Maneuver, Durigon “Tax wedge cut becomes structural”

ROME (ITALPRESS) – “It may not be clear, but the tax wedge cut with this maneuver becomes structural. And we still have to hear that this maneuver does not give prospects….” Claudio Durigon, undersecretary of Labor and deputy federal secretary of the League, says this in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “This is a maneuver full of future. And despite what the oppositions say, all indicators-including those of the Pnrr-certify that the government is working well,” he continues.Regarding cuts in ministries’ spending, the undersecretary explains, “I do not believe that for 3 billion in total cuts we will see ministers wearing helmets. A spending review, a re-examination of projects with a view to preserving the ones with the greatest perspective, is normal, as well as right. “And on the tax system: “We think you cannot raise taxes. But the moment there are activities with higher revenues, perhaps due to factors such as inflation, I think there can be collaboration to build a more functional taxation for the country. I would take the phrase extra-profits out of the vocabulary. The dialogue is open, as it is with banks and large corporations on how to participate in a shared taxation. Of course, without invading the field of economic and financial markets. Just as we also want collaboration with the web giants, which from Covid onward have had incredible numbers, to create the conditions for a different regime.”
