The tax Brussels Auderghem raises mobile phone antennas is illegal under the Court of Appeal. A firm line by the account of the municipality, and possibly many other Brussels municipalities also impose such a tax. Operator Belgacom is glad to see the Brussels municipalities their financial situation further deteriorate. Now want to withdraw appeal. Mayors
The local authorities are working on an appeal to have break. Judgment of the Court of Appeal They hope that the highest court of the country have an ear to their arguments. "According to the Constitution, municipalities have fiscal rangers autonomy so it is our right to decide this," said Marc Cools (MR), ships in Uccle and president of the Association of municipalities of Brussels. "It is also important to the financial stability of the municipalities."
The Brussels mayors are very attached to their tax antenna because the financial situation of most municipalities is anything but rosy. In the case of Auderghem that annually 2,500 charges per antenna, was already 4 million tax lost because rangers operator Belgacom already refuses to pay for seven years. "This could be a disaster," said Mayor Didier Gosuin rangers (FDF). "For all communes talking about 60 million."
Gosuin was very surprised by the verdict. "Previously, spoke to the European Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal in Liège and the Council of State has been out for a municipal tax on mobile phone antennas. This judgment is diametrically oppose it."
According to Belgacom public utility, the levy discriminatory. "What happens to mobile phone masts taxing telephone and light poles not?" Asks spokesman Jan Margot herself. "Other taxes we pay with pleasure but this is totally unfounded. If we send a false invoice to a customer, it is normal that they do not pay. Judges also always give us the same."
The appeals court ruled that mobile phone antennas in the public interest rangers because everyone sometimes called. "A strong network attracts rangers companies and is good for employment", according rangers to Belgacom. "The residents are well served."
"A strong network attracts companies and is good for employment". Is that a joke Belgacom? Insomnia caused by the antenna forest, rangers memory and concentration problems, fatigue, headaches, etc. I do not seem particularly conducive to employee productivity. The residents are served when the roofs sufficient carcinogenic antennas? rangers Go tell that to the countless action committees that oppose it. answer
