Maneuver, narrow on Quota 100, the hypothesis for the stop on plastic and car

From the plastic tax to the levy on company cars, through contracts. On the taxes included in the maneuver the government prepares a series of backward marches. Whether partial or total, the turnarounds have already alerted the Treasury with the need to find alternative financial cover to the taxes that will be canceled or softened.

The premier on the plastic tax: "We will reduce the impact". It is a dispute over the funds at the school
Spending cuts and reliefs to postpone: the hunt for new covers begins

The only plastic tax, the withdrawal of one euro per kilogram on the raw material used in the production of disposable containers, is worth approximately 1.8 billion euros at full operation. That is 150 million a month. Even if you postpone it for three months from April to July, it would cost 450 million.

Reducing the levy to 40 cents a kilogram, another hypothesis under consideration, would entail a shortage of resources of about one billion. The same applies to the tax on company cars. To cancel it altogether would cost 300 million euros. Applying it only to new contracts, those signed from 2020 onwards, would have essentially the same effect. The reverse charge in procurement, the mechanism by which the contractor should pay the contributions of the employees also of the subcontractors, has an expected revenue of 500 million. The Minister of the Economy, Roberto Gualtieri, has promised entrepreneurs that the rule will be reviewed, but even in this case the hunt for roofs has just begun.

MONEY
Where will the money needed to cancel the maneuver fees come from? The hypothesis of a return to Quota 100, the 63-year early retirement with 38 contributions introduced in last year's budget law, has returned to the table. The intervention could be of "screwdriver". The hypothesis, in short, would be to retouch only the exit windows and do it for 2021, the last year in which the measure would be in force. In fact, for private employees the waiting time between the maturation of the requirements and the actual exit would go from three to six months, or the one already provided for the public who in turn could see an extension of the deadlines.In this way some hundreds of millions could be recovered. Gualtieri would have invited the majority parties to indicate covers for each change they intend to submit to the maneuver. A work on which, for example, Italia Viva by Matteo Renzi is particularly forward. The technicians close to the former prime minister have put a slip on the three-month tax wedge that would save over 1.2 billion euros. Just enough to postpone the introduction of the most divisive taxes for at least one year.

By 2021 the Renzians have also proposed to lower the "dowry" provided for the so-called cashback mechanism, the monthly repayment of a portion of the expense paid by debit or credit cards. Also in this case the idea would be to save between 700 million and one billion to avoid having to introduce new taxes. While if we wanted to go back to the list of harmful environmental subsidies, an increase in excise taxes on diesel could be considered. Another option you are working on is some extension of the web tax, to get more revenue from it. On the maneuver yesterday came a new "negative judgment" from Confindustria, through the words of President Boccia. The various measures that affect businesses are the target. Meanwhile the hearings on the tax decree continue in the Chamber. Yesterday it was the turn of the Director of the Inland Revenue, Antonino Maggiore, who focused on some of the measures of the anti-evasion package, starting from the tightening on undue compensations defined as "appropriate" following the increase in fraud. On the first novelty, which can lengthen the time in which tax payers can receive their credit, Maggiore pointed out that «as early as May it is possible to transmit tax returns and therefore it will be possible to use in compensation, starting from June, credits relating to direct taxes ".

From the Privacy Guarantor, through a memo presented in the Finance Committee, there were instead serious doubts about the possibility (always provided for in the decree) of acquiring electronic invoice files: their archiving would allow to acquire data not relevant for tax purposes but related for example to health or to criminal proceedings in progress.
