The mayor of the Treasury recalled that the payment of the second receipt was postponed until November 18, but we can not wait any longer "since we must comply with a fiscal calendar, and by law we are required to collect it before the end of the current exercise".
The councilor of Finance of the City of Lorca, Isidro Abellán, announced this morning that "from the government team is struggling to get the Government of Spain to approve the 50 percent bonus of the Real Estate Tax for this year 2019, in what we are hopeful. "
The councilor of the Treasury has insisted that "it must be clear that there is a commitment on the part of the current acting president, Pedro Sánchez, that when government is formed in Spain and the legislature begins to run, the economic resources will be disbursed to Lorca, including this bonus from the IBI. Sanchez said this publicly last week during his visit to Los Alcázares and we trust what he said, because that is how he has committed himself to Lorca. "
Abellán added that "another issue is that government can finally be formed, because, as Lorca Mayor Diego Jose Mateos said yesterday, the parliament is very divided and getting a government formed is complicated."
The mayor stressed that "at the same time in which that possible government is formed at the national level, the government team of this City Council will be demanding with this matter and will demand that the promise be fulfilled, because as we have always said, for us the first thing is Lorca, and we will be demanding wherever, however and before whoever it is. "
The councilor of the Treasury has added that "the good thing that a coalition government between PSOE and United We can conform is that we will not be the only ones who demand the application of this bonus, but that there will be in the City Council another political formation as it is Left United that can do the same job as us in Madrid that this commitment is fulfilled. "
The mayor of the Treasury recalled that "there is a fiscal calendar that must be complied with, and by law we are obliged to collect receipts before the end of this year. We have delayed as far as we have been able to collect receipts to try to save time in view of the possible formation of a national government, in fact, the voluntary payment term ends on December 20, 11 days before the end of the year. "
Abellán explained that "however, the direct debit receipts, which were expected to be collected on October 18, will be turned on this Monday, November 18, at which time the letters of payment of the second 50% will begin to arrive whose term of payment will be on December 20 ".
The mayor of the Treasury stressed that "citizens must be clear that, if the bonus is approved by the government, if they receive the necessary support, the money paid by the neighbors will be returned in full to taxpayers or compensated for financial years later one who so requests. "
