Businesses and work as "engine of the economy". Infrastructures and the environment as a "relauncher". Tourism art and culture as "country brand". A public administration "allied to citizens and businesses". Education, research and skills "key factors for development". Individuals and families "in a more inclusive and fairer society". These are the 6 macro-sectors and the 6 corresponding objectives that the plan for phase 3 of the Colao task force presents on the cover. "A stronger, resilient and fair Italy" is the central objective of the document.
A 121 page document, with six macro-objectives and six macro-sectors, entitled "Initiatives for the relaunch - Italy 2020-2022". This presents the plan of the task force Colao, which ANSA is in possession of. There are three transversal objectives of the document, which appear on the cover of the text: "digitization and innovation; green revolution; gender equality and inclusion". Each of the six sectors have sub-chapters, which corresponds to an objective. Funding sources are divided into "mainly public", "mainly private" and "no funding".
Postpone the 2019 tax balance and the 2020 advance payment - Postpone the payment of the June-July income tax. It is one of the proposals contained in the chapter "companies and driving force of the economy" of the Colao Plan with the "initiatives for the relaunch of Italy 2020-2022". The proposal calls for "deferring (at least for companies that request it) the payment of the tax balance due in 2020 upon its receipt". On the tax front, it is asked to make it easier to offset debts with tax credits, also with the receivables due from the PA.
Parental leave reform, compensation to 60% - "Initiate the reform of parental leave by compensating it at least 60%, identifying forms of public support, to encourage its use especially by men and extend paternity leave to 15 days". It is one of the actions identified by the Colao task force in support of female employment.
Exclude Covid from criminal liability - Exclude the 'Covid-19 contagion' from the employer's criminal liability for non-healthcare companies and temporarily tax neutralize the cost of organizational interventions for the adoption of safety protocols; define and adopt an ethical code for the PA on smart working; allow (as a temporary derogation) the renewal of fixed-term contracts expiring at least throughout 2020.
Tax concessions for tourism operators - "Providing concessions and tax exemptions for the activities of 2020-2021, encouraging operators to open in order to preserve both goodwill and employment, in particular seasonal (eg tax exemption in the event of hiring , increase in benefits compared to extra costs due to sanitation, incentives for reopening) ". This is what one of the objectives of the Colao plan envisages in the Tourism and culture sector. "The tourism sector is impacted by the pandemic in a very serious way", is the premise that we read.
On strategic infrastructures stop local authorities - Clearly identify infrastructures "of strategic interest" and create an enforcement unit that guarantees the removal of obstacles to their implementation also through "national laws or construction protocols that cannot be opposed by local authorities". This is what the Colao Plan envisages to transform energy or TLC infrastructural networks or the environment into a relaunching 'flywheel'. The planning of these infrastructures should take place through a garrisoning unit within the Prime Minister's Office.
Accelerate on 5G - Accelerate the development of 5G networks also by providing to exclude local opposition when national protocols are respected. This is what the Colao plan indicates, which highlights the need to "adapt the electromagnetic emission levels in Italy to European values, today approximately 3 times higher and radically lower than the risk threshold levels".
It takes more 0-3 years nests, cover at least 60% - Launch a national plan for the opening of nests ( 0-3 years ): it is one of the actions identified by the Colao task force. Specifically, it is proposed to extend the offer reaching "in 3 years 60% of the children and eliminating the territorial differences between Central, Northern and Southern Italy. Currently the availability of nests is still low (25%) and highly uneven across the territory. Very few children from the South (10%) have the opportunity to attend the nursery and it is in the South that fertility is now lower ". "The nursery - reads - is an educational service which all children must be able to access without differences". We also request an organization of services "with flexible hours and openings also on holidays in order to guarantee the due flexibility in use".
Boost to return Italy to high value companies - To encourage the resettlement in Italy of activities with high added value and / or production with the aim of strengthening the country system and competitiveness. It is one of the indications (technically "reshoring") contained in the Colao Plan on the business front. The suggestion is to act, for example, by means of decontribution of the relative workers, incentives for productive investments, increase for tax purposes of the depreciable value of the repatriated activities. It is also indicated to evaluate the extension of the regime to all new production sites in Italy.
Two amnesties, for illegal work and cash - There are also two amnesty proposals in the 'business and work' chapter of the Colao Plan. The first is for the emergence of undeclared work which, on the basis of the relaunch decree, provides for the emergence of irregular work in some sectors but also a mix of bonuses (reduction of contributions), stakes (declaration of absence of undeclared work) and penalties (in case of false declarations. A second Voluntary Disclosure would instead concern the emergence and regularization of the accounts deriving from undeclared income with the payment of a substitute tax and the obligation to invest a part of the amount (40- 60%) for 5 years in country support tools.

Switching to electronic payments - Encourage the use of electronic payments (in the PA, in commercial establishments and above all in services and services). The Colao Plan for business and employment provides for this. The specific actions suggested to achieve the objective are: IRPEF deductions / deductions, instant win lotteries, tax credit for the years and agreements with the banking system for the reduction of commissions. To facilitate the transition to electronic payments, it is also suggested to make the penalties for commercial businesses and services without a Pos or with a non-functioning Pos effective and possibly tighten. Lastly, it is suggested to discourage the use of cash for significant amounts by reducing the limits on cash payments as well as disincentives to withdraw and use cash.
Too many gaps, bridging the digital gap - Launching an experimental didactic program to bridge the gap of critical skills and skills (digital skills, problem-solving, basic financial) that sees Italy in 26th place in Europe out of 28 countries for digital skills of the population. It is one of the points of the Colao Plan presented today. The traditional training system, it says, "has significant gaps with regard to innovative skills". For example, only 20% of teachers have attended digital literacy training courses and 24% of schools still lack programming courses.
Developing high-speed Adriatic backbone - "Improving the accessibility of Italian tourism, investing in key infrastructural connections relating to high-potential and currently missing tourist areas / poles, strengthening the high-speed backbones, some smaller tourist airports and intermodal logistics for cities of art ".
