(AGI) – With a tax at European level, each Italian would save € 557 a year. Savings, amounting, in overall terms, to 34 billion euro. This result is now the Research Office of the CGIA Mestre that, taking a cue from the Italian proposal to establish a European-wide super minister of Finance, should, at least theoretically, also harmonize the tax systems of the 19 countries using the single currency . By performing a purely academic exercise, the association of small craftsmen, he suggested the following: if Italians had applied the same tax burden that weighs currently among the countries using the euro, the benefits for all of us would be very obvious pockets . In the Eurozone, the highest tax burden is found in France. In Paris, the overall weight of taxes, duties, taxes and social security contributions amounted to 48.1 percent of GDP. Followed by Belgium with 47.3 percent, Finland with 43.9 percent, Austria and, in fifth place, Italy. In 2014 (the last year in which you can make the comparison) the tax burden in our country stood at 43.6 percent of GDP. The average of the 19 that use the single currency, however, has stabilized at 41.5 percent; 2.1 points less than here. “To pay less taxes – says the research office coordinator Paul Zabeo – it is necessary that the government is acting on the front of the rationalization of public spending by cutting waste, waste and inefficiencies in public machine”. In comparison, the Research Office of the CGIA also calculated the higher or lower payments which, on a per capita, “we discount” compared to what occurs elsewhere. Well, if the taxation in our country was in line with the European average, as argued above every Italian would have saved 557 EUR in 2014. By comparison with Germany, however, it shows that we pay on average € 1,141 a year more compared to the Germans. Similarly, we pay € 1,593 more than the Dutch, € 1,779 more than the Portuguese, 2,389 Euros in most of the Spanish and well 3,531 euro more than the Irish. Only transalpine cousins (+ 1,195 EUR), the Belgians (+982 euro) and the Finns (+80 euro), are called to make fiscal effort superior to ours.
