United Left-Greens has denounced today that the City hidden debt 440,000 euros, according to the Court of Auditors has the Autonomous Community in our town.
The report of the court, made public in yesterday, stated, in relation to debt collection management, there are 378 by the Autonomous Community, with a balance of 440,000 euros and would be found in the enforcement period .
The report also relates that the City is trying to compensate for such debt through withholding Business Tax that should be transferred to regional coffers.
But the Court of Auditors warns that there is a risk, due to the age of debts, which fall into the prescription and not be perceived that amount by the municipal coffers.
For United Left-Greens is unacceptable that while the City Council meets in a timely manner their tax obligations to the rest of government at all taxes, the Autonomous Region not only fails to fulfill its legal obligation to transfer the funds to be put into his hand as Provincial, it also presents a delinquent behavior towards the city of Cartagena.
Practice is not only because times of crisis, but also has conducted in economic bonanza.
Also surprises left formation that when a citizen or a company does not meet their tax obligations municipal revenue acts to the end but when the payer is the Autonomous Community, both mistreats Cartagena, has an attitude much looser.
Although the Court of Auditors pointed to immunity from seizure of the assets of the Autonomous Community, which precludes the enforcement procedure, there are judgments of the Constitutional Court (176/1998 and 211/1998) that allow the seizure of assets not subject to use or public service.
Similarly, the judgment 1.011 / 2005 the Supreme Court says that you can not deprive local authorities of the possibility of using coercive procedures and to practice accurate measures of execution for the collection of their tax credits when the obligor's a administration after the guarantees, payment requirements and legally established notifications have been observed.
Therefore, IU-Green has requested that full agreement that begin urgently relevant administrative procedures to ensure the collection of 440,000 euros to the Autonomous Community of Murcia to the City of Cartagena in unpaid taxes.
