The Councillor for Finance, Rosana Bravo, highlighted the fiscal policy of the Fuengirola City Council, which has kept its taxes, fees, and public prices frozen since 2008. This measure, sustained for 18 years, aims to alleviate the tax burden on Fuengirola families despite the general increase in the cost of living.
Bravo emphasized the council's "responsible" economic management, which has allowed it to maintain zero debt and low taxation in the region, while ensuring public services and investments. The City Council applies a 30% bonus on the IBI (property tax), the waste fee, and the vehicle tax for registered residents, with an additional 5% for prompt payment and another 5% for direct debit.
To implement these bonuses, a budget of 4.7 million euros has been allocated. Additionally, the City Council will absorb the increase resulting from the new waste fee established by state regulations, popularly known as the "waste tax," to prevent its cost from affecting family finances.
The councilor also mentioned other measures aimed at specific groups, such as large families and pensioners, adapting taxation to different citizen circumstances. Bravo stressed that the solidity of the municipal accounts is also due to the commitment of Fuengirola residents in fulfilling their tax obligations.
"Good management means administering public resources well, maintaining zero debt, helping families, and ensuring quality public services and investments. This is the Fuengirola model," concluded the councilor.
