Salvini points to the "Flat Tax" for families, the 5S do not believe it

For the leader of the League Matteo Salvini la Flat Tax it's a priority, and the covers are there. Contrasting opinions within the governing majority. The pentastellates do not believe that the necessary resources can be found to extend the "flat tax" also to families. About 60 are the billions of euros needed to get the measure off the ground, according to a study by the MEF.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte intervened to calm the minds, in the usual role of mediator: "The Flat Tax is in the government contract and surely must be completed, I do not have a project on the table, the political forces are working on it and we will find a solution ".

Even the Minister of Economy and Finance Giovanni Tria intervened to clarify the position of his department: "There is no estimate made on a reform that neither I nor the Mef have ever received. There is no study by the Mef that would have calculated the cost of a "Dual Tax with rates of 59,3% for incomes up to 15 thousand euros and 80% for higher income at 20 billion".

The order of magnitude, in reality, is likely; but it would be the gross cost of simply reducing tax rates. But in the account, according to what Il Sole24Ore reports, we must also consider the debit and credit created by the fact that the new rates would lead to a complete revision of the system of deductions and deductions.

Salvini believes with conviction, however, that about 12-13 billion are enough to start, according to the analyzes made by his economic advisor Armando Siri. Siri could soon meet Minister Tria to discuss the matter and numbers.

However, good news comes from theInland Revenue where the fight against tax evasion in 2018 produced the recovery of 16,2 billion euros thanks to controls, collection activities and the sending of letters and notices to taxpayers.
