"The timing, announced by the Government representatives" in the meeting with the trade unions on the tax reform
"provide for the adoption of the delegated decrees - which will contain the implementation discipline of the principles expressed in the delegation - within 24 months from the date of entry into force of the Law delegation".
Palazzo Chigi makes it known.
"The representatives of the Executive assured the unions present
'maximum openness to dialogue and confrontation throughout the parliamentary process' for the approval of the delegation and subsequent implementing measures".
This was reported in a note from Palazzo Chigi after the meeting between the government and the unions on the tax reform.
"After discussions with the trade unions, a table with the trade associations and professional orders is scheduled for tomorrow
. A method - reads the press release -, that of dialogue, which bears witness to the Government's willingness to achieve a Reform as concrete and shared as possible".
Among the objectives of the tax reform there is also that of "simplifying obligations, encouraging collaboration with the tax authorities and encouraging the return of capital".
So
is Palazzo Chigi in a note after the confrontation between the government and the union
i on tax reform: "one of the main objectives" that the government "intends to vigorously pursue - we read - is the fight against tax evasion" on which specific measures are "being studied to encourage the spontaneous compliance of taxpayers, with the priority aim of arriving at a 'Fisco Amico' who dialogues with the tax payer".
"A broad mandate to structurally revolutionize the Italian tax system 50 years after the last comprehensive reform dating back to the 1970s
(Delegated Law No. 825 of 1971)".
This is how Palazzo Chigi defines the tax reform on which discussions with the social partners began today, with the meeting
with the unions to be followed tomorrow by the meeting with businesses
.
"During the discussion at Palazzo Chigi with the representatives of the trade unions, the Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, the Deputy Minister, Maurizio Leo and the Undersecretary to the Prime Minister, Alfredo Mantovano, illustrated the principles and timing of the 'New Tax' redesigned by the Meloni Government which passes from an organic revision of the Italian tax system - reads the press release -. Overall,
the Reform aims to favor dependent work, with the primary objective of helping families, young people and the tax burden for companies,
increase employment and investments, simplify obligations, encourage collaboration with the tax authorities and encourage the return of capital". Palazzo Chigi underlines that "in this context, one of the main objectives that the Meloni Government intends to vigorously pursue is the fight tax evasion, an issue on which specific measures are being studied to encourage the spontaneous compliance of taxpayers, with the primary aim of arriving at a 'Fisco Amico' who dialogues with the taxpayer".
The meeting with the government "didn't go well either on the merits or on the method.
Today there was a description of the
enabling law 48 hours from the Council of Ministers,
this is really not going. There was no involvement and
we are not satisfied agreement neither on the reduction of the three tax rates, because it favors high and very high incomes, nor on the flat tax,
which is outside the dimension of progressivity envisaged by the Constitution. We are not absolutely happy and satisfied. This is not an issue that concerns everyone".
So the deputy general secretary of the
CGIL, Gianna Fracassi,
at the end of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi on the tax reform.
"There is a problem with resources, because this operation costs many billions, we would like to understand how and how much these interventions are financed,
we would like to avoid this operation being to the detriment of the welfare state
, health, education". Thus the deputy general secretary of the CGIL, Gianna Fracassi, at the end of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi on tax reform. "We need a serious fight against tax evasion - she remarks - but unfortunately we do not have a favorable precedent because there were amnesties in the budget law.
It is not possible to exclude workers and pensioners who represent the majority of those who pay Irpef and are around 90% of tax payers.
There is very little about them.
With Cisl and Uil there is a unified platform, we will evaluate the initiatives to put in place.
We no longer accept being informed of things that have already been defined". Fracassi adds that the government "has not said what the three personal income tax brackets will be, they are evaluating the rates".

Cisl leader Luigi Sbarra
underlines the "inadequacy" of the confrontation put in place by the Government on the tax reform and the "urgency" of having answers.
And, after today's meeting at Palazzo Chigi, he says: "I would add that we need to speed up discussions on social security, pensions, health and safety, non-self-sufficiency, investment relaunch, job quality and stability. If the Government responds to our requests claims and our priorities, well,
otherwise we are ready to evaluate together with the CGIL and UIL the mobilization initiatives to be put in place in support of our reasons"
.
"In the meantime, we have raised a question linked to the inadequacy of the method, of dialogue and of discussion. A few hours after the convening of the Council of Ministers, it is not possible to summon the social partners and the union for information on the contents of the tax delegation law in partial, summary, general generic way", says Sbarra as he leaves Palazzo Chigi.
"There were few arguments that the Government presented to the table - he explains -: there is talk generically of a reduction in tax rates but we do not know if it stands out at the top or bottom, there is talk of a revision of the brackets and here too there is nothing been told.".
Sbarra then indicated: "We basically asked for a permanent, structured discussion with the trade union organizations on the tax issue. It is premature,
on the basis of this summary information, express a complete judgment on the text of the enabling law.
We await the Council of Ministers but we have indicated the urgency to the Government to respond to our priorities". "We have set the contents of our unitary platform". the CISL leader underlines that the request of the confederal trade unions is for "a tax reform that responds to criteria that ensure the principle of progressive withdrawal.
We need to start with a strong reduction in taxes on middle and popular incomes from work and retirement, that is, reducing taxes on those who pay them every year down to the last penny in this country.
We represented the urgency of raising the strategy to contrast tax evasion and
tax avoidance that is worth 100 billion euros of lost revenue every year in the state coffers: there is a lot of VAT evasion, there is a lot of personal income tax evasion, there is a lot of tax evasion.
We have placed the urgency of determining tax reduction interventions on the fruits of national and corporate collective bargaining.
We have asked for the return of the fiscal drag at a time when wages, salaries and pensions are being massacred by double-digit inflation.
We have set the need to restore the fringe benefits as we had negotiated them with the previous government: they had been brought to three thousand euros, today we feel that there is a return to the past at 258 euros".

On taxation, "the Government has an ambitious plan to make an overall reform", "on the merits there is more than something concerning work but we will then have to intervene in detail when we have a definitive text", he said, after the meeting at Palazzo Chigi with the unions on the tax delegation, the general secretary of the
Ugl Paolo Capone
"There is a complex of interventions in favor of work that seem to us in line with the requests we have made, but in detail we will have to see them written and then we will make an assessment ".
Today the Deputy Minister of Economy,
Maurizio Leo
, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the judicial year of Tax Justice confirmed that the tax delegation will go to the CDM on Thursday. "Today we will see the trade unions, then we will see the trade associations".
Landini's doubts?
"When he sees all the rules for employee work… We have put a lot of things for employee work", he replied.
