Renzi fly with local taxes – the Journal

Rome – the government that boasts of flash reforms, when it’s time to cut taxes empty the sea with a spoon. The latest confirmation comes from the study of the UIL on local taxation. The few cuts are not sufficient to restart the engine of the local economy. And most are often paid by local authorities that are based on the then Italian. That in 2015 they paid 49 billion local taxes, seven more than in 2013. It poured a 16.7% increase, over the years of Letta and Renzi governments, years in which the GDP growth was practically nil. Milking, without foresight, a union all’asciutto.Il cow was then exercised on a typical family to understand the real impact of the price rises. A family that has 24 thousand euro of income, a first home 80 square meters and a small second home or inherited a warehouse, including shelled out additional, IMU, Tasi and waste tax 1,969 euro in 2015. Before Renzi care, in 2013, the same family paid 308 euro less, modulated according to the city: the exorbitant tax ranking is headed by Rome, followed by Naples, Turin and Milan. Specifically, in 2015 the typical household has pourer 937 euro for IMU and Tasi (+72 compared to 2013), 389 € for additional regional (+27 euro), those municipalities for 156 euro (+28 euro), and finally the rate waste for another 296 euro average (+23 EUR). He deserves a special mention the issue of heavy taxes on the house. The Monti government has used it as a real, tough, asset. A blow that has curbed consumption. According to a 2015 study published by lavoce.info and signed by Paolo Surico, the Bank of England adviser, and Richard Trezzi, professor of economics at Cambridge, the taxes on the house have caused a decline in the propensity to buy non-durable goods equal to 5 cents for every euro paid out and 43 cents per euro for durable goods. Successive governments in Monti pledged in a waltz of changes to the shape of these taxes, but the substance remains the same: a blow. In most ballet of Tasi, IMU, mini Imu, he has generated more confusion and doubts among taxpayers that instead would need to be reassured about the future to come back to spend. Recently, the Democratic Party has even boasted of the posters had abolished the Tasi on the first house, forgetting that had been introduced by the government Renzi. Moreover that extent, explains the secretary of Uil Guglielmo Loy, will give some benefit in 2016, but is likely to be thwarted by other price increases, given that “the blocking of increases in local taxes is not about Tari and local rates, as kindergartens and school canteens and then the regions could raise the personal income tax to cover additional healthcare holes. ” Just two days ago Maria Elena Boschi promised “new cuts in the tax burden for 2016,” working “on public spending.” If the premises are those described by the UIL, there is to be happy.
