(Finance) – “We must intensify the culture of workplace safety starting from young people. We will bring these issues to schools and universities as well as to school-work alternation courses. We need to expand the number of subjects who are entitled to compensation also if the primary objective is to drastically reduce the number of injuries”. With these words Marina Calderone, Minister of Labor and Social Policiesintervened at the 6th National Forum of Accountants and Accounting Expertsorganized by Italia Oggi and sponsored by the Cnpr, chaired by Louis Pagliucaon the topic “The novelty of the budget law for professionals and businesses“, which took place in Milan at Palazzo Emilio Turati.
“We have opened a reflection on the job’s act – said Calderone – and in February we will identify the actions to be implemented in support of the professional sector. The government’s commitment is aimed at improving and implementing the rules to support the free profession. I believe that in contracts a term, we must return to the issue of causes. It is wrong to consider flexibility as precariousness. Flexibility certainly exists, which as such is necessary because it allows companies and workers to standardize and even conform to market situations, then there is the condition in which flexibility are misused. But I wouldn’t blame flexibility by reading it only in a negative light”, adds Calderone, observing that “the fixed-term contract is not a form of insecurity in the world of work, where there is the possibility of using it in a knowledgeable to be able to build careers that will necessarily be characterized by diva activities and jobs rsi that will make you grow professionally. The government’s commitment – concluded the Minister of Labor – must be to be able to put the male or female worker in a position to be able to access, in a short time, another job offer, where a work experience ends”.
Another element of revitalization for the national economy is represented by culture, as underlined by Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano: “Italy has two major economic-productive pillars on which to focus, one is business, the other culture. In the coming years the number of travelers will increase and in this scenario Italy is a global cultural giant with a an incomparable offer. Culture, therefore, is yes conservation but it is also a great economic lever for development. We need professionals who know how to bring this entire heritage into a dimension of economic and business management, making it a great economic engine”.
Francesco Paolo Sisto, Deputy Minister of Justiceintervened on the rules of fair compensation for professionals: “We await Thursday in the Chamber for the text, after the unanimous approval in the Justice Commission, it can certainly be improved, but we must push to approve it as soon as possible to give an initial concrete signal of attention on the issue. For this reason, rigorous control of parliamentary procedures is needed to avoid new ‘surprises’ after, in the last legislature, it was not possible to reach the finish line for a very short time, despite the broad convergence between parties”.
The cut of the tax wedge, aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises at the center of the intervention of Lucia Albano, undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy and Finance: “One of the main objectives of this government is to bring the cut of the tax wedge to 5 points, this will not only benefit workers but also businesses. Various instruments have been included in the budget law that meet the needs of SMEs, because we are perfectly aware that entrepreneurs are facing a significant increase in costs and the expected recovery will certainly not be sufficient to cover the gap accumulated over the years of the pandemic”.
Federico Frenieven him undersecretary to the Mef he observed that “by June there will be a new regulation for investments. In the budget law we approved a provision that changed the context of investments which today provides for a framework regulation, unlike what happened without it, approved by the supervising ministries (Ministero Economy and Finance and Ministry of Labour), in which the regulations of each fund are inserted, which today are among the most solid and reliable investors in the whole country, the lintel of the entire system”.
Second Massimo Bitonci (undersecretary at the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy) “the tax reform must go in the direction of reducing the tax burden, simplifying obligations and reducing disputes. Without a doubt, obligations must be reduced, which today instead increase exponentially, at the same time it is necessary to make some measures structural which allow the cut of the disputes in cassation, which we know are more than 50% of a fiscal nature”.
“To reduce the accumulation of tax credits we must activate domiciliation, which is a type of collection that works, guarantees cash flow and we must not chase after those who simply forget to pay. Thinking about an extension of it is not wrong, on the contrary it should meeting the needs of the taxpayer. The warehouse of tax bills has exceeded the ceiling of one thousand billion, it is necessary to intervene with various operating mechanisms, first of all the simplification with the minimum regime and the mortgage on the asset” he maintained Massimo Garavaglia, president of the Finance and Treasury Commission of the Senate.
Necessary provision to be included in the next tax reform, second Alberto Gusmeroli, number one of the Productive Activities, Commerce and Tourism Commission at Montecitorio “It is the extension of the abolition of the Irap, immediately applicable for the Snc, the associated studios, the Stp and the capital companies, providing for a surcharge that does not weigh on the citizens. In recent years we have managed to complicate the tax system in in a crazy way and for the World Bank we are among the worst in the world. If you decide to simplify, you really have to do it”.
For Marco Osnato (President of the Finance Commission of the Chamber of Deputies) “Implementing an effective simplification means modifying the consolidated texts, which must be more streamlined and easier to interpret, eliminating that very long series of circulars that always ends up complicating life for citizens and businesses. In this historical phase, it is necessary to vigorously guarantee the taxpayers’ rights”.
Always in the direction of simplification Emiliano Fenu (M5S group leader in the Finance Commission in the Chamber)proposes to activate the tax cashback “which provides for the payment of deductible expenses with traceable systems, for example a credit card, in this way the taxpayer will have an immediate refund of 19% directly to his current account. This simplifies life of the taxpayer by making it easier to fill out tax returns, and at the same time the State will have the possibility to control the use of tax expenditures and deductions in real time”.
