Taxes fell to pretend Penalized middle class – the Newspaper

At the end of all, the question is always one. This government has increased taxes or not? The tax burden has fallen or not? 80 Euros, much ballyhooed by Renzi, have raised consumption, but excluding taxes Italians is agreed or not? To provide a cushion to these questions in the research department of CGIA Mestre has prepared an analysis of all the regulatory measures taken in the last 19 months by the government Renzi in terms of reduction or tightening of taxes and tax contributions. Well, the answer is clear: this government has reduced taxes so both families, amounting to 7.1 billion, both on business, to 8.3 billion euro, but selectively. The middle class, in fact, we see once again pressed by tightening due to the fact that he came to 80 euro in payroll and we have seen the taxing investment income.

If it is true, A large proportion of households have benefited from the deduction of 80 euro (equal to a total expenditure for the state coffers 9.5 billion), the granting of the baby bonus (1.2 billion), personal income tax deductions for the lease of new homes (39.5 million), the reduction of the flat rate tax for leases negotiated rents (33.8 million) and tax deductions for tenants of social housing (31.8 million), it is equally true that increased – according to reports by the experts of Cgia – the taxation of financial income (2.6 billion), the IMU on mountainous terrain (268,700,000) the weight of the tax on pension funds (260 million), capital earned on life insurance (150 million) and severance pay (140 million).

“Of course – noted Paul Zabeo CGIA – data must be read carefully. The cut of € 80 went only for poor families, the baby bonus to the younger ones, while the so-called middle class was affected by the strong increase from taxation on financial income. Irap relief to businesses, however, have rewarded those with employees and the total decontribution INPS went only to those who have taken. “

For the self-employed who work alone, and who make up over 70 % of artisans and merchants, there was no advantage, while drivers were seen even increase the tax burden of 39 million euro for the reduction of standardized deductions imposed by the government.

” Okay the abolition of tax on first homes – concludes Zabeo – This measure instil confidence to families, with a likely positive impact on consumption. However, it would be desirable to find resources to lighten the tax burden on the people of VAT which in recent years has not benefited from any significant relief. “
