VAT rise OK if part of tax reform-Boccia

(ANSA) - Milan, April 16 - Confindustria President Vincenzo Boccia said Tuesday that the industrial confederation could accept an increase in value added tax if it were part of a broader reform of the fiscal system. "Parts of our sector would't like it," Boccia said. "But fair attention to the world of production and the so-called weak parts of society could be a reform that makes sense".
