Councilman Finance and Contracting believes that the "new and original" proposal's change to raise the IBI companies may be one reason why, for the first time in history, unemployment in the capital has exceeded the registered in the Community of Madrid
PP and C's opposed this measure considering that Carmena not favor the recovery of the labor market and time has proved them right
The "new and original" proposal's change for the modification of IBI for 2017, copied policies Carmena in the city of Madrid, may be one reason why, for the first time in history, unemployment in the capital has exceeded the one registered in the Community of Madrid.
So he understands the Councillor of Finance and Employment, Eduardo Martinez-Oliva, who notes that, according to the EPA, while between June 2015 and April 2016, the unemployment rate in Spain fell 1.37% in the Community of Madrid did 0.85% and in the city of Madrid 0.02%.
When Carmena was elected Mayor, unemployment was six tenths better than his Community;
now it is three tenths worse.
Eduardo Martínez-Oliva wondered whether this result will have something to do with this fiscal policy of increasing the tax burden on businesses and trades, forgetting that they are the main drivers of employment and that, in addition to IBI, already pay other taxes, such as IAE, Companies, Vehicles, fees, etc.
Therefore, "at a difficult time for employment, any measure affecting the high impulse to the labor market does not have the support of the Popular Party," he said councilor responsible for Finance.
Martinez-Oliva also recalled that when the Madrid City Council approved this tax measure, both PP and C's opposed on the grounds that did not favor employment and "time has proved them right."
Moreover, the Popular Party councilor recalled that the City of Murcia has managed to reduce the IBI all Murcia 6% in the last two years without tax so harmful to any group.
