13 November 2019The tax bill is the first test for the majority and risks opening the battle. The pressing of the parties and of the more than 900 amendments presented in the Finance Committee to the Chamber started, around 300 have already been 'dismissed': from the shield for the former Ilva to the reduced VAT for sanitary napkins, most of them for extraneousness of matter.

The opposition stands up for the stop on the shield and promises battle. But the president of the commission, the pentastellata Carla Ruocco, expresses "profound indignation for this indecent political speculation on the skin of the citizens of Taranto: inhabitants and workers". "We demand respect for the autonomy and judgment of parliamentarians", replies Mauro De Barba, leader of Italia Viva in commission. "Speaking of political speculation on amendments aimed at removing ArcelorMittal's alibis and saving jobs - he warns - is not only ungenerous, but profoundly wrong".

In the end, considering also those readmitted, on the table there will remain around 600-700 proposed changes to be voted on starting next week. Requests for corrections that will in any case have to deal with the limited coverage, the subject of meetings at the MEF.

Among the proposals rejected, those to restore the penal shield for ArcelorMittal in the implementation of the environmental plan for the former Ilva. The amendments of Italia Viva (signed by Paita and Marattin) that have created tensions in the majority have also ended up under the admissibility ax. The Renzians asked to reintroduce the exemption from criminal and administrative liability for the conduct of implementation of the environmental plan of Ilva. We also stop the proposals presented by Forza Italia, at the first signing of the parent company Mariastella Gelmini, which aimed to reintroduce the exemption from criminal and administrative liability for the conduct of implementation of the environmental plan of Ilva and Fdi, at first signing Giorgia Meloni, which reintroduced the immunity penalty for the tenant or purchaser, as well as for the delegated subjects, of Ilva with reference to the implementation conduct.

The bipartisan amendment was also rejected, first signed by Laura Boldrini, who aimed to reduce VAT on all female health and hygiene products, such as internal tampons, external sanitary towels, menstrual cups and sponges, from 22 to 10%. The proposal was presented by some thirty parliamentarians, both majority and opposition. The customary attempt to work on the topic of beach concessions was also stopped. The M5s amendment was deemed inadmissible, at first signed Corneli, which suspends until December 31st 2020 the payments of the rents for bathing establishments, pending an overall revision of the system of maritime state property concessions. Not even the amendment Pd, which included rules on determining the fee for maritime state concessions, was examined. It also skips the M5s proposal for a tax deduction of up to 50%, for an expense up to 500 euros, for the purchase of personal airbag protection devices for drivers and passengers of mopeds and motorcycles. Red light also to a proposal M5s to ensure the continuity of the activities of the Anac after the departure of Raffaele Cantone and pending the appointment of a new president. From the end of October the director Francesco Merloni has assumed the functions of president of the Anac, as foreseen in the regulation of the Authority. The Anac Council will expire in July 2020.

The requests for changes that will pass to the vote range from the tightening of tenders to anti-abandon seats. The Democratic Party proposes fiscal peace for good-natured notices, even those on which the installments are already active, an attempt already made by the yellow-and-reds last year, but then renounced for problems of coverage. Italia Viva calls for the blocking of local tax increases and for canceling the tightening of penalties for large tax evaders with up to 8 years' imprisonment for those who evade more than 100,000 euros (fraudulent declaration), and an increase for the minimum duration of detention for various tax crimes. A proposal that threatens to rekindle the clash in the majority.

From all political forces comes the proposal to extend to July 1 the application of sanctions for merchants and merchants who do not accept the tax code (or the code played), thus not allowing the client to participate in the receipt lottery. All agreed, on the moratorium on fines for those who do not install the anti-abandonment alarm device on child seats for children up to 4 years: Pd and Iv request an extension to 6 March, the 5S instead until June. All the majority and opposition parties propose either the abolition or rewriting of the disputed provision on withholdings in tenders. On the table also the theme of the revival of the Pir, the individual savings plans.
