Since the beginning of the health crisis, the owners of bars, restaurants and market stalls in Murcia and businessmen have stopped paying 2 million euros thanks to the reduction of the rates of tables and chairs and weekly markets, of the garbage rate and the ICIOThe municipal plenary session has approved, in its session this morning, the modification of the fiscal ordinances that will allow Murcian hoteliers not to pay anything to install their terraces during the first half of 2021, thus saving 380,000 euros.This measure is part of the Murcia Plan for Economic and Social Reactivation.In addition, other actions have been approved, such as the application of the 50% reduction in the rate applicable to weekly markets during the first four months of 2021.Likewise, in Murcia there will be no increase in municipal taxes, fees or public prices, not even the update of the CPI, in 2021.This means another year without tax increases, and it has already been 7 since 2013, in addition to maintaining all tax benefits.
Thus, the urban IBI standard for 2018, just two years ago, was 119.9 million euros, while that of 2020 is 110.9 million euros, which is ten million euros less, affecting this reduction fundamentally to homes located in districts.The extension of the reduction in rates for tables and chairs and weekly markets, together with the one already approved in the previous amendment, together with the reduction in the rate of garbage and ICIO, represents an impact of almost 2 million euros in sales taxes that businessmen will stop paying to the municipal coffers.Tax procedures by videoconferenceThe project includes the incorporation of administrative simplification measures and reduction of formal obligations to the taxpayer.
Thus, Murcians will now be able to carry out their procedures by videoconference and receive personalized attention without having to travel, thus allowing closer and more accessible communication and guaranteeing the safety of users in this time of pandemic.In this way, citizens will be able to resolve all their tax procedures, and even inspection procedures now as well, by videoconference.Taxpayers are already used to carrying out their negotiations with the Municipal Tax Agency by telephone and by voice recording.
