Catalan Gallifa City Council Declares "Tax Rebellion"

Google translation: The mayor announced 'I paid the tax deduction in the tax agency Catalan'

It is the first municipality that has taken this step after citizens did individually

City Council Gallifa (Vallès Occidental) has declared Tuesday "tax rebellion", so that in addition to refusing to pay taxes for the State, the mayor announced that the money paid at the tax office Catalana, which depends of the Generalitat.: 
Gallifa Mayor, Jordi Fornas, who plays per Catalan Solidarity independence (SI), explained, speaking in the corridors of Parliament, that the "fiscal disobedience against the Spanish state is a logical consequence" of the fact that it fifteen days the town was declared "free sovereign territory."

"Uncharted waters"

For practical purposes, the statement of "insubordination" implies that money concepts such as income tax deductions for their workers leave to join the Spanish Tax Agency and, instead, is made in the tax office in Catalunya. The mayor has admitted that ignores the legal implications that may be the fact that his municipality is declared "tax rebellious" against the state. "We do not know what can happen, is entering uncharted waters."

Gallifa is a small town in the Vallès Occidental with more than 200 inhabitants. Solidarity with the majority in the council as to the claims of "free and sovereign territory" and "fiscal disobedience" have been approved unanimously.
Since his party, the General Secretary of SI, Uriel Bertran, praised the gesture Gallifa City Council and stressed that "for the first time is a Catalan institution declaring fiscal rebellious states that do not want to pay more taxes to the Spanish State ".

The money returns to the State

Solidarity has said he is aware that, in individual cases of several citizens, at the initiative of a couple of businessmen, do not enter the income tax to the tax office in the Catalan Spanish but so far the latter subsequently transferred the money to the first. So Bertran has urged the Government not to act the same way with the institutions declared "rebellious". Source
