The objective of this measure is to verify that all companies obligated to pay this fee are doing so correctly and that the amounts collected correspond to their use of public spaces. The Councillor for Finance, Uxío Benítez, emphasized that the initiative seeks to defend municipal resources, as the funds raised contribute to the maintenance and improvement of services for residents.
This fee, known as the 1.5% tax, is calculated on the gross income of companies within the municipality and cannot be passed on to service users. The decision follows a municipal review of data from thirty companies covering 2026 and the previous four years, which revealed varying frequencies in declaration submissions, necessitating deeper verification.
According to Benítez, collaboration with ORAL provides specialized personnel to review data and identify any outstanding amounts, enabling the recovery of funds owed to the municipal treasury. This delegation will facilitate the identification of obligated companies, cross-referencing information, and processing relevant collections and reviews.
