In this investigation, THĒMIS studies the diverse challenges that come up in fiscal decentralization in this country, showing off a legal perspective as well. It also brings a dynamic study of Property Taxes, concluding that it has a very decisive impact on public finance, and for that reason, the rate must be progressively modified and increased.
