The extraordinary plenary session of the Municipal Corporation has approved this morning with the votes for and against the PP and PSOE Citizens Movement, the opinion of the Committee on Finance on the one hand, dismissing the appeal of companies calling for a 90% reduction in the type of Special Nature Estate (BICES), and on the other, they estimated the complaint by the association of large families referred to the deadline to apply for the rebate in property tax and to submit documentation .
In the first case, the resource companies, the government decided not to accept this reduction and let the tax rate two tenths below the legal maximum.
Councilman Hacienda, José Cabezas, has argued that this is not the economic time for taxing companies with the maximum rate given that they will pay between four and six times more than last year by the increase in the tax base tax.
Cabezas explained that, although it has decided to stay up to two tenths of companies like Iberdrola will increase from € 86,000 to EUR 549,000 of IBI in two years.
The councilman said Repsol, which is the company that will create more jobs next year, will pay for this tax four times a year and that small and medium businesses located in the port area will also experience an increase that may represent multiply six bill a year ago.
The Councillor for Finance explained that this tax base has grown and the municipal government has decided to type two tenths below the legal maximum because some companies still pay next year six times more than last year.
Seamount has argued that this is not the time to put the maximum allowed.
Citizen Movement spokesman, Luis Carlos García Conesa, has stressed the idea that companies should pay according to their income, so that small and medium enterprises, and families should pay less than larger ones.
For its part, the PSOE, in favor of some changes such as property tax rebate to large families, believes that in a crisis situation like the present one should think in small and medium enterprises, which the group generates the largest socialist share of employment, and weakest citizens.
