Re: Impost bens Immobles Urbana tax invoices

Following a meeting I had with BASE yesterday. If anyone has received one of the above invoices, either for this year or previous years, I would be grateful if you could get in touch with me either by email at laacademia@hotmail.co.uk or by telephone on 65246769.

The purpose of this is to discuss the implications of this tax, as if you have received one of these invoices it means that you have a legal house, but the ajuntament must supply certain services to these houses, which at present we are not getting, also these invoices are for larger amounts that the houses in the village of similar sizes. BASE state that is is not just to charge these amounts, but it is down to the local ajuntament and must be taken up with them, as they have a legal obligation to us, if they are going to tax us at these rates.

The plan is to meet to discuss this, and then take our requests to the Mayor. I have secured a Catalan national of the same political party as the mayor in Freginals to act as our spokesperson at this meeting.

This is in everyone's interest and I urge you to get in touch with me. Anyone who has not received these invoices is also welcome to join us.

Many thanks
Sue

Bogus gas men

I have just picked this up on Tortosa forum and though it was worth placing on here. At the moment there are bogus gas men working in the area, who will ask to check your gas supply and contracts. They are using fake ID's which look genuine. They will then cut your pipes and charge 150 euros to re-connect them.

Do not be taken in by them, you have the right to refuse access to anyone on your property,

Just use the following phrase: Marxi de la meva propietat ara, o i anomenarà la policia
(Leave my property now, or I will call the Police)
