by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 11 November 2019The current perspective "makes it difficult to find the right balance between budget balance and support for the economy". This is what was stated by the Court of Auditors, in a hearing before the Joint Commissions of the House and Senate Budget, gathered for the examination of the 2020-2022 budget bill.

If on a financial level the most recent market reactions '' lead to a prudent optimism, the same is not true for the conditions of our economy, always at the bottom of the European ranking '', observed the accounting magistracy.

The delegation of the Institute led by the President Angelo Buscema underlined how indispensable the containment and the requalification of public spending : "A strict path of containment and requalification of expenditure remains indispensable", said the Court of Auditors, for which it is necessary, in particular, '' make a careful selection of the activities to continue to finance and those to be abandoned, and this to make compatible freeing up resources for a reduction in the tax burden and keeping public accounts on a debt reduction path ''.

"On the revenue front, the effort made for the re-absorption of tax evasion and evasion pockets is certainly important, to be pursued also with a more widespread recourse to instruments of spontaneous emergence of the tax bases and more accurate measurement of citizens 'and contributors' ability to pay The Government, also due to the difficulty of proceeding with a reorganization of expenditure, has also chosen to seek new entry measures, although calibrated to virtuous goals, the resources to maintain the programmed balances - the Court of Auditors added - A choice that could affect the path required to achieve those radical changes required by environmental protection conditions, especially if these measures do not fit into a more comprehensive reform process, which meets the criteria of fairness and simplification of the system and which returns thus an environment more favorable to growth and the protection of natural resources ".

According to the accounting magistracy, in the report presented for the hearings of the House Commissions and the Senate on the maneuver, the cash regulation can contribute to reducing evasion: "Therefore, the conviction is confirmed that the limitation of the use of cash, far from constituting the solution of the phenomena of illegality and tax evasion, it can however contribute to the reduction of these phenomena "," together with other instruments that even the budget maneuver contemplates, such as the obligation to pay for certain cases and the adoption of incentive forms to promote the spread of electronic payments ".

The maneuver, consisting of DDL and tax Dl, is worth 31.7 billion in 2020, 32.6 in 2021 and 27.4 billion in 2022 this is what the Court of Auditors certifies, explaining that the financial effects are calculated by not referring to to the amounts allocated in the spending funds (as reductions) but to the primary sources (greater revenues) of the fiscal Decree that feed the Funds (Funds for reduction of the fiscal pressure and for multi-year contributions to cover the measures of the budget law).
