The government is weighing the idea of granting an exemption on IRPEF personal income tax to Italian farmers, adding to existing measures, to meet some of the demands of the groups that have been driving their tractors around the country this week, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said Thursday.
"Without prejudice to the measures already adopted and previously mentioned, as well as all the other easement measures in force for the agricultural sector, the intervention on the subject of IRPEF exemption for agricultural entrepreneurs in need of effective support is currently being evaluated, possibly envisaging specific exemptions," he said.
"Such a measure, therefore, could be included in the firstuseful regulatory vehicle - which could also be theMilleproroghe (budget omnibus rider) decree law currently being examined by the Lower House".
