The offensive of the Tax Office is ready: "Via the timely checks"

There maneuver tassarola is almost upon us. Despite the continuous reversing of the executive on the new heavy taxes, the report accompanying the text in the Chamber is quite clear: there will come a blow on taxes of 5.5 billion more.

In fact, to pursue the goal of fighting black, the government is preparing to tighten taxpayer checks. A fiscal pressing that could actually touch the privacy rights of every single tax payer. The Privacy Guarantor has already stressed several times that the tax authorities are confiscating a series of "abnormal" data compared to the real needs of the tax authorities.

We must understand how this anti-black operation can conflict with the protection of privacy. In this regard, as mentioned, the guarantor was all too clear.
