In recent days, a town hall session was held in the Puerto Vallarta city hall in which the revenue law for the fiscal year 2023 was presented, which was approved by a majority.
In the law, the creation of a unique registry of pets is intended, which will have a cost of $75 “voluntary” pesos for each pet in possession.
Through the official Facebook page of the Puerto Vallarta City Council, the fact of charging for pet registration was denied, commenting that it is free and voluntary. However, some political actors and citizens of the municipality spoke out against this voluntary tax.
The councilor of Puerto Vallarta, Luis Munguía, took a position against these collection measures that the city council intends to impose.
“(…) in an insensitive way of collecting money, they intend to “voluntarily” charge citizens 75 pesos for each pet we have. And the rescuers? How much then would associations or people who have three or more pets have to pay? In what capacity or with what right do they try to “placate” the furry ones? Who advises the government in this matter?”, he wrote on his social networks.
Despite denying the intention of the charge by the city council, in a photograph published by the media outlet “Noticias PV”, you can see the text document where the charge of $75 is specified for the registration of pets.
According to the image, the computer belongs to the head of income, Gibrán Villaseñor Madrigal, so it would be a reliable source.
