The fee will be applied in 70 municipalities with "high demand" for homes

Catalonia will follow the steps of Andalusia and punish the banks and realtors who accumulated empty homes. Artur Mas's government will not use the power to expropriate, but on Monday announced that it will impose a fee to try to mobilize nearly 450,000 empty houses which estimates are in the community and lower rents. The measure, however, is another self-amendment Convergence and Union to its economic policy, so far flatly rejected the stick and the carrot bet only to solve the citizens' access to housing.
The Minister of Planning and Sustainability, Santi Vila, was commissioned to report on the creation of the fee and the first to notice that this, to be included in the Act to Follow the Budget this year, will generate "controversy". I could check in a matter of hours. Mas himself had to qualify from Brussels that this tax is still under study and that in any case "usurp" the "right to property" recognized "constitutionally". "There is no final decision," he said.
The measure is not caught completely by surprise Catalan employers or banking. That tax was part of the battery of taxes that CiU ERC demanded to give their support during this term. However, real estate sources and employers agreed banking express bewilderment at what they saw another twist of CiU in its economic policy. But already tried to impose, at the request of ERC, a tax on bank deposits that the Government of Mariano Rajoy applied prevented.
The Catalan President says that the tax is still "under study"
The nationalist federation was not only the strongest critic of vacant homes rent forced the tripartite government in the last legislature passed without ever were to apply. So was any measure that does not go through the "reconciliation" and "incentives", as stated in the various sales arguments that CiU developed at that time. The spokesman then training in the regional parliament, Oriol Pujol, came accuse government of José Montilla to approve "a measure ideological" and appealed to the Constitution to claim the right to private property.
One of the first measures taken by the Government CiU arriving in 2011 was forced prevent empty homes rent may apply. Omnibus By law, a special counter of CiU to remove the two tripartite legislation, abolished the controversial article 42.6 of the Law on Housing Rights. The rule also eliminated inspections for the number of homes that were unoccupied. Therefore, industry sources on Monday wondered what instrument would now employ Executive Mas to detect that bag of empty flats.
When Omnibus Act was passed, however, had parked sovereignism But to embrace the liberal hand of the PP, which facilitated the adoption of the Budget. Now the president must face his umpteenth austerity, with cuts that will least 1,800 million euros and that in the worst case could reach 4,400 million. Therefore, all the directors are trying to scrape new settings, through more spending cuts or new fees, as explained Catalan government sources. And besides, CiU should continue its nods to ERC after the Republicans have flirted with the idea of not supporting the budget for not taking cuts wear. This possibility of spending the year with extended accounts or contemplated by the Government.
Only ERC applauds as unqualified and claimed authorship
Although the Executive of Mas spent months working on the budget, taking into account several potential targets of deficit-, on Monday from the Department of Planning and Sustainability barely knew details about the tribute. The Catalan government insisted that the rate will only apply to legal persons, and in particular any circumstance. But besides banks and real estate, did not specify whether investors would also affect or even bad bank, which has engulfed eg CatalunyaCaixa foreclosed homes.
The Minister Santi Vila explained that the Government has located some 70 municipalities in which there is an "accredited demand" and in which, however, are piled unsold flats. In these locations, as Vila, is where the tax is applied, which will be subsidized if they then exit the rental market. Not materialize, however, and the rate of duty or expected revenue.
Vila justified when Catalonia rate "can not afford" to have thousands of families evicted and empty housing stock. However, this measure only ERC applauded and claimed responsibility. Moreover, Republicans spokeswoman, Anna Simó, announced that the rate will be determined by the assessed value of the home and push for its formation is high enough to "provoke a deterrent effect" on banks and real estate.
The PSC, however, considered as "positive but insufficient" by not addressing evictions, while the Catalan PP branded as "absolutely inconvenient." ICV-EUiA, which prompted the controversial housing law tripartite CiU accused of "cynicism", but was opened to support the new rate.
