“I ask for Draghi’s commitment” – Corriere.it

“A commitment that I personally ask President Draghi, whom I already asked last March, it is a decisive intervention on the tax bills, because there are 120 million Equitalia bills that risk being a definitive blow in the post Covid recovery, for families and businesses“. Explaining the reasons why his party yesterday did not participate in the Council of Ministers that approved the fiscal delegation, Lega leader Matteo Salvini opened a new front of economic battle with the premier, after that of the land registry. An indirect response from the government came from Minister Daniele Franco who, in a hearing on Nadef, timidly opened to the possibility of an intervention on the tax bills and, therefore, to the Scrapping quater. He did so, however, warning that “we must gradually return to a situation of normality in which all families and businesses can pay the bills issued by the Revenue Agency”. In short, now that the economy has started to turn and thanks to vaccinations and the green pass, the return to a life (even economic) as similar as possible to the pre-Covid one is no longer a mirage, the extensions for those who have debts with the tax authorities they must have the hours numbered.

Nadef, in the resolution no mention of the folders

But it was enough to wait until the early afternoon to discover that the majority resolution in the House in view of the vote on Nadef did not include any mention of an intervention on the tax bills or a scrapping quater. Contrary to what was initially expected (in the draft of the document there was talk of extending the terms of the notifications and opening the scrapping quater), silence has fallen on the pending charges with the tax authorities, while there is space for the extension of the Superbonus to 110% (including the renewal of the so-called discount on the invoice and transferability of the credit). In the document there is also a clear reference to the need to extend and strengthen the social safety nets system as well as to provide for the implementation of flexibility mechanisms at the exit of the labor market.

The request of Lega and Forza Italia

Meanwhile, Salvini too, in the midst of the storm for his no to the reform of the land registry, he turns to Draghi for “a commitment that I personally ask the president”. The leader of the League recalls having already made the appeal in March “and we have arrived in October”. For Salvini “Equitalia’s 120 million tax bills risk being a definitive blow in the post-Covid recovery of families and businesses”. The Forza Italia deputy Mauro D’Attis, member of the Budget Commission of the Chamber, also asked for the suspension of the bills. “For some time we have been asking for the suspension of tax bills in the Covid emergency period”, wrote D’Attis in a note, “selective reduction of tax bills for families and businesses in difficulty, dilution of unpaid installments in the emergency period as in the case of scrapping for which immediate action is required that does not invalidate the existing installment plans for those who have not been able to pay the installments. Italy needs a friendly taxman ».
