The more than 44,000 affected by the 2011 earthquakes will save 7.2 million euros this year by paying only half of the IBI (24/05/2018)

The Lorca whose homes were harmed by the catastrophe have saved almost 80 million euros thanks to the work of the City to get and keep the bonus of this tax over these years.

The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that Lorca whose homes were damaged or demolished by the earthquakes of 2011 will only pay this year half of the Real Property Tax (IBI), thanks to the approval by the Congress of the Deputies of the General Budgets of the State.

This measure directly benefits almost 44,000 Lorca, constituting the eighth consecutive year in which a bonus is achieved in this regard.

We are talking about leaving in the pocket of Lorca 7,263,678.66 euros, which Lorca will receive from the Government of Spain as compensation, as is already happening in recent years.

This request is supported by reports and notifications from the Local Tax Agency, as well as from the Cadastre and Municipal Intervention service.

The First Edil explained that the efforts made by the City Council have achieved that the victims of the earthquakes in 2011 have been saved up to now almost 72 million euros, enjoying 3 years of total exemption from tax payment and another 5 (including the current one) in which only half of it has to be paid.

The Mayor recalled that the City Council got this year for the first time that the draft General State Budgets included the maintenance of the bonus of 50% of the IBI, in addition to a new agreement with the Government of Spain that will allow to continue making investments in our municipality.

We are talking about an agreement that entails the arrival of 3 million euros to execute new actions for improvement and modernization, which is added to the 3 million that have been allocated to works in districts, completed just a few months ago, and to the 800,000 euros that from the CARM they will be allocated to Lorca within the investments of the District Plan.

Fulgencio Gil explained this bonus of 50 percent of the Real Estate Tax quotas for the year 2018 is applied with the same requirements established for the exemption regulated in this Tax in Article 12 of Royal Decree Law 6/2011, of 13 May, which adopted urgent measures to repair the damage caused by earthquakes occurred on May 11, 2011 in our city. According to plan, the bonus is applied to the resulting fee to apply.

The decrease in income established in this provision in the Lorca City Council will be compensated by the General State Budgets, in accordance with the provisions of article 9 of the revised text of the Local Treasury Regulatory Law, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5.

In the case of the bonus on the Tax on the Increase in the Value of Urban Land, a 50% bonus is claimed that would be applied to the resulting installment, if applicable, for the rest of the bonuses legally provided for.

The Mayor asks the General Directorate of Cadastre for a reduction in the values ​​of the IBI that would entail a saving of 621,000 euros and would benefit all Lorca

The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that the City has already requested the General Directorate of Cadastre a new lowering of the values ​​of Real Estate Tax (IBI) that puts it within the average value of housing in the market.

It is a measure that would be effective for next year and that represents a saving of 621,000 euros for Lorca.

We must remember that this reduction of the IBI will be the second in just 3 years and adds to the bonus of 50% achieved by the City Council for those affected by the 2011 earthquakes.

The Mayor has anticipated that although the situation of the municipal coffers is still complicated, the efforts of optimization of spending and austerity that have been applied in the City Council over the past few years, are achieving a gradual improvement that allows us advance in the reduction of fiscal pressure.

In fact, Lorca is the city with the lowest fiscal pressure in our Region, and this without taking into account the 50% bonus of the IBI.

We must continue to deepen these tax reductions, which allow a generalized savings for all citizens.

Our goal is that the money is in the pockets of Lorca, who are the best know how to use it and contribute to economic stimulation, employment generation and improvement of social activity in general.
