Tomorrow, La Laguna City Council completes its full integration into the Tenerife Tax Consortium, with the opening of a public service office at number 54 San Agustín Street. In this way, the City Council adopts a new model of executive collection (that is, collection not paid within the established deadlines) that simplifies procedures, speeds up the resolution of files and, ultimately, improves the administration’s relations with the taxpayer.
