New property tax in Wrocław, from 1 Feb? Tax on apartment's garage or parking space 50% !

A new tax of about 50% effectively??

Anyone tell me what that is all about, because when I move flats it'll probably be an extra expense I wasn't previously aware of.

Any info appreciated.

Lets be precise,ok?It's 50% INCREASE not 50 % tax.

The itemisation on the bill says property tax. The price of the space remains the same, but with the tax the price is now 50% more.

Let me explain it to you:-

Jan 2013
Space in the garage --- 50zl

Total due 50zl

Feb 2013

Space in the garage --- 50zl

Property tax --- 25zl

Total due 75zl
