Municipal taxation and other topics

Description

These problems mainly arise from the exercise of their economic activities but also, to a large extent, from the inadequate supervision regarding the regulatory acts issued by them. It also makes recommendations destined to simplify the regulatory framework, strengthen the control of legality carried out by the supervisory bodies, ensure sound and transparent financial management and improve the relations between municipalities and citizens.
