Representatives of the Chilean Association of Municipalities met on Thursday with Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz and other Executive members to discuss the national reconstruction Megareforma.
The meeting focused on the property tax exemption for people over 65 in their first home. The government rejected the municipal proposal to target the benefit by income ranges.
AChM president Gustavo Alessandri stated that “with respect to targeting we did not do well”. He added they will continue dialogue with the Senate Finance Committee.
Maipú mayor Tomás Vodanovic said the Executive response was “total closure” on that point. The mayors will now seek agreements with senators to compensate resources from the Common Municipal Fund.
