Salvini: “Italians hostage to taxes, in addition to the justice reform we need a definitive fiscal peace”

“In addition to the justice reform, a great and definitive fiscal peace between the tax authorities and taxpayers is essential, to free millions of Italians held hostage by the Revenue Agency for too many years”. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, in Matera, on the sidelines of a visit to the Mermec-Ferrosud plant. «In my opinion, total tax evaders can go to jail and throw away the key – added Salvini – but if someone has a problem of up to 30,000 euros that has been dragging on for years, let’s close it. We ask him for a part and we cancel everything else»

The reaction of the Pd
«Citizens hostage to the Revenue Agency. Fighting tax evasion as a state lace. The promise of a definitive fiscal peace, which follows another definitive fiscal peace, which follows grave pardons of all kinds and types, proving that when evasion is legitimized it never stops. The words of Salvini, minister of a government that provides for the use of facilitated definitions (evidently not definitive) among the principles of the delegation of his tax reform, are not surprising », declared Maria Cecilia Guerra, head of Labor of the Democratic Party.

When Meloni said: “No to state protection money for small traders”
The minister’s words are essentially in line with what Prime Minister Meloni has been claiming for some time, who in May had defined taxes as “state lace”. In Catania for the electoral campaign Meloni had said: «The left says that we are throwing in the towel on evasion. Never. But the fight against evasion is done to the big companies, to the banks. Not to the small traders you ask for the State protection money from”.
