"The Councilor of Finance of the City of Cartagena, Jose Cabezas, today explained the reasons why, in their view, justifies rise 4.5% in various municipal taxes (IBI, sewerage, refuse collection). The used argument maintains that the calculation was performed using the CPI for September was 4.5% then, because municipal ordinances on taxes must be approved before December 31, to enter into force on January 1, reported from Cartagena UPyD in a statement.
Cartagena UPyD believes that "would be more accurate calculation using the CPI for November, (it is closer to actual inflation year-end) which is the State Administration provides for the updating of pensions, such as Councillor of Finance himself acknowledges. "
Also from Cartagena UPyD believe that "it is possible to reconsider the calculation of the rise once established, the percentage of municipal budgets, at least in those taxes do not have the implementation period on January 1, as occurs, for example, the IBI., which is passed to charge citizens to half of the year.
