Police say firm bought property from Mijas council at 15 times below market rate

:: IVÁN GELIBTER MIJAS. A Guardia Civil judicial report has claimed that Mijas coun- cil sold off property at auction at prices significantly below market rates between 2011 and 2015. The study puts further pressure on ex-mayor of Mijas, Ángel No- zal, and the municipality’s treas- urer, who are under investigation for their role in the so-called ‘ex- press auction’ scandal. During this period, Mijas was supposedly selling off properties that it had gained control of, after owners did not pay taxes. Allega- tions suggest that instead of sell- ing them off at real market or even rateable value, officials allowed the property to go quickly at sig- nificant discounts, thereby break- ing strict rules. ::A.C.

Bank of Spain admits real wages may decrease in 2017 due to inflation

:: DAVID VALERA MADRID. In economic-forecast- data released this week by the Bank of Spain, officials admitted that salaries in Spain this year were un- likely to keep pace with inflation and urged companies not to react to recent higher inflation figures by increasing wages. Inflation rose to 3 per cent at the start of 2017, however the bank ex- pects this to fall back to an average of 2.2 per cent over the year. If wage settlements are restrained, this should decrease to 1.6 per cent per year by 2019, officials said. The fore- cast report also increased projec- tions for Spain’s economic growth upwards to 2.8 per cent year on year.

Period to complete annual tax return starts with usual fanfare

:: DAVID VALERA MADRID. Wednesday this week marked the day from which people in Spain can start to fill in their tax returns for 2016. With a flurry of pub- licity, the key dates for the tax-form- completion process were announced. From 5 April, a tax return can be completed online, but if someone prefers to go in person to hand in a declaration, appointments can be made from 11 May. All forms must be completed and submitted by 30 June. Many people with lower in- comes or incomes from just one source are exempt from the form as usual. The well-known PADRE com- puter programme to calculate re- turns has been retired and the new ‘Renta Web’ online platform must now be used.
