09 October 2019Quota 100 is a "transitional measure that ends in 2021, the government's intention is not to renew it in the future. We have in mind a model of flexibility in the different pension system and we will discuss it with the social partners".This was said by the deputy minister for the economy, Antonio Misiani, in the reply after the general discussion on the Update note to the DEF, in the Senate.
Income? Fighting poverty is sacrosanct, just keeping it and improving it
"Strengthening a structural measure against poverty I believe is, from the point of view of the allocation of resources, a sacrosanct choice. It is reasonable to maintain it and improve it from the point of view of functioning", added Misiani, speaking of citizenship income in the reply to the debate on the update note to the Def, at Palazzo Madama. "The advent of inclusion income and citizenship income - he added - allows us to almost fill the gap" with the average European expenditure in this area.
In maneuver no cash fee and no amnesties
"There will be no restrictions or penalties for cash payments", assured Misiani, stressing several times that there will be no "restrictive measures on consumers but there is a willingness to incentivize electronic payments" that "help the emergence of the black ".
And then: "There will be no amnesties in this maneuver, unlike the previous ones," added Misiani, who highlighted the desire to "close the season of amnesties and amnesties" which represents "one of the strongest measures for the recovery of a amount of evasion which is an element of social injustice and unfair competition of the actors ". According to the deputy minister, "acting against tax evasion is the best way to reduce the tax burden permanently. Paying everyone to pay less".
For VAT clauses, it is a record amount but an expansive maneuver
The 23.1 billion for the deactivation of the safeguard clauses on the VAT of this maneuver "are the highest value ever," he underlined. Despite this, "the government must be acknowledged to have built an expansive maneuver" that improves among other things "the macroeconomic data of the country, the employment trend and the unemployment rate. Could more be done? Certainly but it is expansive, "he said.
Wedge cut without using clauses
"The 2014-2015 wedge cut was largely financed with safeguard clauses, this not with new safeguard clauses, but in a multi-year framework in which we deactivate the 2020 clause and reduce those of the following years. We leave to the next law a legacy that is less thought than the one we found ", said Misiani, responding to those who criticized the lack of resources for cutting the wedge.
Rules against oil product evasion
Finally, among the measures to find the estimated 7 billion maneuver from the fight against evasion "there will be interventions on the tax evasion of oil products", the deputy minister anticipated.
