Civic education proposed in the first municipal plenary session to review the Municipal General Urban Plan starts, and meanwhile, proposes the application of the 90% bonus of this tax

MURCIA NOW complaint that residents of the garden of Murcia and districts they are coming receipts Property Tax (IBI), after the municipal elections, with very strong increases in their amounts.

The political party has found cases of neighbors who have gone to pay 30 euros a year Serle required now more than 450 euros (for orchards about two tahúllas), because before you Ayuntamiento charge them as rustic land and now does as urban terrain.

These changes in receipts IBI will affect as the paper value of urban real estate in the municipality of Murcia approved by Resolution of September 29, 2014, about six million square meters of the garden of Murcia, which they are Thousands of residents affected by the huge rise in their property tax bill.

A particularly striking fact is that IBI receipts with no tax increases have begun to reach homes until after the municipal elections of May 24, when the period for payment began on May 1 and ends on 6 July.

This gives thought to think that the city of Murcia has refused to submit before the election receipts, despite already ran the deadline for payment, to avoid provoking the consequent disgust in the thousands of families affected, certainly They would have reconsidered their vote for the Popular Party, responsible for this excessive tax increase.

With the rise of IBI, injustice continues giving the same tax that is paid by a garden of lettuce in Beniaján that for a plot in the center of the city, when the reality is that in the garden does not enjoy the services municipal justifying payment of IBI, being an example of the policy of discrimination towards the inhabitants of the districts and the garden of Murcia the outgoing government led by the City Council Miguel Angel House has been practicing for 20 years.

For these reasons, NOW MURCIA propose in the first municipal plenary that the procedure for the revision of the Municipal land-use planning of Murcia starts, to end the disastrous consequences that causes a viable urban planning and now outdated from the point economic, demographic and environmental terms, resulting in addition to these taxes.

While the revision of the General Plan is pending, NOW MURCIA proposes the immediate revision of the Tax Ordinance Regulating the Property Tax for a bonus of 90% of the land tax for those with relationship or precedence of primary activities apply agricultural, livestock, forestry, or similar character, and which have a level of services under municipal jurisdiction, infrastructure or below the existing public amenities in the areas or consolidated areas of the municipality, as permitted by Article 74 of the Law of Estates local, which empowers municipalities to apply facultative bonuses the full amount of the property tax.

Thus those Murcia maintaining their gardens cultivated and in good condition would reward, as well contribute to the maintenance of fertile soils that regulate the microclimate of the valley, protecting desertification, exercising the function of purifying the air we all breathe and keeping a place like Huerta de Murcia with major environmental, landscape and cultural values ​​that belong to all.

With this measure the cultivation and care of the garden of Murcia be incentivized, which would win all, to improve the environment of the city and villages.

To offset the drop in revenue from this tax, the City should apply the surcharge that allows the law and coming laid down in Article 72.4 of the Law Regulating Local Tax, and now MURCIA proposes to be a surcharge of up to 50% of the net amount of the IBI tax on residential properties that are vacant permanent and owned by banks.

Besides a powerful reason, which is social justice and non-discrimination among citizens, it is that these two measures, firstly the cultivation and care of the garden of Murcia be incentivized, and another to put pressure on They remain vacant homes to put on the market by lowering the price of the sale or rental of these homes.

The establishment of these measures is an exclusive competence of the City of Murcia, that is a decision of the mayor, that just changing the municipal ordinance regulating the tax and would apply.
