The new provider payment plan will allow local authorities to charge before the outstanding debts of the regions
Miguel Angel House, Mayor of Murcia, stressed the "excellent compliance deficit target raised by the municipalities", while thanked the Finance Minister Cristobal Montoro, has recognized the efforts of local authorities, after the meeting held by the National Commission for Local Administration (CNAL).
This work has allowed us to close 2012 with a deficit of 0.15%, representing a reduction of half the initial target set at 0.30%.
Keep in mind that this balance has been obtained also in a few months of sharp decline in revenues in the municipal coffers.
House, who chairs the Committee on Local Finance Haciendas and Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, believes that this success will be reflected in greater benefits for citizens, which may receive "more and better services."
At the same time, the commitment shown by the municipalities contributes, in his opinion, to increase and strengthen the credibility of the country, since it has been shown that Spain has "serious government, orderly and efficient".
In this sense, the Mayor has referred to the next amendment of the Fiscal Stability Law to allow municipalities that have earned surpluses can allocate those funds to investment and running costs of an extraordinary nature.
House has also insisted on the new provider payment plan that will be launched before the summer and to foster the collection of outstanding obligations between public administrations, as requested by the local government.
Finally, the Mayor announced the creation of a working group to analyze the legislative changes that impact on local taxation.
