Mecca Antonio Garcia, Alderman-spokesman of the municipal group of Citizens - Party of citizenship in the city of Lorca wanted to make public, at a press conference this morning, the content of the motions that will take the next regular full month of September concerning the regularization and standardization of tax (IBI) in our town.
The proposals that the political party seeks to be approved, based on legal regulations and jurisprudence sown for example after the Supreme Court ruling of May 30, 2014, by which, as summarized Mecca, "Charging the IBI of building plots and urban cadastral effects, it is illegal, if it has not started its urban development ".
The same legal doctrine has the following statement: "The assessed value must always be the ultimate roof market value and not respecting this limit is a violation of the principle of economic capacity that does not allow for tax value a property above market value , so it would be taxing a fictitious or non-existent wealth. "
Antonio Meca has reported on numerous occasions that in 2005 the decision to raise the real estate assessed value of Lorca 10% every year for 10 years (the so-called "catastrazo") was made, a fact that has led to the level of taxation of IBI current to a "huge market and outside, unaffordable for many families and probably illegal under the abovementioned law" amounts.
Considered illegal the collection of this tax, it could also enable those affected to claim retroactive amounts paid irregularly.
Now fulfilled that commitment to progressive rise in assessed value, Citizens (C's) proposed in his motion to the next regular plenary session in September the following:
Review of assessed value to market value.
Change the assessed value of the development land to rustic.
By the instrument of urban development thereof have not started.
Quantify the tax unduly paid to Lorca citizens in recent years.
Require the local government to act ex officio in the protection of citizens affected by this collection of IBI irregular and urge the competent authorities to retroactively return the money.
From Citizens we believe that there should not be affected to initiate legal action to reclaim what has taken them improperly and should be the local administration which represents and defends to correct the mistake made by the Regional Directorate of Land Registry.
