(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Reduction of the tax wedge, corporate income taxation, sanction system, tax-payer relationship: are the priorities that Assolombarda brought to the attention of the Government during a meeting between local entrepreneurs and the Deputy Minister of Economy, Maurice Leo, during the General Council of Assolombarda which took place today in Gio Ponti Palace.
“We are convinced that the tax authorities must increasingly become a lever of competitiveness and growth for business and for the country,” he said Alessandro Spada, President of Assolombarda. “We shared with the deputy minister the observations on tax matters of the companies in the most productive area of Italy. We agree – he added – on the basic principles which inspire the Tax Reform and we now believe it is essential to intervene on four priorities: the reduction of the tax wedge, the taxation of corporate income, the sanction system, the tax-taxpayer relationship”. for Sword, “the reduction of the tax wedge it is an undisputed necessity since in Italy it is equal to 46.5%, against an average of 34.6% in OECD countries. The Decree passed on May 1st is a first step that we ask becomes structural, the real test bench will be the next Budget Law. On the topic of youth more needs to be done. In this direction, we propose a flat tax on newly hired workers under 35, to subject them to a tax of 5% for the first five years of activity. This fiscal aid translates into an investment in the future”.
For the Deputy Minister Maurizio Leo “all the proposals put forward are of value and will be brought to the attention of Parliament. Assolombarda – he recalled – is the territorial association representative of the Confindustria system and companies that are among the most important in Italy operate in the area. I therefore thank the President and the companies for all the considerations of value advanced”.
