The Council Chamber of the Vacarisses Town Hall hosted an extraordinary session yesterday where the fiscal ordinances for 2027 were debated and approved. As explained by the Councillor for Finance, Paola Moral Ramírez, the main decision was not to increase the current taxes.
The primary novelty in municipal taxation for the upcoming year stems from the delegation of the water supply service management to the company Giacsa. This change involves modifying the tax figure, shifting from a fee to a patrimonial contribution. However, this regulatory change does not entail any alteration in the amounts citizens will have to pay.
The remaining variations introduced in the fiscal ordinances are mainly due to regulatory adjustments in those taxes managed by the Barcelona Provincial Council. Additionally, wording changes have been incorporated to make the explanations more comprehensible and accessible to all residents.
“"One of the reasons is the rising inflation, with increases in electricity, fuel, and others. We understand that, in this way, we can help families have a better time next year."
During the vote, the municipal group La Voz de Vacarisses cast a vote against the proposal, while UIPV-Junts, the PSC, and Vox opted for abstention. The main argument for abstention was a lack of understanding regarding the change in criteria concerning the CPI. Unlike the previous year, the price index has not been considered for cost regularization. The Mayor of Vacarisses, Antoni Masana Ubach, justified this decision by arguing that, given the current inflation and the increase in costs for utilities such as electricity and fuel, the aim is to offer relief to families for the coming year.
