Councilman Antonio Penalva, IU-Greens, is the signatory of a motion to be defended by ecosocialists councilors in regular plenary session for the month of January, which undoubtedly will be viewed favorably by many ciezanos conserving and often lovingly pamper their old vehicles.
The purpose of it is to get a change in the tax ordinance regulating Tax Fuel Vehicle Mechanics, popularly known as "Stamp Car" for vehicles with more than 25 years or which are classified as historic vehicles leave to pay.
As recalled spokesman municipal group Cieza IU-Greens, "the Law Regulating Local Tax allows these historic or antique vehicles may be subsidized in the municipal road tax up to 100 100 fee, the City Council currently applies this benefit in its maximum degree to motorcycles and mopeds, but only by 50 100 in the case of other types of motor vehicles. "
The ability to reclaim in full road tax to old or historical "vehicles is our current tax system since 1999, after being amended the Local Finance Law to conform to the guidelines in the art from the European Union and leaves the municipalities ample political decision when fiscal stimulus for the conservation of this type of car, like I said, our town has been, so far, halfway, and what claim is that the total bonus and applies to two-wheeled vehicles to all cars "spread.
To Penalva, justification is twofold.
On the one hand, "the old vehicles are witnessing different stages in the evolution of the city, we evoke their missing scenarios and help maintain the historical memory of what it was alive, so part of their cultural and historical heritage and are worthy of protection. "
Furthermore, "keep in good condition an old vehicle generates significant costs to its owner, so if we understand that conservation does not fulfill a mere private function but also a social function, it is reasonable compensation via tax" .
Therefore, the motion of IU-Greens proposes "an amendment to the ordinance regulating tax motor vehicles that includes the bonus 100 100 of the amount of tax for all motor vehicles that have completed a minimum of 25 years, counted from the date of manufacture or, if not known, such as the taking of their first registration or, failing that, the date on which the relevant type or variant was allowed to make.
