(Finance) – “Corrective measures have become necessary biennial preventive agreement because, in its first version, it was not attractive to taxpayers. The three conditions that we are pushing forward to give greater appeal to the new ‘tool’ are: incremental flat tax based on the reliability index of companies; simplification that brings the friendly notice from 30 days to 60 days; those who adhere to the ‘agreement’ can see their taxes spread over the following year, instead of paying the advance. We must get to the payment of taxes during the financial year to which they refer and not before”. This was stated by the senator Max Garavaglia (Lega), president of the Finance Commission at Palazzo Madama, during the Cnpr Forum “Tax: work in progress for a taxpayer-friendly reform”, promoted by the Pension Fund for Accountants and Accounting Experts, chaired by Luigi Pagliuca.
“We have been in discussion with accountants for some time now on the measures that make up the new tax system of the country – added Garavaglia – and there is room for their requests, in concert with the Government, the State Accounting Department and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. There is openness for the observations of professionals in matters of concordat, but it was essential that the instrument be fully operational. On the income tax return, an important point of balance has been found on the activity of the Revenue Agency, which must be done correctly. Where discrepancies are found, attention is placed there. No longer an invasive instrument that creates distortions, but a system of punctual analyses on non-conformity with specific controls”.
The head of the Senate Finance Committee underlined that “on the delegation tax we are well underway, now we will work on the game, online and physical, and we will try to synthesize the different positions in Parliament. Then, there will be the final drafting of the Consolidated Law which will represent a concrete response to the request for simplification of professionals And taxpayers”.
The protagonist of the ‘face to face’ with President Garavaglia was Marco Cuchelpresident of the National Association of Accountants, who judged positively the hearings promoted by the Finance Commissions of Parliament that took place in the Senate. “We have highlighted a series of critical issues on ‘Biennial preventive agreement‘, such as the inconsistency with the excessive proposal of the Revenue Agency for those with Isa grades up to 8. During the speech Also he recalled how important it is to reduce the tax burden by placing a cap on the AdE’s proposals. Then, greater clarity is needed regarding the exceeding of 5 thousand euros of debt with the tax authorities in order to adhere to this measure; the issue of forfeiture due to injury, illness or death of the taxpayer in the period in which the proposal was adhered to. And we still need to review the calculation of the advance payments by ‘spreading them out’, regimeeven in 2025. We hope there is still room for these changes. In conclusion, on the new income tax return, I expressed my consideration regarding the assessment methods that must be concentrated on certain expenses, such as the purchase of goods mobile And propertiesremoving expenses calculated in a statistical-inductive way. The Commission did well to intervene on this point. I am convinced that by continuing on the path of comparison we will be able to improve taxation in Italy, making it fairer, more sustainable and less ‘enemy’ of taxpayers”.
