The “fiscal amine” policy of the Draghi government. Mancette carried away by taxes and expenses …

The Draghi government has taken the grain of a tax reform which in the end had as its main objective, for now missing, that of taxing buildings more with a revision of the land registry. For the rest, the current government decisions seem to be those of the classic Italian government, with the addition of a pinch of creativity typical of governments facing the fiscal obstacle:

WHY 200 EURO FOR ALL? The government has decided on a " general bonus " of 200 euros primarily for all workers, and now for all, including the unemployed and retired people. A tip of 200 euros for 28 million Italians. What sense do they make? 200 euros is not even a new bimonthly electricity and gas bill for most Italian families. Instead, 5.6 billion euros are thrown away. Wouldn't it have been better, for example, to concentrate it on energy investments, such as the reactivation of national production or, through ENI, investments in safe countries where to activate energy sources? Instead, everyone is given a tip. Does the election year make itself felt?

THE CAR INCENTIVES ARE BACK, FOR A SECTOR THAT IS NO MORE: The scrapping bonuses are back . To be exact , 650 million euros a year for the three-year period 2022/2024. Contributions of up to three thousand euros are envisaged for cars of Euro 6, plus another two thousand euros in the event of the possible scrapping of another vehicle of a class lower than Euro 5. Similar incentives, albeit restricted, for motorcycles. Well good bis, you need to have cars that consume less, and that will encourage a sector in which almost nothing is left of Italian. It will be the foreign majors or those with tax offices in havens that will enjoy it.

ONE HAND GIVES, THE OTHER TAKES OFF. Bad news for those who live in failing provincial capitals . These capitals will be able to sign a repayment plan with the state, with the provision of an installment in the payment of the debt, but provided that they come to "resolve on the increase in the municipal additional income tax, in derogation of the limit established" by the law, in measure not less than 0.2%. After Naples, Reggio Calabria, Palermo and Turin, the cities of Salerno, Chieti, Potenza, Rieti, Vibo Valentia, Lecce, Catanzaro, Andria, Alessandria, Avellino, Agrigento, Frosinone, Brindisi and Nuoro will also be able to sign these re-entry agreements with the state. , certainly making its citizens pay more taxes. The government gives with one hand and takes with the other.

Then other "Mancette": a bonus of 60 euros for public transport subscriptions for students and workers, a shortage of 20 million for the agricultural sector, literally a few euros per company, and a reduction in the fund for companies affected by the war from 200 to 130 millions. Quisquillie, pinzillacchere, of a government that is now on the way to being "seaside". Worse than in the seventies, when investments got serious.
