The Calpe government team will withdraw the point relating to the modification of the tax ordinance regulating the rate for household rubbish collection at the ordinary plenary session to be held tomorrow, Tuesday 10 September. This decision comes after detecting an error in the calculation of the fee.
‘We are going to withdraw the proposal from the agenda as it is null and void as there has been an arithmetical and material error in the calculation of the rate,’ said Mayoress Ana Sala.
The updating of the rubbish tax was to be carried out in accordance with the new state law on waste - in application of a European directive - and which requires that waste management in each town hall must not be loss-making, i.e. that the town halls must collect 100% of the cost of the service through the rubbish tax. A study phase will now start again to determine the new rate update.
