Maneuver, the Court of Auditors dismantles the Giallorossi taxes

Confindustria, Abi, Alleanza Cooperative and above all the Court of Auditors. Today's hearings in the Senate on the text of the maneuver arrived in Parliament after the ok in the Council of Ministers reserve a rejection after the other to the government and the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri. In their report in front of the Budget and House Senate committees, the accounting judges are in the Giallorossi Financial Law "the lack of an organic framework", urging the government to proceed with a" severe "containment of expenditure."The choice adopted with the maneuver – writes the Court of Auditors – appears to confirm the objective of fiscal consolidation", focusing on" redistributive measures ", such as" the cancellation of the VAT clause, "capable of reducing the"tax burden, stimulate public investment and promote the conditions for more sustained growth".

Court of Auditors: "Maneuver without an organic framework"

An approach that the judges define as "acceptable", but highlighting "the lack of an organic framework of the measures "that the government intends to take, not allowing – the judges see -"to fully evaluate how it intends to intervene on the main ones critical issues of our economic and institutional system". If" the effort "to combat tax evasion and avoidance" is certainly important, "thanks to"recourse to instruments of spontaneous emergence of the tax bases", the Court of Auditors is concerned about the fact that" such measures "do not seem to be entering"in a more comprehensive reform process", capable of responding to" criteria of fairness and simplification of the system. "The health of the Italian economy, in short, is not optimal.

"Fundamental to contain public spending"

That's why, for accounting judges, "a strict path of containment and redevelopment of the expense remains indispensable". Hence the need to" make a careful selection "of the activities" to be financed and abandoned "in order to free up resources for the reduction of the tax and "debt". Returning to the issue of tax evasion and avoidance, the Court of Auditors says it is optimistic about the "limitation of the use of cash"as a tool for the" reduction of such phenomena ", although not constituting" the definitive "solution. Positive, therefore,"the adoption of incentive forms to promote the dissemination of payments electronic". To the government, in order to make the fight against evasion and avoidance more effective, the Court of Auditors also proposes to" extend the obligation of electronic payment for "real estate lease payments or the payment of emoluments to family employees".

Failed taxes on company cars and packaging

Even the possible ones damage to companies at the center of the reflections of the accounting magistrates. Which first criticize – "even understanding it" – the return to the regime Ace (Aid for economic growth), considering it an example of "frequent changes in the" tax law with which it negatively affects "on decision-making processes of company administrators". And then, again with regard to businesses, they dismantle the fee on car business. "The purpose of the standard, aimed at favoring the spread of electric or hybrid cars, could be strongly conditioned by the limits that currently characterize the offer of vehicles with the characteristics considered, increasing the merely tributary effects of the provision".

Slash without appeal also the plastic tax, with respect to which "the significant financial impact of the provision as early as 2020 – 1,079.5 million euros – and the consequent foreseeable effects on the national production and distribution system must be borne in mind;". A harsh criticism of the tax on packaging, such as that expressed a little earlier by Confindustria: "Useless and harmful tax, with an impact on household spending estimated at around € 109 per year", the esteem of the CEO of Viale dell'Astronomia, Marcella Panucci.

Forza Italia: "The Court of Auditors with us"

More shadows than lights, in short, in the report of the Court of Auditors. Which, for the vice president of the group Forza Italia in the Senate, Licia Ronzulli, "it crushes the maneuver and in general the policy of a government that, having the only glue what keeps it firmly in place, never agrees on anything"forced therefore"to postpone the actual definition of any newly drafted decision to subsequent provisions". Just as observed by the accounting judges. According to which Italy can no longer make a living.
