The residents of Totana will see their fiscal pressure increase again with the arrival of 2017. The municipality is one of eight in the Region (next to Alcantarilla, Bullas, Cartagena, Fortuna, Fuente Alamo, Lorca and Yecla) that are going to See updated their cadastral values, the basis on which the amount of Real Estate Tax is calculated, known as 'contribution', both urban and rural.
But while the rest of the municipalities - except Cartagena - are going to see these values ​​reduced, "in Totana the New Year will arrive with an increase, since the last update was carried out in 2001, 15 years ago," Explain from Citizens Totana in a statement.
On December 4, the Royal Decree was approved, which will update the cadastral values ​​of the 2,451 municipalities that have requested it in addition to Totana.
"According to the tables published by the Ministry of Finance, the revision will mean a 3% increase in the cadastral values ​​and, therefore, in the already high IBI receipts that the totaneros paid," the statement added.
"This is a result of the laziness of the government teams since the last review, since all municipalities that updated the cadastral values ​​after 2005 will see these values ​​reduced and therefore what they pay from IBI," they point out.
Citizens denounced that the measure "will have an immediate impact", since the tax accrues from the first day of January.
"The totaneros are already fed up with the continuous tax rises that we suffer, regardless of who governs", they point out from the orange formation, who assert that "the government team of Totana IU and the PSOE has requested this cadastral revision with the purpose To immediately raise the IBI.
To put the hand in the pocket of the citizens increasing taxes is the easy and unimaginative way to try to fix the economic situation, either through the IBI or the rates of the garbage ".
