Goodbye Equitalia, Zanetti: “it’s Not a remission, but a help to families” – The Republic

ROME - All, but not a remission. The deputy minister of Economy, Enrico Zanetti, defends the decree approved by the Cdm in the weekend, together with the Budget law, which provides for the sunset of Equitalia: the tax collection agent will be riaccorpato to the inland Revenue and to the folders of the citizens of the debtors promises to be an amnesty from the 4 billion expected proceeds.

Mr Zanetti, satisfied? And for months, that insists on the destruction…
“I have to give credit to the president Renzi have demonstrated courage and pragmatism,” answered the deputy minister of the Economy – Qualities that have led him to go over some of the concerns of the ideological present in her party. Just as it is necessary to recognize that without the new, stronger platform’s parliamentary centre light of the government scrappage would not have made it.”

You have to do an amnesty.
“All you can say but not a remission. We remain stuck with the principle that the tax you pay up at the last euros, without any discount or forfetizzazione. And this is already an element of discrimination with respect to measures of the past.”
it Was a measure really necessary?
“it is clear that we make a choice determined and strong which leads to the resetting of penalties and default interest. That is, those elements of the folder, often with the original debt to multiply 2 or three times. We do this because we are emerging from the greatest crisis of the last century, and were made three legislative measures in the last two years, which reopened the terms for those who, in spite of the instalment payments, had failed to pay. Therefore, it is necessary to allow many families and small businesses to exit from a spiral of sanctions and afflittiva that is sinking not only them but also the economy of the country. Because it is clear that when you have so many realities that they fail to honor their debts with the inland revenue there is to the detriment of other firms and the families of the creditor”.

In the decree there is also the closure of Equitalia: you fear that it might slow down the fight against tax evasion.
“no, Absolutely not. The closure of Equitalia alone is a only a formal and organisational: it will improve the relationship with taxpayers, because it is accompanied by new rules of tax collection for the future, and this important unit for which the prior”.

it is Not that you are also thinking about a tombstone amnesty, or building?
“We want to measures the purely condonatoria we are keeping, we want to reduce the profiles afflittivi but, as to the voluntary, we ask for 100 percent of the tax due. And it is clear that this approach with the liability for the real evil is the bride, the building industry including”.
