Socialists continue to demand that only the neighbor or neighbor who uses it in a proven way pay for the ford, and not, as currently happens, the rate continues to be collected indiscriminately "although there are garages that are actually living rooms "

The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Enrique Ayuso, has offered a press conference Tuesday to insist on the new fiscal ordinance and regulation of fords that "must be fair and equal and end the discrimination suffered by the districts with respect to urban center".

In this sense, Ayuso has reported on one of the demands of the Socialist Group that have been accepted by the local government and that will benefit more than 3,700 neighbors and neighbors of the municipality.

"We have successfully negotiated a reduction in the tax rate, which will increase from 107.85 euros per year to 54.30, which will mean almost 50% savings, especially for owners of fords located in the districts. Achievement is the result of November 2016, as a condition to approve the tax ordinances, the Socialist Group claimed to reduce the tax categories of the streets of the districts classified as 4th and 5th tax category to 6th and 7th. "

In addition, socialists continue to defend the elimination of the "unjust bond" currently charged to those citizens who apply for a ford.

"It is a bond that sometimes amounts to thousands of euros and that responds only to the hypothetical assumption that the person changed his mind and would have to remake the sidewalk," said Ayuso, who added that "what has been decided, Although we are still struggling to eliminate bail, it is to be returned to those who in the next six months have not given up on the use of the ford, but what we demand is that the bond be replaced by a report prior to the granting of the ford by the Technical services, certifying that the work is correct ".

Finally, the Socialist Group has emphasized the "irrational" of the fact that the City of Murcia covers the rate of fords both to those neighbors who use it and those who do not.

"The City Council only looks at whether there is a garage door and if there is a recess on the sidewalk, and then charges by default, without making sure that that recess and that garage are being used to introduce vehicles. A large number of Murcia and Murcia that in what should be a garage space have a small leisure space, a living room or a room, but pay ford, "said Ayuso, who also recalled that" if they have not Are paying and are asked to pay, they have to pay four previous tax years and a fine, even if they have a garage, it is actually a living room. "

"We believe, and we demand it, that the rule should be to charge the levy by ford when the use of it is proven and not simply by having a garage door, no more," insisted the mayor of the PSOE, "he concluded.
