According to the estimates of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the transition from 22% to 10% would cost around 553 million euros, which would reach 784 million by reducing the rate to 5%".
This was stated by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, in a hearing in the Senate on the programmatic guidelines in the communications sector, adding that he is also working with the Mef "to find the necessary coverage".
