01/02/2010
In 2010, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (PAB) will freeze five of the seven taxes it collects from the ports of general interest it manages in the Balearic archipelago and implement a reduction in the other two, as a measure to help alleviate the economic recession.
This action is taken in compliance with Law 26/2009 of 23 December, the General State Budget for 2010 and Law 48/2003 of 26 November, the economic regimen and the provision of general services of the major ports.
Specifically, quotas will be maintained for fees for special usage of port facilities B1, B2, B3 and B5, which refer to ships, passengers, cargo and pleasure boats, and the rate of maritime signalling services, B0.
In addition, during 2010 there will be a reduction of 0.7% on the fee for special usage of the public domain in the exercise of commercial, industrial and services and of 0.6% on the fee for private occupation of the public domain of the port.
