In Faimes, taxes do not change, trash cans do

This Monday evening, it was the last session of the legislature, the last for nine councilors and aldermen who will no longer sit in the next mandate but the first for eight young elected officials of the municipal children’s council who took the oath. A busy evening, marked by unchanged taxes, except for waste collection and treatment.

Maintain cost-truth

If the IPP (personal tax) and the property withholding tax do not vary, at the respective rate of 8.8% (the maximum authorized) and an additional 2,600 centimes, the same is not true for household waste. “With 96% coverage of the cost-truth, Faimes achieves a good performance, as in Hesbaye in general, underlines Patrice Decelle, ADF opposition advisor and Intradel financial director. But increasing the services made available costs money. Sorting has a cost.”To stabilize the current cost of 96% in Faimes (the legal range is between 95% and 110%), there needs to be an increase of 5% on additional levies.”If we do not modify these taxes, the true cost would be 83%.”
