Complaints include an increase in the IUC for vehicles until 2007, which will have a maximum cap of 25 euros per year, but municipalities will see nothing since the amount exceeding the amount they will receive in 2023 will go into the budget. State.
“We consider these two measures unacceptable,” concluded Luisa Salgueiro in the parliamentary budget and finance committee.
