Promote opportunities
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, the price of water decreases and the rate of discharge to the sewage system disappears by the communities.
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.
Regarding the state of expenditure, almost 75% goes to the provision of basic public services (lighting, housing, parks and gardens, road cleaning, etc.), production of public goods of a preferential nature (health, culture, education, sports, etc.) and economic actions (public transport, markets, commerce, tourism promotion, etc.)
The financial burden is reduced by 26.8%, mainly due to the amortization of loans made in recent years and the forecast of maintenance of low interest rates.
On the contrary, current transfers are one of the chapters that has increased the most (7%) due to the improvements planned in public transport as a consequence of the recovery of frequencies in district lines.
Investments amount to 39 million euros, with important items for the remodeling and creation of green areas of districts, for the annuity corresponding to underground works and the execution of strategic projects.
