzes has warned that this situation could not be maintained in a time that the city faces more services with less help from the other administrations.
What has approved the Board of Governors is to recover the IPC has not been increased over the past two years, representing 5.9%, with some exceptions.
IPC is recovered for kiosk installation fees, terraces, occupation of public roads with ATM and vending machines, markets, stepping stones and plants in the ground or in flight above the street.
Fees for water, sewer and garbage collection are unchanged for now, because according to the Councillor is currently being negotiated with concessionaires to lower service costs.
VEHICLES AND IBI
As for taxes, IAE also amending the Vehicle and Property Tax.
The taxes that directly affect the domestic economy are the IBI urban and tourist vehicles.
In the case of Property Tax for urban property, the update is less than the IPC approved accumulated.
He remains in the 5.78% has been applied because the tax rate that most closely to that update below.
That 5.9% is translated into euros on average each family Cartagena 13.25 euros a year.
Suanzes has commented that the IBI in Cartagena is the least of our environment and one of the lowest in Spain.
This is explained by the fact that our last review in 1997 cadastral, so that the tax is charged on many real estate prices were 14 years ago.
The other tax that falls directly as fixed cost to families is that of motor vehicles.
The seal has frozen passenger car for four years.
The proposed revision for passenger cars is 7.53%.
Translated into euros, this revision is 4.77 euros a year for a vehicle between 8 and 12 horses, or 10.07 euros a year for a vehicle between 12 and 16 horses.
For this tax, which affects passenger cars, they provide an income of 11 million euros, about 770,000 more than in 2011.
Councillor pointed out that a family with an average home and two vehicles should contribute only 28 euros for these items over a year, just over two per month.
A family with an average household and an average vehicle would be an increase of 20 per year with this review.
In addition, the IBI will continue the reduction to large families.
IBI RUSTIC BICEPS E IAE
Cumulative CPI over the IBI rise rustic nature.
This tax had not risen since 1988.
If you have patched the CPI since that date, the tax would have risen by 123%, but the proposed revision is 16.67%.
For this tax provides revenues of 417,000 euros, about 60,000 more than in 2011.
For its part, the IBI for properties of special features, BICES, a 18.18% rise.
Remember that this tax was reduced by 15.38% in 2008, so the cumulative increase is actually 2.8%.
This tax applies to the port companies, the power generation and highways.
This contribution is credited 11'3 million; about 549,000 euros more than in 2011.
With respect to the tax on economic activities (IAE), which applies only to businesses that have turnover of more than one million euros, the Councillor recalled that in Cartagena was maintained without raises since 1998 and had 13 years without being reviewed.
Still, the turnover of 2011 has been reduced by 1.87%, probably due to the decrease in the turnover of the companies.
The increase in revenue anticipated with the new IAE is 1.96 million euros, ie 18.4%, with total revenues of about 12.62 million euros.
This amount varies by company size.
There are five million shares of IBI and of these, 62% have tax residence outside Cartagena.
The Department of Finance estimates that of these 12.62 million euros to raise only 843,000 correspond to companies based in Cartagena.
INCENTIVES FOR BUSINESSES

This bonus will be up to 50% in the same proportion that will increase the number of workers.
Businesses are also starting their activity in Cartagena will taxed only half of the IAE for the first five years.
On the other hand it creates a special bonus of up to 95% in tax structures for companies that believe in our industrial parks next year.
This bonus will be incremental in the number of new jobs.
Also will be credited up to 55% construction tax for companies to relocate, expand their facilities or undertake improvement works. This bonus will also be gradual and will also be linked to increased employment.
