Digital rights. Tax information is the latest addition to all the data currently available on Open Data BCN, the City Council’s open data service.

The new website is part of a move to open up data to the public, including tax information, traffic fines, property tax and economic activity taxes, guaranteeing people’s confidentiality and strengthening the municipal commitment to Act 19/2014, of 29 December, on transparency, access to public information and good governance.

The information relating to taxes and fines is the latest addition to the catalogue of information available on Open Data BCN, the City Council’s open data service, which currently has over 600 datasets on the local territory, population, city and services, administration and the economy, and business.
