April 17, 2021 In 2020 the tax burden rose to 43.1%, the same threshold reached in 2014, just 0.3 percentage points from the historical record recorded in 2013. The Cgia of Mestre notes this, underlining that the tax burden is given by the ratio between tax revenues and contributions to GDP. The increase of 0.7 percentage points compared to 2019 is largely attributable to the collapse of GDP which fell by 8.9% last year. Tax and social security revenues also suffered a sharp drop in revenue (-6.3%). In absolute terms, the tax authorities, INPS and social security funds collected 711 billion euros, 48.3 billion less than what was recorded in 2019. For the CGIA,it is clear that the overall tax burden on households and businesses is a major problem. It was before the pandemic, let alone now, with many companies at risk of closure and with many people slipping towards the poverty line. 



Also for these reasons, the Artisans from Mestre once again reiterate that the provision of new support to micro and small businesses that the Draghi Government is developing these days must be accompanied by a zeroing of the tax burden for the current year. Otherwise there is a risk that, once collected, these reimbursements will be immediately returned to the State in the form of taxes, fees and contributions. A game of tour that has already occurred last year that for many entrepreneurs has represented a real joke.



This general cut in taxes and revenue for the current year would cost the tax authorities between 28/30 billion euros. An estimate that was calculated assuming to allow all economic activities with a turnover in 2019 of less than one million euros not to pay personal income tax, IRES and IMU on the warehouses for the current year. These companies, which amount to about 4.9 million units (equal to about 89% of the national total), should still pay local taxes, so as not to cause liquidity problems to the Mayors and Presidents of the region.



In addition to the zeroing of taxes, the Cgia Studies Office hopes that the Executive will put on the table at least another 50 billion euros by next July, which will allow it to reimburse the losses to a greater extent than what has been done so far. suffered by companies and allow entrepreneurs to compensate a good part of the fixed costs incurred. The latter modalities that France and Germany have been applying for a few months, having implemented the new provisions introduced by the EU on state aid to businesses. Costs, the fixed ones, which, despite the obligation to close and the consequent zeroing of revenues, the economic activities continue to sustain. This important effort, for the CGIA, must be made by the summer, a period in which,thanks to the effects of the vaccination campaign and the climatic conditions, the pandemic should be left behind.
