The tax agreement might have one second life. Not an extension but one reopening of the deadlines of another two months, until 31 December 2024. This is the hypothesis on which the government for the ‘sequel’ of the option that allows a self-employed workers And VAT numbers to freeze taxes And controls for the next two years, adhering to the agreement with the taxman. The first phase closed on October 31st, a second window with others could open for taxpayers deadlines and new revenues.
On the first tranche, accountants’ calculations they start from an estimate of 10% of memberships by taxpayers potentially involved (the number of eligible beneficiaries is 4.7 million). Among the most optimistic there are those who come close to the percentage of 20%. At the moment there are no certainties about numbers and money. To get the first data you will have to wait a few days, up to a maximum of ten. It will certainly be difficult to achieve the initially ventilated collection of 2 billion euros.
Meanwhile also a agreed bis divides politics. For the majority, the campaign would continue like thisTax man‘ wanted by Palazzo Chigi to bring out the escape with the soft alternative of spontaneous adjustments. The opposition, however, is very contrary. We would go from «un Italian condonation» to «a painful thing, the total surrender of taxes», denounces Antonio Misiani, economic manager of the PD. He echoes it Mario Turcosenator of the M5s: «It’s a preventive amnesty. Those who are sure they have will join higher incomes in the next two years, so as to bypass taxes and controls. The result is a lower revenue and a probable treasury damage. More trenchant Avs: «The government is a candidate for the record of failures».
Regardless of pros and cons, for now from Ministry of Economy no signal. An’new preventive agreement‘, immediately after the one that has just expired, remains a hypothesis on the table. Crucially, however, the difference between extension And reopening of the deadlines. Apparently only technique. Behind, however, there is the possibility or not of immediately having funds for the project third maneuver of the Meloni government. And with one priority destination how is the promised reduction of Irpef rates. On the contrary, the extension, although potentially more generous in resources, would postpone the counting and above all the use of the amount collected by theRevenue Agency until now.
Meanwhile, the option ‘agreed bis‘ collects the consent of the accountants. «It’s an opportunity», summarizes the National Council of Accountants. For the president of the association he represents further 120 thousand professionals of the sector, Elbano de Nuccio: «It would certainly represent an opportunity for those who have not had the material time to make the necessary reflections», he explains, and therefore for regularize by paying the agreed sum.
Aside from the convenience of instrumentand the ability to make other ‘proselytes’ by extending the terms, the extent of the remains crucial proceeds collected until yesterday’s deadline. An’little treasure‘ which can make a difference, given the ‘promise‘ made by the government to the majority parties to use that very money to lower taxes in favor of the middle class. A “essential commitment” For Forza Italia who more than anyone, among the centre-right allies, asks for there to be a Irpef cut over 40 thousand euros gross per year (up to 50 or 60 thousand). And which he will fight to the end, he assures. So a possibility is good lengthening of terms for them VAT numbers – this is the reasoning of the Forza Italia supporters – but what counts is the previous collection. «The funds of preventive agreement must be used to reduce theIrpef», says the deputy prime minister and leader of FI, Antonio Tajani.
