In the South they pay more taxes: sets another cliché – The Daily

->

The data published November 21, 2015 from CGIA Mestre ditched indisputably one of the flagships of the rhetoric antimeridionale: in the South are pay less taxes .

It should be noted, with depressing clarity, that “ The families of Italian harass living at Reggio Calabria. In 2015 the total weight of personal income tax, additional municipal and regional income surtax, Tasi, and Tari car tax amounts to 7,684 euro. In second place in this ranking we find Naples in Campania capital taxes that burden on the average household weigh 7,658 Euros. The third place is occupied by Salerno: the fiscal effort required for families living in this city is 7,648 Euros. At the foot of the podium are placed Messina (7,590 EUR), Rome (EUR 7,588), Syracuse (7,555 euro), Catania (7,547 euro) and Latin America (EUR 7,540). The first city in the North Genoa that “square” in thirteenth place, with 7,405 Euros. The city less harass, however, are located in the Northeast: 4 well in the last six positions are occupied by municipalities Veneto and Friuli: Verona (7,061 Euros), Vicenza (6,986 euro), Padua (6,929 euro) and Udine (6,901 euro) . “

The difference between the tax paid and those paid on Udine amount to 783 euro. In the document the unjustified gap in the treatment of citizens is called “ a real injustice ” and never definition was more appropriate.

The study, entering into the merits of the differential He says that “ A burden on the pockets of the citizens of South weigh, in particular, additional regional income tax and Tari “. The motivation? It is found in the fact that the southern regions have a strong deficit healthcare , which requires them to apply maximum rates to tackle the deficit. In addition to the percentage of recycling, still low in many municipalities.

What conclusions drawn from the data? First, that, for the inhabitants of the south of the country, the lack of infrastructure, the unpleasant phenomena such as pilgrimages and the lack of health services to citizens than the local counterparts of the North are added to injury by being in front of an imposition tax nabobs. Moreover, compared with a per capita GDP much lower.

Only in July this year the SVIMEZ remember the “ to record gap of 53.7% GDP per capita [in the South] than the rest of the country “. The sum of the effects, needless to say, amplifies the severity of the tax gap highlighted by CGIA Mestre on lower incomes of the south . On the other hand, it must be said that these effects of Fiscal federalism on the South show how the recipe federalist, without a system of counterweights, is designed to broaden the already very serious gaps in the country.

Finally, especially in the South, it would be appropriate to be less severe attention deficit and control by the electorate on the work of the local political class. It’s about time that citizenship begins to exert tighter control on the figures, just as the extent of taxation to which it is subject and the quality of services offered. We need more transparency on the results of the management of public affairs, particularly at local level.
