30 September 2019After the night summit at Palazzo Chigi to close the agreement of the Giallorossi government on the DEF - economy and finance document -, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte spoke "We have found the 23 billion and the first good news is that we sterilize - or freeze the increase - VAT ". But not only: "I went to ask for confidence in Parliament and I made a commitment to fly Italy, I can't just be satisfied with sterilizing the VAT".

The crux of the night meeting was to find the resources for the maneuver, or the funds to avert selective increases in VAT, without increasing the deficit over 2.2% of GDP. The goal of Prime Minister Conte "is to lower VAT, I would like to bring VAT on bills from 10 to 5%. To do this we must increase the use of alternative means to cash".

Already "today we bring the NaDef - Note of Update of the Def - in the Council of Ministers" explains Giuseppe Conte. I believe "it is right that in this maneuver there is a cut in the tax wedge for workers". The prime minister reiterated this by talking with the chroniclers in front of Palazzo Chigi.
