Pontevedra Court Orders AP-9 Operator Audasa To Pay Full IBI To Valga After Tax Break Lapsed

The judgment validates Valga’s €59,284.40 claim for late 2023, with a further appeal still possible.

Overview

  • A March 2 ruling by the Administrative Chamber of the Tribunal de Instancia de Pontevedra dismissed Audasa’s challenge to Valga’s IBI liquidation.
  • The court found Audasa continued applying a 95% IBI bonification beyond its expiry on August 18, 2023, and stated the company knew the benefit had ended.
  • The validated amount covers the period from August 19 to December 31, 2023, requiring Audasa to pay the full property tax for that interval.
  • Valga’s mayor said his municipality was the only one to issue a 2023 liquidation demanding full payment and urged other AP-9 towns to follow suit.
  • The judgment specifies the Concello did not act retroactively, applying the legal framework already in force at the start of 2023, and reporting notes that higher-court appeal remains open.
