The Administration of Local Public Revenues of the Municipality of Budva issued a decision on the securing of a tax claim by which the Budva cadastre is requested to register a mortgage and thereby block the property of the former mayor Marko Bata Carevica, because he owes 7.970 euros in real estate tax.
As it is written in the solution, which "Vijesti" had access to, a mortgage on a one-story family house, as well as a five-story house in Budva Polje, will be registered in the name of the debt, and in the name of the debt for the real estate tax from 2021 and 2022 for the property that the former the first man of Budva has in the neighborhoods behind the gas station, Blokarici and Dubovica lux.
"The Administration of Local Public Revenues of the Municipality of Budva, acting on the official duty of undertaking the security of the tax claim of the taxpayer Marko Carević, issues a decision on the mortgage," the decision reads.
As stated, it is a debt in the name of real estate tax in the amount of 7.292,87 euros, as well as interest in the amount of 668,08 euros.
"Since the taxpayer did not act in accordance with the law, the conditions for securing the tax claim through a pledge or mortgage in accordance with Article 60 of the Law on Tax Administration, and in connection with the Law on Property-Legal Relations, the registration of which will be carried out on immovable properties that are owned by Marko Carević", the decision states.
The local public revenue administration ordered the Budva cadastre to register a mortgage on the five-story family house of the Tsarevićs, as well as a one-story house in Budva Polje.
"The mortgage begins immediately upon delivery of this decision, and lasts until the tax debt is settled, the decision is canceled or the mortgage-encumbered real estate is sold," the decision states.
"Vijesti" previously announced that in March 2022, Tsarević requested the Urban Planning Secretariat to legalize a part of the five-story building for which he did not have a building permit.
As written in the request, which "Vijesti" had access to, Tsarević indicated that he has a construction permit for part of the residential building, and that he pays taxes for it. Upon inspection of the real estate deed, the five-story building was registered with the charge that the basement, third, fourth floor and attic were built without approval, which is a total of 380 square meters.
According to the cadastral records, there is a business space of 120 square meters in the basement, and residential spaces of 68 and 42 square meters each, as well as non-residential spaces of 13 square meters, on the third and fourth floors. In the attic, which also does not have a permit, is a living space of 56 square meters.
The Public Revenue Administration issued a dozen decisions during January, requesting that tax debtors (natural persons), half of whom are foreign citizens, register mortgages on property due to tax debt until the claims are settled.
Tax collection is a key inflow for filling the city coffers, which the Administration of Local Public Revenues year after year, exceeding the collection of 20 million euros, provides financial stability to the local administration.
There is almost no year that the municipal administration does not carry out positive budget rebalancing due to exceeded plans in tax collection.
