The Treasury conditions the update of the Fiscal Ordinances to the Autonomous Community to assume improper powers (21/10/2019)

The councilor of the Treasury, Felipe García, has appeared this morning to explain the most important points of the modification of the Fiscal Ordinances that will be in full this October, and that will serve to configure the Municipal Budgets of the year 2020.

In his presentation he explained the economic evolution of the City Council in the last four years, when "in 2015 there were just over 3 million euros in debts with banks and judgments to pay."

In addition to "paying off all these debts," he said, "we have made progress in the transformation of Alhama, making transparent economic management and squeezing until the last euro we had."

Garcia has also talked about "economic restrictions" following the Organic Law 2/2012 on Budget Stability and Financial Sustainability "that prevents us from reinvesting savings in the municipality and we can only use them for the payment of judicial sentences. of 2018, the savings of our City Council amounted to 7.4 million euros, which for this circumstance we have not been able to touch ".

The councilor has complained that "we have not had any support from the Autonomous Community by not taking care of the expenses and investments that correspond to education, employment, and social services, among others, amounting to 1.5 million euros year".

In this sense, he has indicated that "in the last four years, our City Council has had to pay around 6 million euros that did not correspond to it".

For García "the Regional Government has not fulfilled its obligation to write and process a Law on Local Financing that would provide, according to our calculations, with about 2 million euros a year, to the municipality of Alhama and that, by not moving forward, drowns the accounts of this and all the municipalities of the Region. "

On the other hand, he recalled "the economic blows we have had to endure in these years."

The most decisive "has been the drop in revenues by IBI of the undeveloped urban complexes or complexes, located on land near where the Paramount theme park was to be built."

And he adds "we had to take the bull by the horns and prick the real estate bubble that we dragged from the Land Law of 2001, because the courts of justice, through sentences, have come to tell us that the values ​​before the crises have been far from the current market, "which has caused a decrease in revenue of more than one million euros.

Another example the Councilor has given is that of the Capital Gains.

"In 2017, the Constitutional Court ruled that this tax could not be collected when the transmission of urban land is carried out at a loss. The consequences of this is that between the end of 2017 and 2018 we had to return about five million euros we had in the banks. "

Felipe García has described the proposal that will go to the Plenary session this October, "with the objective of continuing to maintain the investments and services provided", for which he will present a conditional update of the following income regulatory indices:

IAE

It stands at 1.05

ICIO.

It stands at 3.4

URBAN IBI.

It stands at 0.59

RUSTIC IBI.

It stands at 0.72

The IAE (Tax on Economic Activities) only applies to companies that invoice more than one million euros, and its current coefficient is 0.75, the regional average being 1.2.

As for the ICIO (Construction, Installations and Works Tax), its value at this time is 2.75 and the regional average 3.4.

The urban IBI (Real Estate Tax) is 0.51, the average for the Region being 0.64.

And the rustic IBI the current tax rate is 0.62, when the regional average is 0.87.

With this, the City Council expects to have 1.4 million euros more in the revenue chapter in the conformation of the 2020 Municipal Budget.

On the other hand, these Fiscal Ordinances also include the extension of payment terms by up to 36 months (currently the maximum limit is 18 months), to facilitate as much as possible the deferral or fractionation of debts of those neighbors of Alhama with difficulties.

In addition, it raises the 40% bonus in the rustic IBI for large and single-parent families, "which adds to the reduction of more than 50% of the last legislature that benefited the owners of rural plots listed as urban in the suburbs of the locality, "he remembers.

The text also keeps the waste receipt down by 30% for people over 65 and people living alone with limited financial resources, a measure that has been applied since 2016.

The councilor of the Treasury has finished acquiring the commitment that "at the moment in which the regional government assumes the improper powers that correspond to it and that today we continue lending and paying all the residents of Alhama, we will proceed immediately to update the Fiscal Ordinances downwards from the values ​​indicated above. "

Letter to the President of the Autonomous Community

This same morning, the mayor, Mariola Guevara, has sent a letter to the regional president Fernando López Miras transferring this situation, indicating that "it is not fair that the residents of Alhama assume that economic burden that forces us to have that to invest important amounts of the municipal budget every year and that leaves us without room for maneuver to continue advancing in investments and services ".

It expresses the "imperative need to proceed to write and present a Law on Local Financing that we have been waiting for years and that suffocates all municipalities becoming indirect funders of the Autonomous Community by having to take care of investments and current expenditure that don't belong to us. "

And he ends by asking him again "for a speedy meeting and thus being able to address this issue, as well as other local issues of special interest, as I advanced by letter last August."
