Because the accountants ask for a Dpcm to postpone the tax deadlines
A new Dpcm to extend the tax deadlines once again. Entrepreneurs do not ask for it (in any case in enormous difficulty if we consider that, according to the II Barometer Censis-accountants on the trend of the economy , the pandemic could close in 2021 about 460,000 small and medium-sized enterprises with less than 10 employees and under 500,000 euros in turnover for a turnover of 80 billion and almost a million jobs) but the category of accountants.
WHAT THE COMMERCIALISTS ASK
The studies do not ask to kick the ball away, but at least to postpone the upcoming obligations, which the government has postponed for Covid and accumulated all in a few weeks, at the end of the year. Starting with those concerning the deadline of November 30, 2020 for the presentation of annual returns for the purposes of income taxes and IRAP.
STUDIES IN SERIOUS DIFFICULTY
Not only the past slips, no longer postponed, have led to concentrating the workload of a whole year in a few weeks, but many studies, the accountants note, have to deal with Covid-19 firsthand and are closing due to illness or have multiple employees in fiduciary isolation. This, in short, is the panorama outlined in the letter that the national president of the category, Massimo Miani , sent to Roberto Gualtieri , the owner of the department in via XX Settembre.
WHAT TRADERS WRITE TO GUALTIERI
“As you well know – writes Miani – article 12 paragraph 5 of the Legislative Decree 9 July 1997, n. 241, allows you to modify "the terms regarding the obligations" of taxpayers, substitutes and tax managers "relating to taxes and contributions referred to in this decree", where this is appropriate to take into account "the general needs of taxpayers, substitutes and tax managers or administration needs ". This modification can be made “by decree of the President of the Council of Ministers, on the proposal of the competent Minister”.
THE DIFFICULTIES COMPLAINED BY THE COMMERCIALISTS
“Currently – continues Miani – a situation of objective impediment to work is occurring in many professional firms, deriving from the full-blown illness of Covid 19 or the need for prudential isolation, concerning both professionals and their collaborators. This situation was also acknowledged by the Law Decree of 28 October 2020 n. 137 (so-called "Refreshments Decree"), where in article 9 it established a first postponement of the deadline for the declaration of tax substitutes from 30 October to 10 December 2020 ". Hence the request of the Accountants to issue a Dpcm, as a "bridge measure" "pending the issuance of a more precise legislative discipline regarding the effects of the Covid 19 disease concerning professionals on the administrative, fiscal and contributory obligations entrusted to them ". “We do not ask that what is impossible to do be done – concludes Miani – but we ask that everything that is possible be done”.
