On Thursday afternoon, Mayor Francisco Azcué and Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza led a meeting with representatives of various intermediate institutions of the city with the objective of beginning to work on the review of the Municipal taxes.
Different commissions were formed that will hold meetings to study current regulations and evaluate possible modifications, simplifications, or eliminations.
In this regard, Mayor Francisco Azcué stated that this has to do with a decision that has been made by the administration, which is to work jointly with the intermediate institutions of the city, whom he thanked for having responded to the call.
“Both in Concordia, as the Provincial Government has also stated, we have established guidelines that aim at efficiency, transparency, and simplification of tax matters. We want an agile State that makes things easy for taxpayers, easing the pressure on citizens and the private sector. Our city has enormous productive potential but also needs an instrument and a regulatory framework that allows us to move in that direction,” affirmed the Mayor.
COMMISSIONS
For her part, Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza indicated that the commissions will work particularly on the General Real Estate Tax (TGI), the Commercial Tax (TC), the Sanitary Services Tax (TSS), and a fourth one, which would encompass the other municipal taxes, such as public lighting, for example. In each of them, there will be representation from the Executive Branch, the Deliberative Council, and the summoned institutions.
Regarding the General Real Estate Tax, she stated that the Concordia Real Estate Brokers Association, the Council of Economic Sciences Professionals, and the Association for the Development of Concordia (ASODECO) will participate in said commission.
Regarding the commission that will work on the Commercial Tax, Reta de Urquiza pointed out that it will include the Center for Commerce, Industry and Services; the Council of Economic Sciences Professionals, and other institutions that wish to join.
A third commission will be in charge of studying the Sanitary Services Tax, with the participation of intermediate institutions in addition to the Decentralized Sanitary Works Entity.
In the fourth commission, the proposal is to work jointly on the remaining Municipal taxes, such as public lighting, for example.
“There is a lot of work ahead, which will take time because each municipal tax has its specifications and the objective is to study them and evaluate possible eliminations or simplifications, which is why it is important that it be done jointly between the Executive Branch, the Deliberative Council, and the various institutions that were summoned,” pointed out Reta de Urquiza.
Present were Chief of Cabinet Eduardo Caminal; Director of Revenue Fernando Marsicano; EDOS Comptroller Javier del Cerro; Jorge Villalta and Oscar García for the Center for Commerce, Industry and Services; Javier Núñez Souza and Mariel Caballero from the Council of Economic Sciences Professionals; Maximiliano Scharn, from the Real Estate Brokers Association; Miguel Affranchino, for ASODECO, and council members Eliana Lagraña, Emmanuel Godoy, Verónica del Boca, Claudia Villalba, Guillermo Satalía Méndez, and Yaiza Pessolani.
