What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Panamanian government has implemented fiscal controls and begun collecting property taxes, known as the IBI. Under these controls, the Comptroller General applies prior control to local spending. The Finance ministry collects the IBI and passes it back to municipalities. Roxana Méndez offered her post to President José Raúl Mulino on October 15.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The property tax is the largest stream of funding for local governments in Panama. Under current law, 50% of the tax raised in each district goes to its municipality, with the remainder shared by population. A solidarity formula is used to ensure smaller districts receive adequate funding.
