Once the epochal dossier on the obligation of the Green Pass to all workers has been filed, for Prime Minister Mario Draghi, phase two of his government is in fact opening. And it opens in the name of controversy on one of the hottest topics of autumn: the tax reform. On the delegation, in the coming days, the Mef and Palazzo Chigi will accelerate after the precautions of recent weeks given that the reform, in the initial schedule of the NRP, was tentatively scheduled before the summer break. But the issue is thorny, the parties are bubbling and the administrative of 3 and 4 October make any agreement in the majority more tiring.
The hypothesis, explain government sources, is that the executive will implement an initially more "light" reform starting from the most divisive issue:
the land registry
. The intention of Draghi and the executive would be to take only a first step on the land registry, in the tax reform. By inserting in the delegation the inspiring principles that are limited to indicating the direction in which the executive wants to go on a theme, that of the value of the properties, which awaits a reform since 1989.
The prime minister is also inclined to exercise a certain prudence on timing . According to the latest updates, the Council of Ministers next week will certainly be called to pass the 3.5 billion decree against expensive bills.
The tax reform will probably end up on the table at Palazzo Chigi but it is not unlikely that the green light from the CDM will arrive only in the following week.At the same time Draghi has no intention of postponing the dossier indefinitely.
The "guardians" of the Next Generation Eu, in Brussels, remain vigilant and by the end of the year the European report cards will arrive on this initial phase of implementation of the Italian PNRR.
The center-right, meanwhile, paws. Casus belli the revaluation of cadastral values that, until a few days ago, the government had thought of including in the reform. First of all, there are two risks to avoid: a very clear increase in the Imu on the second home and a swelling of the Isee. "To increase taxes just any Monti, it is neither in heaven nor on earth to increase those on the house", warns a Matteo Salvini who, after the ok to the super Green Pass, would hardly collect a tax reform that is indigestible to him. Also because, this time, the leader of the League sees his entire party at his side and also Forza Italia. "When it comes to land registry reform, I would not want the left to think of putting new taxes on buildings", warns the blue coordinator Antonio Tajani. "It is not the time for patrimonial masquerades ", echoes Anna Maria Bernini. And also the owner of Regional Affairs Maria Stella Gelmini asks for a supplement of reflection:" if the land registry reform must be, it must take place with the same revenue ".
The Democratic Party, for now, keeps a low profile while Leu, with Federico Fornaro, insists on the "inescapability" of the reform.
"Who today does not want to touch anything, in reality, defends the indefensible: houses in the center of Rome, for example, that have a lower cadastral value than houses on the outskirts of the city", warns the group leader in the Chamber. The M5s, with the deputy minister to Mef Laura Castelli, focuses on other aspects of the delegation. "It will focus on reducing the tax burden, especially for the middle class, and on a process of digitization and simplification that looks to the self-employed," he explains.
Draghi, in the next few days, will take over the dossier and at the same time, will also start
the control room for the coordination and monitoring of the NRP,
with the involvement of local authorities. And only after - presumably at the beginning of October - will it be up to the competition. But the road to reforms does not stop. "The State and the administrative machinery of the Republic have many weaknesses. A collective effort is needed to repair the machinery of the State", explains the Undersecretary to the Prime Minister Roberto Garofoli.
