Descuentos en la tarifa de basura para casas grandes, vulnerables y vacías.

The article discusses the reductions in the garbage tax for certain groups in Madrid, such as large families, vulnerable individuals, and owners of vacant or unused properties. These reductions must be requested before February 28, with vulnerable individuals receiving a 100% reduction. The spokesperson for the municipal council, Inma Sanz, announced these reductions during a press conference, highlighting the 100% reduction for vulnerable individuals.

Families with multiple children will receive reductions similar to those for the Property Tax, taking into account the property’s cadastral value and the family’s size. However, the reduction only applies if the taxpayer is the property owner. If the large family is a tenant or holds a large family title issued in another community, the reduction must be requested before March 1.

Properties that are vacant or not in use will only pay the basic rate, provided that the owners can prove this circumstance to apply for the reduction. Approximately 1.7 million property owners will be required to pay the new tax. However, they will not have to pay for garages, storage rooms associated with a property, as well as plots and buildings in a state of ruin.

Notifications regarding this new municipal tax will be sent out to property owners in the second half of the year. The Madrid Municipal Council has created a specific section on www.madrid.es for information on the tax and how to apply for discounts. Requests can also be made via phone at 010 or at the five taxpayer service offices.

In conclusion, Sanz reiterated that the Madrid Municipal Council was compelled by the Spanish government to impose this tax, despite being completely against it.
