HIBAPRESS – Fez
A municipal member in the Ain Chegg commune, Mani Ben Cheikh, via his Facebook page, raised the issue of exempting some lands from the tax on undeveloped urban lands (TNB), questioning the impact of these exemptions on the commune's resources and revenues.
Mani Ben Cheikh raised questions about the cases in which this tax is not collected, especially for some lands located within the planning area, asking about the legal basis for exemption operations, and whether all cases adhere to the legally stipulated conditions and procedures.
The municipal member also raised the issue of revenues that can constitute an important resource for the commune, at a time when local authorities need to strengthen their own resources to finance their services and projects and respond to the needs of the population.
In this context, Ben Cheikh demanded clarifications on the criteria adopted in identifying exempted lands, and the legal documents and justifications relied upon for this, calling for verification of the status of uncollected taxes, and determining whether they actually fall within the cases of exemption recognized by law.
He also called, according to his post, for the intervention of the competent authorities to scrutinize this file, especially if the data shows cases where legally due taxes have not been collected, with the necessary legal consequences to be taken if any irregularity is proven.
The question posed by the municipal member Mani Ben Cheikh, directed to the presidency of the Ain Chegg commune, remains: What are the real reasons behind the non-collection of the tax on undeveloped urban lands in some cases? Are these legal exemptions based on clear provisions, or are there files that need review and scrutiny?
These questions, pending clarifications from the commune's presidency and the competent authorities, remain calls for transparency, clarification, and oversight, without prejudging any violation or responsibility, until the legal and financial documents and data related to the subject are verified, and we will return to the subject.
