Revenue agency, scrapping alarm: « Risks for revenue if you allow you not to pay 7 installments »

For the scrapping of tax collection folders There is no peace. On the one hand, the parties of the majority, binds in the head, with the vocation to the amnesty and on the other theRevenue Agency which puts the sticks in the wheels of the electoral promises. The cold shower arrives today March 27 from the hearing of the director of the Revenue Agency, Vincenzo Carbonein the Finance Commission of the Senate on the tax warehouse and on the DDL which also contains the rules on scrapping. 40% of the tax warehouse, said the president, is unrecoverable, while from Scrapping-quater They can reach a maximum of 38.5 billion. And as regards the new scrapping, the Quinques« The introduction of a flexibility mechanism » which allows « not to pay up to 7 installments without incurring the » forfeiture « , it could determine, shortly and medium term, negative financial effects». This new intervention insisted Carbone, could lead to « an anomalous situation » with the « risk of an instrumental use of the institute by the debtors and the consequential increase of the already high » decadence « rates recorded in previous facilitated definition measures ».

The amnesties push to escape

The hearing of Carbone arrives in the aftermath of those of the parliamentary office of the budget and court of the accounts who, in the same way, have in fact raised doubts about the new fiscal peace, also highlighting them as The series of amnesties introduced by the government somehow push taxpayers to escapemaking the state lose money without affecting the mountain of credits not collected in the last 25 years: as of 31 December the residual accounting load of the roles entrusted by the various creditors reached a share 1,279.8 billion euros.

Carbone: « Difficult recovering for 40% of residual credits »

The situation, however, aggravated with the « decadence » on the warehouse of the scrapping-quater, for which, among other things, The possibility of requesting readmission has been introduced For those who on 31 December last did not regularly pay the plan foreseen by the facilitated definition. At the end of last year, the amount received was 12.2 billion euros, with a rate of « decadence » even equal to 49%as Vincenzo Carbone still pointed out. « In the event that taxpayers with rates in progress should continue regularly in the payment of the amounts due to the deadlines envisaged », specified the director of the agency, « the overall impact of the scrapping-quater on the warehouse can be estimated in a maximum value of about 38.5 billion ». But as mentioned at the beginning, 40% of these residual credits appear « difficult to recover for the subjective conditions of the taxpayer ». Then there is the theme of recurrences: Over 77% of the 10 million Italians who receive a folder every year have played registrations in the previous three years. In total, there is talk of 22.3 million taxpayers (equal to about 72%), of which about 3.5 million legal persons (companies, foundations, bodies, associations, etc.) and the remaining 18.8 million natural persons, of which 2.9 million between craftsmen and freelancers.

Collection has no access to the revenue database

Of the notices, then, only 20% are regularized immediately, while 25% are paid in 4/5 times with the installment. That’s why Carbone asks the government that The Collection Agency can acquire elements from the Databases of the Instrait Agencyand at the moment it does not have access (incredible that the two entities do not speak to each other), as well as for the database on electronic billing for which access is limited to the « institutional activity » alone. But the drop in the staff also weighs on the collection, which went from over 8 thousand resources to less than 7 thousand.

43% of the debts are under 1,000 euros

Returning to non -collected credits, « from the analysis of the 33 million credits entrusted annually », explained Carbone, « it is clear that About 64%, of an amount of less than 500 euros, are largely (for two thirds) attributable to registrations carried out by Municipalities, Regions and other bodies other than the Treasury and by the public social security bodies», While » the credits of an amount greater than 50 thousand euros are, vice versa, mostly (86%) entrusted by the Revenue Agency « . And even if it must be said that About 43% of the 22.3 million taxpayers with debts to be collected « presents residual debts lower than 1,000 eurosequal to 0.2% of the total residual load « , and which about 87% of the value of the warehouse refers to less than 6% of taxpayers with a total debt greater than 100 thousand euros, the enormity of these figures remains an embarrassment for Italy in front of all Europe. And, therefore, a fifth scrapping without stakes as the League would like would probably be further blow to a system already concretely in deep crisis and unable to impose taxpayers who were re -entitled to pay the due.
