(Finance) – “We retain the decision to reopen the deadlines for adhesion to the Biennial Composition with Creditors not acceptable and counterproductive, but also disrespectful towards the professionals involved. From the beginning, the legislation linked to this instrument proved to be unsatisfactory for our category, as the Union has highlighted several times in recent months. Despite the repeated requests for extension made, the Government rejected every proposalforcing professionals to respect the deadline of 31 October and invoking the absence of technical times, mysteriously made available with the proposal to reopen on 12 December. A choice that undermines trust between the tax authorities and professionals and demonstrates once again the disorganization that characterizes the regulatory approach, making work planning difficult and compromising the quality of the service that professionals offer to their clients. This not only hinders whom helps to ensure transparency and correctness in the relationship with the financial administration, but also calls into question the effectiveness of the much vaunted tax simplification”.
He states it Francesco Cataldi, president of the National Union of Young Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts.
“In the face of repeated promises of dialogue and simplification, the government apparatus continues to penalize those who work on the front line, forcing accountants to face late and inconsistent decisions which translate into redundancy of activities and stress in managing work and relationships with customers”, explains Cataldi.
“As for the greater resources deriving from the reopening of the deadlines, our data suggests that the effect will only be temporary and will arise from adhering to the amnesty, since the agreement in the strict sense with the tax authorities will have an overall negative impact on tax revenues The taxpayers who have joined, in fact, are mostly those who foresee an exponential growth in its turnover and income. This means that, although they pay a little more today, the Treasury will end up collecting less than it could have obtained under normal conditions.”
Cataldi remarks: “As for the targeted use of additional resources, we believe it is essential that a part of them, although not structural, can be allocated to the proposals put forward by the accountants category, which has borne the greatest operational burden for guarantee adherence to the Biennial Composition with Creditors. Among these, in particular, we propose to allocate resources for the adjustment of compensation for judicial settlements, especially for those with insufficient assets, currently stuck at a paltry sum of 811.35 euros; the extension of the replacement flat tax regime for small professional groups; tax breaks for temporary management assignments that favor the improvement of company performance.
These measures, appreciated across the board and characterized by limited financial coverage, will have a positive impact not only on the incomes of young professionals but also on the entrepreneurial fabriccontributing in the long term to greater efficiency of the tax system and an increase in revenue for the Treasury”.
