Spanish Stealth Taxes? (IBI through the roof)
A recent article suggests that the IBI (simialr to council tax) has sky-rocketed in some areas. This ARTICLE on Round Town News reports on Monte Pego... this says that the price increase was done centrally in Madrid - if I understand it right. It's complicated by plot sizes but still a +/- 400% rise !!!
I was wondering if anyone else knows much or has experienced massive hikes in IBI. Is it a worrying trend ?

True, the Gov has lost a great deal of money over the last couple of years but they do seem to be hammering people who are already struggling......maybe ways of cutting back on spending would be better.......wasn´t it the shoe man or one of his party who bought himself a new Audi A8 last year....can´t understand what was wrong with his old one!
