(Finance) – “This is the case of extension to 31 December 2024 of the possibility of postponing the checks on contribution regularity (DURC), by the competent administrations, to the moment of the balance in case of disbursement of public aid and contributions. A similar possibility is provided for in relation to non-compliance with the payment obligation resulting from the notification of one or more payment orders by the Revenue Agency. In this case the advance payment is subject to a termination clause and therefore to the recovery of the benefits provided”. This was announced Confagricoltura in a note.
The extension to 2024 for the application of the containment measures of Xylella fastidiosa in the olive sector was also positive. The Milleproroghe decree – adds the Confederation – it has also extended to 31 December 2024 (it was 31.12.23) the deadline for the inspection of agricultural machinery registered from 1 January 1984 to 31 December 1996, and to 31 December 2025 (it was 31.12.24) the deadline for the revision of those registered from 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2019.
The extension – highlights Confagricoltura – has once again become necessary because the Ministerial Decree which will have to establish the type of checks to be carried out during the audit and, above all, the organizational setup of the audit centers has not yet been issued. Therefore, to date, it is not possible to overhaul agricultural machinery. Confagricoltura also appreciates the measures aimed at extending the terms of the instruments already identified to mitigate the effects of drought on crops.
The extensions included in the legislative decree approved by the Council of Ministers give breathing space to businesses – concludes Confagricoltura – However, the need for broader structural interventions in favor of Italian agriculture and its companies is reiterated, to give impetus to the sector and the country’s economy.
