The Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Jose Ignacio Gras, has described the tax ordinance submitted by the City of Murcia insufficient and criticized the lack of "relief" for hundreds of families facing economic difficulties in the city.
"These ordinances are poor and do nothing to alleviate the pocket of thousands of Murcia and Murcia who are going through very difficult times. No ordinances have been drawn up taking into account social needs," stated the Socialist spokesman in reference to down 2% from the rate for the tax on immovable property, since the savings will be greater for those with properties of a higher value.
"We must invest in a social IBI, through which families who do not have sufficient resources to pay the tax can have aids or benefits in this regard. We will study in depth these ordinances and make this and other proposals to among all to achieve a more socially just tax ordinance, "he explained.
Jose Ignacio Gras has reported that no solution is given to injustice affecting hundreds of residents of the rural area of ​​Murcia, which for years paid the corresponding IBI to building land while in that soil is not urbanized and there are even crops.
"At the time the housing boom such as developable land was considered, but has not put a brick or since. The neighbors reported paying a disproportionate property tax on land under cultivation. It is urgent to fix the situation and make amends to these people paying more than they should, "said Gras.
PSOE spokesman in the city of Murcia has also referred to the freezing of rates and charges, which he described as inadequate, because in these years some of these rates have experienced increases and, therefore, "should be reviewed and consider them down. "
"We will continue working on these tax ordinance providing socially just alternatives and given to those who have suffered most during these years and have greater needs," he concluded.
