01 October 2019 "I am very happy with this note of update to the Def because we kept the founding promise of this Government not to increase VAT. And on Monday we will keep another with the cut of parliamentarians". Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio told 'Agorà' on Rai3. Then he reiterates that he hopes for the "jail for the great tax evaders" and announced: "With INPS, and with the president Pasquale Tridico, we have devised a software against the evasion of all the contributions that are paid to INPS. It is one tool that will allow us to recover 4-5 billion euros, "he added.

"A reduction in commissions for card payers"
"In the Nadef we have provided an incentive for those who pay with credit cards but we also work to reduce the commissions that the merchant has to pay, so that they are not exorbitant even when it comes to bread or milk". The foreign minister then recalled that there are "more investments for education" and "measures for cutting the tax wedge, for families that have children, the single allowance for families, the nurseries that must be free and this measure will be in the budget law ".

Bellanova: "Increase VAT would punish those we want to defend"
"If we keep the commitments made by the government, it is a victory for all". Thus the Minister of Agriculture Teresa Bellanova in an interview with the Republic speaks of the avoided increase in VAT in the update note of the Def. But he adds: "There is only one majority. All forces must always be involved. If there is no respect, the mechanism risks getting stuck".

For Bellanova, opposing VAT reworking is the cutting of the tax wedge "it is irresponsible. We also work on the tax wedge. But not with the increase in VAT or even with a rescheduling of the tax for which the active person is rewarded "Digitalization and penalizing those who do not. And older people and less well off citizens? We would have hit those we want to support, other than social justice. I say we made complicated choices because we were on the brink of the abyss. Now we work for to regain greater trust and we cannot do so if we increase taxes ". Bellanova, who left the Pd and entered Italy Viva, explains that none of the Renzians will be a mine for the Government: "We will disappoint the suspicious. We are serious people, we want to have a propulsive role to create trust".

Misiani: "You change course"
With the fight against tax evasion "we do not want to make war on small traders but we want jail for the great tax evaders, those who carry assets abroad and get away with a fine. We want them to go to jail". "The Council of Ministers has launched the NaDef 2019. Stop VAT increases, start cutting the tax wedge to the benefit of workers, a 50 billion Green New Deal in 15 years for sustainable development. Change course: towards an Italy greener, fairer and more competitive ". The Deputy Minister of Economy, Antonio Misiani, writes this on Twitter.
