Also, stay on the bus pass subsidies and transportation for students, seniors and families.

This policy, according to the council of finance, is a major effort to the local economy.

The City employed about 1,200,000 euros to subsidize these tickets, which will be a good investment in household savings in traffic and environment.

It also has environmental objectives of the tax subsidy for hybrid vehicles and hybrid vehicles.

Thus, this tax does not rise for anyone, but also for those who use more environmentally friendly cars, the tax will be reduced.

On the other hand, the water bill grows by 1.4% above the CPI, or whatever it is, 70 cents for a receipt means.

In return, there will be exemptions for pensioners, who pay nothing for consumption below 11 cubic meters (the limit last year was 9 cubic meters).

This will mean that the number of big winners with a free stretch of water increase by 30%, from 1,840 to 2,370, ie A minimum of 530 retirees who benefit from the free section.

Finally, José Cabezas He notes that other measures proposed by the government is to increase the rebate on Property Tax for large families.

Thus, large families whose house is above the assessed value expressed not receive the tax subsidy, and those with incomes above that amount paid only 30% of the grant.

In all other cases, the subsidy is 90% for Special Category Large families and 60% for general category.
