In this Thursday's session, the Deliberative Council of Concordia unanimously approved the Tax Reform promoted by mayor Francisco Azcué, eliminating more than 300 municipal taxes, rights, and fees, which will allow for the easing of the local tax burden and incentivize investments, in addition to streamlining the relationship with taxpayers. “Merchants, residents in general, and those who wish to land in our city with projects that favor development and job creation will find a Municipality that has taken their side,” remarked the Municipal President.
Following joint work with institutions and technical teams of the Municipality of Concordia, at the end of September, mayor Francisco Azcué presented the Tax Reform project, fulfilling the commitment made during the electoral campaign and before commercial entities to simplify the city's fiscal framework to streamline the relationship of taxpayers with the municipal treasury, ease the local tax burden, and incentivize investments.
“When we made our government project available to the community, we committed to working towards an agile Municipal State that faces our taxpayers, promoting this reform whose main objective was to eliminate municipal taxes and rights that only served to discourage investment in our city,” recalled Azcué.
Following this Thursday's approval, “taxpayers, merchants, residents in general, and those who wish to land in our city with projects that favor development and job creation will find a Municipality that has taken their side.”
“The elimination of more than 300 municipal taxes benefits all sectors as it reduces and streamlines times, debureaucratizing the relationship of taxpayers with the Municipality, resulting in savings for all parties. We are convinced that this is the path: lowering the tax burden and generating benefits so that more and more people decide to invest in Concordia.”
Azcué also highlighted that “this is in line with what governor Rogelio Frigerio has proposed and instructed us, which has to do with supporting the private sector and lowering public spending. We will continue working in this way, always thinking of all the people of Concordia.”
Finally, the mayor thanked the work of the Deliberative Council in general and all the blocs in general, as “they knew how to understand and support this Tax Reform, which is not an achievement of those of us who have political responsibilities, but of the community that expects signals from its leaders.”
