This is the result of the proposal made by the senator Jose Joaquin Peñarrubia Lorca through an amendment to the general state budget for next year.

In this regard, in 2016 an adjustment of the tax rate from 0.06 urban IBI (from 0.67 to 0.74, a figure that is still very small when you consider that the maximum set by law is the be held eleven).
The rustic IBI unchanged.
Lorca will continue with these measures, one of the municipalities with the lowest tax burden per inhabitant of the region, and the lowest when compared to cities of similar characteristics.
In this regard, the council recalled that the PSOE in 2004 approved the bill to rise 100% this year.
Fulgencio Gil explained that by 2016 the city council also reduces by 65% ​​the rate of restoration of water, subsidizes 50% the use of sports facilities to non-profit institutions and cut waste rates and other supplies in various corresponding to roads Granada, Eagles, Caravaca and Murcia areas.
Economy Councilman emphasized that the City will launch in 2016 a series of measures to stimulate economic recovery and offering concrete solutions, which are the result of direct contact with citizens and that will contribute effectively to encourage implementation of proposals of entrepreneurs, boost interventions in the historical district, as well as works aimed at the reconstruction and rehabilitation of buildings affected by the earthquakes of 2011. We are talking about the following:
1) For self-employed and SMEs: New IAE bonus for those who start any kind of business or business: 50% the first year and 30% the next four.
2) For the revival of the Old Town: 75% Bonus ICIO for construction, renovation, rehabilitation and upgrading of all types of property (homes, offices, commercial premises) in PEPRI area.
3) Extension of the system of exemptions and rebates for reconstruction and rehabilitation of buildings affected by earthquakes in the ICIO and rate (finalized this year).
The mayor of Finance explained that this is the major benefits of the implementation of the tax ordinance for 2016, whose main objectives to keep Lorca as one of the municipalities with the lowest tax burden across the region.
Thus it is ensured that Lorca will continue to enjoy all municipal services, parking cuts and reductions, while will consolidate the balance of municipal accounts, with so much effort on the part of society Lorca we have achieved by developing successive plans and austerity measures, saving and efficiency in spending.
Fulgencio Gil has also stressed that new tax ordinances ensure the financial viability of the City as well as the budgetary stability and sustainability of municipal accounts.
It is a question of responsibility, an exercise in economic rigor that has guided the actions of the Consistory since May 2007 and with which we have managed to get to the City Council that we are bankrupt.
The draft bylaws includes a number of measures that also involve a noticeable savings for Lorca as correcting category will enjoy some streets, especially in areas of roads in Granada, Eagles, Caravaca and old road to Murcia, where between 3rd and 5th categories where before 1st applied figures are set.
This adjustment involves significant reductions in the rate of garbage and other supplies.
In response to a question of social justice it is reduced by 65% ​​the fee for restoration of drinking water which applies Aguas de Lorca, standing out of the 82 € to 35 € as current fixed rate.
As a measure for the promotion of sports activities and the use of the network of municipal facilities for the purpose, a bonus of 50% of public money to non-profit entities is established.
The garbage fee and the seal of the car remain frozen.
+ Resources for social spending, + investment and new tax cuts.
Fulgencio Gil said that one of the most important issues to be included in the tax ordinance for 2016 is the elimination of the negative cash remaining, authentic inherited from previous administrations has been a strong deterrent to the City ballast that has been undermining its economic and financial health for years.
The deletion of this remnant is a historical landmark, and is included in the permanent struggle against this team of government debt and towards achieving a sound and balanced accounts.
This, together with the municipal debt reduction will allow free up more resources for social spending and investments, maintaining the average payment period to suppliers and lower taxes in future years.
Returns weighted by planning agreements "trap".
The main stumbling block remains the municipal accounts currently judicial sentences that require the council to pay back agreements called "trap".
It is anticipated amounts collected and spent by the previous municipal administration between 2005 and 2007. These sentences could eventually reach 16 million.
Already today, without anticipating possible new sentences, planned spending for 2016 by the Town over a million euros.
That amount could increase in succession to reach 16 million.
Another of the economic problems facing the city today are the payments by other court decisions under prior administrations, as is the case of expropriation for the construction of the headquarters of Urbanism in the former convent of La Merced (300,000 €) expropriations to build a park in Zarzadilla Totana (120,000 €) and the curious case that has appeared in San Diego (100,000 €), where a house was demolished without warning to their owners.
Personalized attention to claims.
Citizens who have filed claims with these tax ordinance receive a personalized document in which they are informed about the preparation of the same, pointing., Inter alia, that "the tax ordinance planned for next year are necessary to ensure the economic viability of the City, as indicated by the aforementioned report of the Comptroller and the Municipal Economic and Budget director. Above populism or political slogans, the Corporation's priority should be to ensure the provision of services it offers to the Consistory citizenship, without compromising its correct functioning without impairing the rights of the residents of Lorca.
Lorca City Council is now able to pay bills to suppliers optimally, not as in the past, and is working extensively to reduce the municipal debt bequeathed Corporations earlier, thanks to cost reduction plan that is running from 2010 and 2012 Adjustment Plan that promote reasoning in spending and eliminating wasteful spending.
We now have a more modern and efficient, able to efficiently manage municipal resources management.
But the budget forecasts for the year 2016 will be marked by the return of the amounts for convictions relating to planning agreements approved in 2005. It is a reality, as witnessed by the statements, which must be repaid economic developments which at that time they were given to the City of Lorca under signed agreements, and so we are forced judicial decisions.
Meeting these huge sums to revenue is impossible unless cease to provide some essential services to citizens, such as social support garbage collection, street lighting, street cleaning, or closure of sports facilities.
To meet the amounts that the municipal government spent in 2005 and now have to return the collection is necessary to increase temporarily.
You remember that thanks to the amendments tabled by the Popular Party in the Senate, the State Budget for 2016 again include a 50% reduction in property tax for the year 2016. Therefore, the increase in the tax rate will affect 43,973 Lorca owners only half, so we're talking about very small amounts, which will only be paid on a temporary basis and that will be eliminating the economic burden of the conventions trap that threatened to be dramatic for the coffers municipal and therefore for all Lorca.
The management of public money requires an exercise of responsibility and commitment, which must be above partisan interests.
The obligation of the City of Lorca is to ensure the services provided to citizens and bequeath to future generations a consistory under optimal economic conditions.
That is our commitment and we are working for Lorca tomorrow will not have to continue paying the debts that managers yesterday, in good economic times, bequeathed to them, and do it with courage and without fear to wear that it can to provoke.
The seriousness is above the populism and the seriousness is what prevails in the management of municipal accounts.
But we are aware of the effort that calls on citizens and therefore in future years we will refund the effort in spades.
As we remove the heavy burden that past governments have left us, we can reduce taxes paid Lorca, since we will have an efficient administration which costs less and less.
Therefore, to end the legacies of the past, not only we can reduce taxes, but also can increase the allocations for investment, posturing as a model of sound and fair local administration ".
