Vilamarxant initially approves the tax ordinance for the economic activities tax

The Vilamarxant City Council has initially approved the tax ordinance regulating the tax on economic activities. The official announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia, number 194, corresponding to October 8, 2026, with reference 2026/12181 on page 5. The decision affects companies, self-employed workers, and professionals carrying out activities within the municipal district.

The tax on economic activities is a municipal tribute that taxes the exercise of business, professional, and artistic activities, such that the ordinance regulating it establishes its effective application in Vilamarxant. The initial approval constitutes the first milestone in the procedure for drafting a tax ordinance and opens the way for the text to enter into force once its processing is completed.

The announcement is inserted in the MUNICIPALITIES section of the provincial gazette, within the block of publications submitted by the Vilamarxant City Council, and shares the edition with other tax and regulatory agreements from Valencian councils.

An edition with several municipal tax ordinances

Alongside the announcement from Vilamarxant, number 194 of the gazette includes other municipal actions regarding ordinances and fees:

• Massalavés: initial approval of the tax ordinance regulating the tax on mechanically propelled vehicles (2026/12152).
• Massalavés: initial approval of the tax ordinance regulating the fee for the provision of the municipal swimming pool service (2026/12154).
• Chelva: initial approval of the ordinance regulating the fee for cemetery services (2026/12163).
• Bocairent: final approval of the ordinance regulating the non-tax public patrimonial provision of the drinking water supply, meter maintenance, and sewerage service (2026/12155).

Who is affected by the new ordinance

The ordinance refers to the tax that levies the exercise of economic activities in the municipality; therefore, its subjective scope includes companies, the self-employed, and professionals with activity in Vilamarxant. For this group, the initially approved text is the regulatory reference that governs the collection of the municipal tribute.

The published announcement reports the initial approval of the ordinance, without the gazette detailing the content of the articles or the quantitative elements of the tax in its summary. The available official information is therefore limited to the initial approval agreement and its publication in the provincial gazette.

Official publication and next steps

The announcement is identified by reference 2026/12181 and verification code BOPV-20261008-194, which allows the authenticity of the publication to be verified on the electronic office of the Provincial Council of Valencia. The initial approval is the procedure that precedes the final entry into force of the tax ordinance.

The publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia on October 8, 2026, provides official publicity to the agreement of the Vilamarxant City Council and places the file in the initial phase of its administrative processing.

The new economic activities tax ordinance of Vilamarxant directly affects the business and self-employed fabric of the municipality, which will see the tax regulation governing its municipal taxation updated. The announcement makes the initial approval a matter of monitoring for local companies, which must await the publication of the final text to determine its scope.
