Mayor Francisco Azcué will present the municipal Tax Reform this afternoon at the Convention Center, fulfilling the commitment made during the electoral campaign and before commercial entities to simplify the city's fiscal framework in order to streamline the relationship between taxpayers and the municipal tax authority, alleviate the local tax burden, and incentivize investments.
Azcué assured that this afternoon's presentation “is a commitment we made to the people to simplify the tangle of municipal taxes and fees. For us, it is very important to keep our word,” he highlighted.
The mayor recalled that during the opening of the Deliberative Council sessions, he outlined the comprehensive reform of the Tax Ordinance as one of the objectives to work on this year because it is essential to “modernize and simplify the relationship with the Municipality for taxpayers, businesses, and those who wish to invest in Concordia.”
He especially thanked the participation of the institutions together with the Municipality's technical teams for the development of this project and recalled that at the time, the Center of Commerce and Industry had raised the need to continue advancing on the path of digitalization and simplification of commercial permits in order to speed up the granting process, and highlighted that this project, which will be submitted to the Council this week, goes in that direction.
Azcué highlighted that this project “will be very good for the city and will contribute to the Productive Development that we proposed during the electoral campaign when we spoke about working on the modification of the tangle of municipal taxes that hinders investment and causes a delay in the establishment of sources that generate genuine labor.”
He specified that it involves “the elimination of more than 300 municipal taxes, and this program that we are going to present will be beneficial for the residents of Concordia, for the private sector, and for the productive sector because it streamlines, reduces times, and debureaucratizes the relationship between taxpayers and the Municipality, resulting in savings for all parties.”
He recalled that “the July Pact proposes a new moral contract between political leadership and citizens and proposes transforming the relationship between the state and the citizenry, and this program undoubtedly advances in this direction.”
The Tax Reform will be presented this afternoon at 6:30 PM at the Concordia Convention Center in an event led by Mayor Francisco Azcué, accompanied by the Vice Mayor and President of the Deliberative Council, Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, the Coordinating Secretary of Cabinet and Treasury, Pablo Ferreyra, members of the Municipality's technical teams, and the institutions that participated in the development of the project.
