The income of the City Council will be conditioned by policies aimed at improving people's living conditions and promoting economic opportunities, which is why tax rates are once again kept unchanged and measures to reduce the tax burden on families , administrative simplification and the promotion of employment.
Thus, with this Budget it reduces the rate of fords by around 45% -50%, the price of water decreases by approximately 2% and the rate of discharge to the sewage system by the communities disappears.
Also, the forecast of income of the IBI in urban to the downside was revised, and, in paper, to the rise, as a result of the cadastral revision that is finishing the Ministry of Property.
Similarly, the progressive recovery of the construction sector, as well as the indicators of new vehicle registrations, allow us to foresee higher revenues in the ICIO and the Vehicle Tax.
