Deputy Premier, Foreign Minister and
centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia (FI) leader said
Friday his party was dead set against levying new taxes a day
after Economy Minister and rightwing League party heavyweight
Giancarlo Giorgetti said the 2025 budget would require
sacrifices from everyone and implied that new taxes would be
levied on business profits and personal incomes.
"No new taxes, we are totally against imposing new taxes. There
have been some misinterpretations of some words said yesterday"
by Minister Giorgetti, but "as long as we are in government
there will be no new taxes for Italians", said Tajani, speaking
to journalists on the sidelines of the industrial employers
group Confindustria assembly in Bari.
Giorgetti on Thursday said the budget law will imply "sacrifices
from everyone".
Addressing Bloomberg's event Future of Finance Italy, the
minister said "we will be approving a budget that will require
sacrifices from everyone".
He added that this means "taxing profits and revenue, and it
will be an effort that the entire country must support which
means individuals, but also small, medium and large companies".
