The Socialist Party rejects the new tax increase PP and proposes a "progressive and ambitious" fiscal reform (28/10/2016)

Lorca Socialists voted against the new deception of the PP Lorca, since 2017 as 2016 begins: with a general increase in municipal taxes.

To correct this rise, the PSOE proposes "viable and ambitious" alternative measures to alleviate the tax burden of the middle and working classes Township

The deputy spokesman of the PSOE in Lorca, Isidro Abellán has announced the rejection of the Socialist Group to the "new tax increase" that the Popular Party has prepared for 2017 in Lorca.

According Abellan, 2017 start like this year: a new deception of the PP, because the previous elections by ensuring that freeze and would lower taxes were presented, for the second consecutive year, again punish Lorca with a new general rise in many of municipal taxes.

After analyzing the proposal that the PP has presented on the revision of the Tax Ordinance to be discussed today in plenary, Abellán has said that the PP will apply new tax increases which will provide a further adjustment to the pockets of Lorca.

2017 will bring about the rise of 5% in Fees for Provision of Urban Services;

another 5% on public prices for the provision of sporting and cultural services (sports facilities, School of Music, People's University, among others).

It also raises the amount of tax on the Increase in Value of Urban Land, almost 9%.

Another increases the PSOE complaint is 15% more on Business Tax (IAE) for many companies in the municipality.

Also they raise many fines on traffic offenses, being 12 and 33%.

Abellán insists this "deception" of the PP to all Lorca, it ensures that the Councillor of Finance "has hidden this tax increase, refusing to recognize in his public appearances."

This behavior, according Abellán joins the "hypocrisy and lack of courage of the PP when talking about taxes."

In this sense, the PSOE mayor says that if the will of the PP were lower taxes could have corrected the "high" with which they surprised a year ago all Lorca, when increased 10% receipt of IBI, 15% ICIO, or 5% rate of urban, cultural and sports services.

According Isidro Abellán the PP is becoming a real expert in "then preach something to apply just the opposite."

"Praying to God and the hammer" was the expression with which the Socialist councilor has criticized the PP talk of "alleged tax cuts while year after year are dedicated to increasing the tax burden on all Lorca".

In relation to the falling water bill, the Socialist Party welcomes this decision but says that "the PP again shows that there is little brave when it comes to lowering taxes."

According Abellán, this drop is "the only real rebate to apply the PP."

However, he says that considering the "millionaires annual profits of the company Aguas de Lorca (€ 2,740,000 in 2015 and 2,300,000 € in 2014), the margin of reduction could be higher, but again the PP does not have the courage to move the pocket of Lorca the benefits you get this public company. "

"With the PP, they pay less fortunate both as the most"

Abellán has called for a "strong injection of progressivity in these Tax Ordinance".

An argument that reinforces the NO to this policy of "unfair and disproportionate" tax the Popular Party.

The rejection of the PSOE to these Tax Ordinance has been accompanied by a battery of alternative measures that socialists framed within a "progressive and ambitious" fiscal reform that ensures, and would start if the PSOE ruled in the municipality.

Abellán ensures that the PP "the middle and working classes of Lorca make a fiscal effort almost as large as that make those classes with less difficulty," and this situation according to the PSOE "should be corrected."

Among other examples, Abellán said that "should not pay for the same in the IVTM by a car, a family that has a unique vehicle for their daily needs as another family that has two or three vehicles."

Among the measures that the PSOE claims, in a proposal for a yet progressive ambitious fiscal reform, generating economic activity, the Socialists claim that the PP correct up 10% of IBI applied in 2015. They also claim that the City of Lorca enter a weighting in the IBI, to reduce the contribution to those properties considered as a first home, and offset some of this decline with an increase of reasoned as "second, third or subsequent housing, and can be considered as goods deluxe".

They also demand an increase in the ICIO not widespread, but those applicable to owners of single family homes that exceed an operating budget of a home that could be considered, based on this, as well luxury.

Ultimately, it comes to measures that reduce the tax burden on the middle and working classes, and measures to be offset in the sense that most contribute the most cost generated.

However, Abellán has shown little optimistic because thanks to the votes that the PP won in court and those who obtained the absolute majority, will be sufficient to "reject these measures serve to implement a progressive and fair tax reform with interest most citizens of Lorca "sentence.
