A small French mountain village has a brilliant treasure chest, but hardly spends money. So residents do not pay anything anymore.

The Perthus, that is to say the village where this money taking takes place. This small village (586 inhabitants) is located in the Pyrenees and borders neighboring Spain. Every year, thousands of Frenchmen park their car at Perthus, to go to Spain on foot, where it is much cheaper. Thus, the mayor gets more than 784 000 euros each year with his parking meters.

Well, this money tree is growing steadily. In addition, there remains 1.1 million euros in cash for "if the washing machine breaks down". Or in the administrative language: if there is a gulf on the way, local firefighters want a new bus, or billiards must be painted.

But this billiard does not need to be painted.

Yes, there must be a new playground, and a library, and medical facilities, but the mayor and council do not agree. And as in a decent democracy, the city council blocks all the plans of the citizen father, leaving the village rich and bored at home.

The Regional Court has now decided that the inhabitants of Perthus – as children of divorced parents – get a present. The amount of 358,000 euros that they would jointly pay to the local taxes is abolished

In the official language: "We conclude that the local taxation should be reduced to zero for the municipal tax and property taxes, because the contributions from citizens provide a counterpart must have.As there is no expense made, this consideration is not there. "

Well, the population can now make happy shopping in France to new.
