IBA tax

Has any one had this bill yet? If so how much for a 2 bed in jardins and how do I pay it?

Paid my IBI via my solicitor and the bill was €78 for five months (July to Dec).  You can do it yourself at the town hall, that's if you have the time.  My solicitor set up a direct debit for me.

Mazarron council invoice each june/july for bill to be paid by october. you can pay the bill at any major bank. For our villa in Camposol we paid €140 last year but this year expect a substancial increase.

I assume that Alhama will send the invoice to your postal address in CDA. No rush as you don't need t pay until october

Hi

Just for information where required, we were out recently and went to Alhama de Murcia to pay our tax.  The office opens from 9am to 2pm and you need to take passports, copy of deeds, bank details (for direct debit of future payments).  We paid 78 euros approx for both of us and they gave us a sheet of stamped paper to present at the bank across the road which is Caja Murcia.  Unfortunately no-one at the bank spoke English so it was awkward but eventually we were able to arrange for our direct debit instruction to be sent to our branch in Torre Pacheco.  So hopefully it will all be autormatic from now on and is payable in June each year.

The non resident tax was also due but we paid our solicitor to sort this out for us as it was more complicated as the notary is involved.  It was only 36 euros but 114 euros payable to the solicitor to process the payment on our behalf.  That was from Nov-Dec last year and is also an annual payment.

 We made enquiries about the post box keys but this is being sorted out with the local post office and council so should be agreed later. 

The community fees are payable this week as well, so everyone needs to arrange for the property management company to take this out by direct debit.  Once all the legalities and payments are sorted we can relax and enjoy it. !!

Hope this info is useful to somebody.

We went to the Town Hall on Monday this week with all our documents in hand to pay our Council Tax.

We were told by a guy on the desk that we should wait until the letter is sent to our appartment then pay. He said not to expect one this year but they would charge us for the right amount in next years.

When I queried this he said the council knew which appartments had been sold as a occupancy certificate (In your owners pack from Cust services) had been issued and not to worry about it.

The office to pay is in the far left  corner of  Plaza Los Americanos . Go past cafe near Town Hall turn right and a the left when you see the square with trees and on the floor flags of the American countries Go past 2 cafes on left and offfice near end on left. I picked up forms you can fill in and fax . Will aee if  can scan and I will ask Phil if he can put it in EOS

I would encourage you to also get empadron done, When 2000 people are on then Polaris will start the Police Ambulance facilities etc  bring passport NIE certs copy of deeds  and occupation licence , go to office under Town hall near Police office no later than 9.30am get ticket (like in Supermarket) and return just before 10am  They do not seak English . You are given a slip to take to Bank to pay 10 euros. If you are planning to bring a car over and will change to Spanish plates do not get empadron it will cost you 000.s in tax on car.

We appointed our solicitor as our fiscal representative

Bank account has been debited 2 x €37.40 under 'AYUNTAMIENTO DE ALHAMA DE MURCIA' which I assume is the local council tax although I havent received any correspondence yet

How much did he quote for fiscal representation?  Ours is quoting 100 Euros each + VAT which seems a lot?

Thanks.

Lindsey

Hi Lindsay

I cant quite remember as we agreed to pay the fee at the same time as completing so it was included in his total costs. €100 each sounds familiar

I thought we would pay it for the first year whilst we found our feet and then see how easy or otherwise it would be to manage things ourselves. A lot of the tax payments seem to involve a lot of running about between council offices/notary/banks etc which might be quite exciting the first few times but I would prefer to be sun bathing on the terrace !

Thanks for that, I agree re Sun Terrace, wish we were there now!
