The Italian government is looking for money, but this is not news. The news is that Apple will pay to the Treasury 318 million euro. Finally one of the big industry has bowed to the Italian tax authorities: after having pressed taxpayers weaker now up to those who have always sheltered from taxation. It seems that the Executive has managed to apply the golden rule of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi: “all pay, pay less.” That is the first step to a subsequent reduction to the benefit of citizens who are in the last year growing labor taxes on consumption and on the house (despite the abolition for the next year)?
lawyers of the Cupertino company, writes Republic, have reached an agreement with the Inland Revenue to close a dispute that lasted months to remedy a tax evasion of almost a billion accepting all the exceptions filed by Italian authorities and paying what is required in the assessment reports. According to the mechanism dell’esterovestizione, Apple would have to budget in Ireland as sales in Italy in order to pay less taxes.
parallel moved the Milan judiciary who last spring sent to the CEO of Apple Italy, Enzo Biagini, the finance director, Mauro Cardaio and a number of Apple Sales International (Irish company to which is responsible for all activities EMEA), Michael O’Sullivan, a warrant on charges of “non-declaration of income” from 2008 to 2013 for 880 million euro of IRES processed. For the deputy prosecutor Francesco Greek and the prosecutor Adriano Squires, Apple Italy would “structure detached from the auxiliary activities carried out by the resident company, which plays a real sales activities in the territory on behalf of Apple Sales International.” However for the leaders investigated the agreement with the tax authorities does not erase the procedural position, while relieving it.
Apple is not the only one. In the same situation it would shed another multinational of the same caliber: Google. The Milan prosecutors had challenged the company founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin a maxievasione the same amount. Again, the Inland Revenue would be dealing with the leaders of the Italian world number one search engine. The figure to close the slope should be around 150 million. The list would also Amazon, the e-commerce giant, which manages the Old Continent through an office in Luxembourg where taxation is more favorable, as in Ireland, and allows you to avoid paying hundreds of millions of euro of taxes.
consequence would giants, who have so far dodged taxes in Italy, to start a new phase in the reduction of taxes. Could it be that such new tax revenues of several Apple, Google, Amazon compensate for lower revenues for the abolition of taxation on first homes. Besides, next year the entrance treasuries lose considerable: with the advance of June and the balance in December between IMU and Tasi Italians have paid into the public coffers a total of EUR 24.8 billion, of which 19 , 8000000000 and 5000000000 for the IMU for Tasi (3.7 billion for the first house).
