The Xunta expects that on January 1st it will be “ready” for municipalities that wish to do so to implement the measure in their territory.
Regional regulations which will allow municipalities which wish to do so to do so applying a tourist tax will be “ready on January 1st”, if the Xunta’s forecasts come true, as confirmed this Friday by the director of the Tourism Agency, Xosé Merelles. That day, he met with the mayor of Santiago Goretti Sanmartín, who expressed his satisfaction with the Xunta’s “change of opinion”; a position, that of carrying out this new optional tax, which Alfonso Rueda had already put forward a few days before, provided that two conditions are met: that the resources are allocated to the tourism sector and that the method of collection is negotiated with the sector.
The proposal, Merelles and Ep reported, will be submitted to Parliament “so that this tax can be implemented as quickly as possible” and, as a condition, The management and collection of the tax must be “100% municipal”.
