Made the law, found the deception. The proverb also applies to State cashback, the six-monthly measure introduced by the Conte bis government within the broader Cashless plan to discourage the use of cash and combat tax evasion. We immediately saw the first “crafty”, who discovered ways to get the refund of 150 euros provided by the program and above all to climb the Super Cashback ranking, which every six months gives 1,500 euros to the 100,000 citizens who have used the most. forms of digital payment.
Cashback “cunning”: 62 operations from the gas station in less than an hour
It was reported by all the newspapers the partic[]olar case of Caraglio (Cuneo), where a customer checked into a self-service petrol station well 62 transactions with the ATM in just 55 minutes, for a total cost of 6,51 euro. The manager of the IP center alerted the local Carabinieri, who could not do anything.
In fact, the driver has not broken any law, and took advantage of a hole in the regulation of the State Cashback, for which there is no minimum amount of expense for transactions, so you are still entitled to receive 10% reimbursement up to a total of 150 euros. To do this, it is only necessary to carry out 50 transactions with the ATM, prepaid card, credit card and other forms of digital payment that participate in the program.
Cashback “cunning”: proposal from gas stations to limit operations
What happened in the Cuneo area was certainly not an isolated case. And for this Alessandro Zavalloni, national secretary of Fegica Cisl, the trade union signature that protects petrol station operators, has launched an appeal to the state.
“We have already had numerous reports, and not from today “, he declared, explaining that already on January 20 the gas stations had asked the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Revenue Agency to review the Cashback rules, prohibiting more operations in a period of time short in the same business. “The ministry decides how many and for how long. But a limit must be put “.
Obviously, the situation is particularly fragile for the operators of the fuel pumps, almost all of which are equipped with a self service and with the automatic service night. In fact, the reported cases occurred during the lunch break or after the closure of the business, with the “crafty” free to act. In a way that is permitted by law, however immoral and denounced by several representatives of the category.
The one reported by the gas stations is not the only case in which the State Cashback rules have been bypassed. In fact, it would be possible to obtain reimbursements with other systems not shopping or getting the double the refund.
