Audit Court calls for end to tax debt amnesties

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 28 - The State Audit Court on Wednesday called for an end to the use in Italy of amnesties for tax debtors because they are unjust.
    Joint Chambers Coordinating president Enrico Flaccadoro highlighted the "need to definitively abandon the use of measures that offer, due to the difficulties of recovering (unpaid) tax and due to budget needs, the facilitated settlement of registered debt" on grounds that, "in addition to having a negative impact in terms of equity and the individual contribution to the financing of public services, they risk leading to further inequities".
    The various amnesties introduced between 2016 and 2018 "saw the presentation of more than 4.1 million applications to a total of 53.8 billion euros in expected revenue, of which more than 33.6 billion was then not paid", said Flaccadoro during the parity judgment on the 2022 state accounts.
