Households with a rateable value below the average, have a 8.5% increase in their receipts.

The councilman pointed out that the 30 December 2011 the Government adopted Royal Decree 20/2011 by which the council is forced to an increase in Property Tax, thus leaving without effect the agreement of the municipal council Pasao Yecla the November 7, 2011

In the aforementioned full proposal of the Team, approving the freezing of taxes and fees for the Year 2012, no not even apply the CPI.

For the IBI tax rate was lowered to freeze the amount of this tax.

As an almost universal tax for all the neighbors, our decision was to support family economies.

After making these inquiries, it was confirmed that this Royal Decree, abolishes the reduction in the tax rate, as it had approved the government team last November.

Alejandro Palao has indicated that "the central government has met with an economic crisis that has forced him to take these actions harsh and uncomfortable, and sometimes difficult to understand, but that should have been taken before. The previous Socialist government was characterized by not taking bold measures how are you, and some of those taken were slow, late, wrong and inefficient, if we see the results. "
