(Finance) – As easily predictable, the mini extension granted for the payment of the installments of the “Scrapping Ter” he was born in “Balance and Excerpt“, Which expired last December, was not enough to allow taxpayers who had signed up to the facility to be able to pay the overdue installments. There are about 532 thousand taxpayers (43% of the total) who, not having paid within the terms, have lost the benefits of the facilitated definition, with the impossibility of a new installment of the remaining debt.
This is one of the data that the Undersecretary of the MEF Maria Cecilia Guerra yesterday provided the Finance and Treasury Commission of the Senate in response to the question presented by Senator Emiliano Fenu, a figure which, however, does not take into account the subjects who have lapsed from all the other installment measures.
“We had represented the inadequacy of a provision which in fact granted taxpayers a postponement of only a few dayswithout taking into account the situation of economic difficulty in which many citizens and businesses still find themselves today “, he highlights Marco Cuchel President of the National Association of Accountants.
The effects of the pandemic on the economy of the country have not been exhausted and the decision to restore ordinary rules, starting from the beginning of this year, by overcoming the facilitation measures introduced during the emergency, did not prove far-sighted.
“The emergency cannot be said to be over – Cuchel argues – for this reason it is appropriate that all the installments in place during the period of the pandemic (assessment with adhesion, fiscal peace, ter scrapping, balance and excerpt, amicable notices, etc.) are put back on schedule, allowing them to be re-scheduled, with the possibility for taxpayers to also redefine the debt amortization plans “.
The ANC government asks for urgent action in this sense, since the situation that has arisen, which is unsustainable for many taxpaying citizens and businesses, is worrying for its economic and social consequences.
