Brain drain: get the bonus of 30% IRPEF for 5 years. But … – News Free

Rome, July 18, 2015 – After years of tax shelter for including the capital, the government Renzi is working to bring within another type of capital, not just money but something that is worth more: the Italian citizen who studied and so as to deserve the must is forced to remedy in foreign structures, a phenomenon known as “brain drain”.

 

 

As required by a new provision of the tax decree on the internationalization of enterprises, who returned to Italy will have a discount of 30% income tax for five years for all income produced in Italy from workers “with high qualifications “.

According to reports will have access to the incentive anyone in the five previous years have not been resident in Italy, they fulfill a work primarily in Italian territory and who hold a qualification for which both require a high degree of specialization and the title.

The aim of the legislative decree on internationalization is to strengthen the role that the tax authorities must play to support businesses who decide to work abroad: reducing the restrictions on cross-border transactions and create a regulatory framework as more reliable and transparent for investors. The decree will now return to Parliament for the acquisition of the final opinions of the parliamentary committees.

But it should be? This decree, for the conditions that arise, does not seem to be applicable to many scientists working in prestigious universities abroad and that “economically inactive mainly in Italy”.

Also in itself a tax reduction could not enough to convince our worthy compatriots to return to a country where, probably, the tax burden is already lower than ours.

In Italy what we lack are the conditions that made them “flee abroad “meritocracy of rewards and not for recommendations, major universities of excellence, more scientific research in all fields, chapters in recent years have been humiliated by cuts linear continuous forgetting that Italy has been home of the greatest scientists and men of culture in the history of the world.

The feeling is that it is a decree tailoring, tailored to specific cases and that does not solve a structural problem but we would like to acknowledge that we’re wrong.
