Xmas Church Events

The below two Xmas events, which are very popular, are published here for your information.

Spanish Classes

Following a number of requests we are to start a new programme of Spanish Classes in January.

The course will be for 1 hour twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 0900 in the library in Zurgena and will last for just over 3 months when it will be reviewed.

The course will be of a conversational style and give a basic grounding in commonly used verbs and day to day scenarios.

If you wish to attend this class please let me have your names, NIEs and telephone numbers and I will confirm your places. 

PGOU Meeting

A date for your diaries. 

A meeting to explain the Urban Plan, agreed between the Junta de Andalucia and the Town Hall of Zurgena, will be held in the Renfe Building in La Alfoquia  at 6.0pm on Friday 11th January 2019.

Further details will published nearer the date.

Selling Houses Taxes & Cordoba Trip

Following a number of recent requests regarding the sales of properties I sought clarification of the taxes payable by the seller of a property and was told the following;

1. Plus Valia payable to the Town Halls This tax is calculated upon the increase in the value of the land upon which your property stands. It is calculated on the basis of a 3% increase annually from the date of purchase. For example if the value of your land at the time of purchase was €10,000 and that was 10 years ago, the increase in value is assessed to be €3,000 and the tax payable on that is 18% eg €540

2. Incremental Patrimonial This is a tax payable to the central government and is similar to Capital Gains Tax. This tax is calculated on the basis of the total profit of the sale of the property eg if you paid €100,000 for your house and land and sold it for €200,000 you would be taxed on the €100,000 at 19% which would total €19,000.

Hope this helps

There is, unexpectedly, a couple of seats now available on the Cordoba trip on 15th December (details posted on earlier bog). If anyone wishes to go please let me know asap.

Dipuradora Cucador Norte

Just a reminder regarding what can be sent to waste water in the area which is served by the dipuradora (treatment unit) below Cucador Norte.

No non-biodegradable items should be flushed down the system as these items, such as wet wipes, nappies etc clog up the machine and lead to it overflowing. It is also a less than simple task to clean the machine and leads to standing waste water in the open.

Xmas House Competition

The Town Hall is having another Xmas House Decoration competition.

Like last year the competing homes will be visited the 21st December with the winning home announced thereafter.

The prize is the ubiquitous Seron Ham.

Entries are to be notified to the Town Hall before the 20th December.
