The tax burden in Italy is at a particularly high level and this has traditionally been attributed both to the extraordinary size of the debt, which the underground economy.
According to Istat, 2009, the Italian tax burden is 43.2%. It 's the highest level since 1997, when the tax burden reaches 43.7% of GDP, the highest level ever. MEF estimated for 2010 include a decrease of 0.4 percentage points of GDP for 2012-2013 and is expected to further decline by 0.4 points to reach the level of 42.4% in 2013. Eurostat data from 2009
place Italy in 6th place after France, but recorded an annual reduction of 1.2 percentage points of GDP. Italy overcomes that Finland has been decreasing by 0.1 points of GDP. Overall, at European level, the tax burden falls by 0.8 percentage points of GDP.
43.2% of 2009 tax burden is the tax burden of 29.1 and 14.1 of pressure to pay. In European comparison, mainly limited to the euro countries, shows an excess of tax burden in 2009 is expressed in a + 4.5 points of GDP on average. If we examine the first five European countries, Italy has the highest tax burden (United Kingdom 27.8% France 25.1% Germany 23.7%, Spain 18.7%), while contributions to pressure Italy is superseded by France (18.4%) and Germany (17 , 1%).
In this situation, the tax reform is one of the key to reviving growth in the country. He also stressed the Head of State in his New Year message, even if the employees work is not new. It is hoped that in the near future we can truly lay the foundation to achieve a tax reform and widely endorsed. A tax reform that has among its main objectives are to lead to a fair taxation, efficient and consistent, not to mention the simplification of the tax system, through more systematic in the production rules, which should be directed to the creation and maintenance of single texts and the minimization of the compliance documents required for taxpayers. Of course the major reforms, including the tax would require a more peaceful and political climate in this period, with the current political climate, there is no horizon, no tax reform. We are in the presence of a pure announcement effect, since there are no short-depth consideration of the conditions for that, technically consistent and effective long-term need for reform regulated directions. I believe that the policy should be able to delegate the work of preparation, the major tax reforms, in fact, born in parliament, but through the work entrusted to a few investigations that have the technical competence to carry out deep economic and legal considerations.
must however be clear that, to arrive at the tax reform should address the problem of reducing the public debt and current expenditure, because it is from here that will be retrieved the resources necessary to rewrite the tax system. Should avoid going forward with blows of incoherent reforms, changing the tax law in a mad whirl in which no one sees the end more a sense of fairness that would per il cittadino meno amara l’obbligazione tributaria e meno difficile il rapporto tra contribuente ed Erario. Va garantita la certezza delle regole per rilanciare la fiducia. E’ un’esigenza che soprattutto noi che svolgiamo attività di assistenza e consulenza in ambito tributario, ci scontriamo ogni giorno con un livello di complessità inutile che determina mille micro-adempimenti e autentiche perdite di tempo. Serve infine fermezza nella lotta all’evasione, senza dimenticare la giustizia tributaria, evitando di pensare solo alla riscossione dei tributi. La speranza è che non si continui a fare confusione tra efficienza (che attiene al rapporto tra fisco e contribuente a 360 grafi e in modo bidirezionale) e ferocia (che attiene alla sola efficacia nella riscossione dei tributi). Cosa ci aspettiamo dalla riforma fiscale?. L’aspettativa è fortissima, ma siamo incatenati ad un livello di spesa e di entrate che ci penalizzano. Su questo la politica promette, promette, ma non riesce a fare nulla. Nella nicchia di bassa crescita si annidano infine rendite di posizione; sicuramente anche le grandi imprese e le grandi banche non sarebbero contente di interventi tesi ad innalzare il tax rate reale, molto più basso rispetto alle piccole e medie imprese.
