REFORM FISCO
Milan , January 4, 2015 – 17:27
It remains a question. Who entered the norm saves Berlusconi in overall tax reform approved on Christmas Eve? Not explained Palazzo Chigi, not the premier said in his interview to Matteo Renzi TG5 where officially announced the step back on the text and not explained either the Ministry of Economy. What is certain is that the text, then published on the website of the government (with the generic title “Draft legislative decree laying down rules on the certainty of law in relations between tax authorities and taxpayers”), up to one day before the start of the free Council of Ministers of 24 December, did not contain the famous article 19 a much discussed. He explained the Economy Undersecretary Enrico Zanetti and confirm also other circumstances.
Article
Article 19a decriminalizing tax offenses, including fraud, “when the amount of income tax evaded does not exceed three percent of taxable income.” A threshold that affects Berlusconi because, net of many prescriptions that had already canceled several accusations, eventually sentencing Mediaset had been under this fateful 3%: 4.9 million of tax evaded about 410 in 2002 and 312 in 2.6 of 2013. The rule would have arrived at the last minute in the cabinet so that, apparently, was not in black and white even in the documents arrived on the desks of the technicians of the Revenue. Of all tax reforms there is in fact a close collaboration with the financial administration of the Agency and technicians directly involved on the texts that are then used to arrive at the council of ministers.
The Inland Revenue
the crime of tax evasion the same Rossella Orlandi, from less than a year at the helm of the Agency, has been in the past very clear: “It will definitely be strengthened against fraud – told the Messenger just talking the delegation tax – the difference is the existence of a fraud, a criminal association, with damage to hundreds of millions and subtraction of contracts and to the honest work. ” But in that interview had just explained that the extent of the use of the criminal was one of the hot topics of the implementation of the delegation. “I’m in this administration as much – he explained – I started in 1982 at the time of the famous law” handcuffs evaders “. I spent years of my life in the corridors of the courts. Everything was fine: the omission of a withholding, the delay of a term. Result: We clogged courts and prosecutors and we have concluded almost nothing. T hen in 2000 came a new discipline which introduced the criteria, but it goes back to 15 years ago and does not capture everything. I do not know how it will be the final text of the decrees, but I am a woman pragmatic too criminal means no criminal. ” Subject to fraud, however, on which the Orlandi had, contrary to what actually happened then, announced an enhanced contrast.
Undersecretary
And it was fraud to drive up the antennas to the Economy Undersecretary Enrico Zanetti. A resume of iron in terms of tax and duties, so much so that even before entering politics was an “expert” Ipsoa regarding taxation and company law. “I had seen the text of the decree December 23, a day before the Council of Ministers – explains -. The 24 was not there, the 25/26 I devoted myself to the family, but then the next day I went to read me the text of the decree directly on the website of the government. ” And there he noticed something wrong. “It happens frequently that there are more changes in the final text during the Council of Ministers – precise – and some changes were also very acceptable, as that the doubling of the terms of assessment. But Article 19a caught my attention because it was referring to all offenses. Decriminalization for everything, even fraud. ” From a technical, rather than the case Berlusconi, Zanetti has now challenged the principle of the law. “The idea of increasing the thresholds triggering the criminal on the misrepresentation is shareable – adds – because unfortunately in Italy there is a tax demagoguery that only causes unnecessary flooding of proxies. But going to create exemptions also fraud has left me puzzled now. ” The question, however, as confirmed by Zanetti, had been addressed at the level of technical debate precisely when formulating the decree on tax reform. “Yes, but there had been no common views on whether to apply or not even crimes of fraud. In the end it seemed that the debate was concluded in another direction. ” Namely the exclusion of fraud by decriminalization. But those who have entered the Berlusconi-saves in the final text? “It is a question that should be done at Palazzo Chigi, until 23 morning that standard was not there,” added Zanetti.
Renzi
“If anyone imagines which in this measure there is not know which exchange, no problem: we stop. ” So said Renzi to TG5 that responded well to those implied an agreement that fell within the covenant of the Nazarene. Renzi announced that the rule will be postponed “in Parliament” only after the election of the Quirinale, “after Berlusconi has completed his term in Cesano Boscone and demonstrate that there is no mess strange to fear.” What is not explained how Article 19a is finished in the text of the decree. Silence from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, which also has a head office and the legislative silence from Palazzo Chigi where the coordination of the Prime Minister and the Secretary to the President regarding regulatory activity is entrusted to Antonella Manzione, former head local police of Florence.
“Maybe – adds Zanetti – was enough to guarantee right now that, after the views of the Finance Committees of the House and Senate, the disputed provision of 3% would be inserted specifying that it applied only to crimes other than fraud. So instead freezes everything, including some right decisions and important that were taken with this decree. ”
