by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea June 24, 2020 The government plans to seek authorization for a new budget shift by the first half of July to ease the tax burden on businesses. This was announced by Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri, to the Chamber Budget Committee, focusing on the economic crisis that hit companies due to the emergency caused by Covid-19.

In mid-July there will be the launch of a new decree to further postpone tax compliance: "We consider it appropriate to modify the extension scheme" of the tax deadlines and "we intend to intervene to further dilute the deferred tax payments in order to lighten the tax burden for companies that have suffered the most from the impact of Coronavirus and the economic crisis". underlined the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri. "Anything that goes beyond 2020 has a budgetary impact and therefore will have to be carried out on the basis of a spending authorization but it is a necessary intervention to reduce the tax burden on the companies most affected", added the minister. 

As for the law of the  CIG dl which will flow into the Relaunch dl and which gives the Minister of Economy the opportunity to remodel resources, such as communicating vessels, among the various measures contained in the anti-Covid decrees, Gualtieri has specified: "I hope that the text be improved, incorporating the parliamentary passage and mechanisms suggested by parliamentarians of the Constitutional Affairs Committee ". It is not a question, pointed out the owner of Via XX Settembre: "To arbitrarily allocate the resources that would be unheard of but to guarantee that sufficient resources can be available" for the laws passed. The rule, he added, serves "to ensure that if one measure pulls more and one less" there is the possibility of "moving resources not to change the objectives of the law but to ensure their application", moreover it is a rule that is has been approved "also in Cura Italia. The difference is that there are now various decrees and it was useful for the more efficient allocation of resources to be able to modulate them and perhaps direct those that advance on the one hand to allow timely use of the subjective rights that the law established otherwise there would have been the "tap or click day" mechanism. I was "surprised", he stressed, the controversy over this rule "present in various Italian measures, proposed and approved by the previous government to allow communicating vessels between quota 100 and citizenship income ".

Minister Gualtieri also pointed out that he considers the IMF's estimate pessimistic because there are already tangible effects on the economy." We are with aware of the downside risks " of the GDP but" we will update the official forecast shortly "and" we believe it is wrong to exaggerate in a pessimistic key because the reopening of the economy is already producing tangible effects "pointing out:" Our assessments are not as pessimistic as those example of the IMF today, moreover for all European countries ".

During the hearing of the Minister of Economy on the relaunch dl there were three sitting suspensions in less than an hour in the Budget Committee in the Chamber. The tussle of some opposition deputies in fact prompted President Claudio Borghi to suspend the session.

The  League has specified that: we will vote yes to the new budget variance only if it will be shared with the oppositions while from Forza Italia there is no willingness to vote for a new budget variance "closed box". "The country has already experienced the season of experts, task forces, events such as those of Villa Pamphilj: we hope that with the Minister's presence today in the Budget Committee this season will be definitively closed" said Mariastella Gelmini , president of the group of Forza Italia in the Chamber of Deputies, speaking in the Budget Commission in Montecitorio, during the hearing of Minister Gualtieri. "The centrality of the Parliament must return , starting right - he added - from the Relaunch Decree that we are examining: the comparison cannot be only formal, also because the measures passed so far have been made possible by the vote of the oppositions on the Budget deviations And in this regard, I want to reiterate that Forza Italia will not vote for a third closed box variance ". "It is crucial, as far as we are concerned, that in addition to full transparency on the next deviation and the use of resources that may come from Europe, concrete answers are given on the postponement of tax deadlines, for which we are already fighting from the Cura Italia decree, on equal schools, on non-repayable contributions also to professionals. And on sectors that are fundamental for our economy such as the automotive and tourism sectors, "he concluded.
