The Revenue Agency launches an anti-corruption plan which provides for an email to collect complaints from employees. "The phenomenon is limited, but we will make it disappear", explained the director of the Agency, Rossella Orlandi, who then invited the workers to report "with courage", because "they will be protected. It is not a denunciation, but if we are in an office we know if something is wrong. And true evil, as Don Mazzi says, is in those who look and let pass”.
The Agency is “working on a national plan against corruption – added the number one of the Italian tax authorities -. I have foreseen that there is not limited to e-mail, but that there is a real listening center, with people who collect complaints and who provide assistance".
The president of the Anti-Corruption Authority also took the same line: "We need to implement the rules for the whistleblower envisaged by the consolidated text of civil servants - said Raffaele Cantone -, to allow those who want to report wrongdoing to do so in a protected way".
As for the delegated decree implementing the tax reform on sanctions, which will be launched shortly, according to Orlandi it is necessary to provide for "an extension of the statute of limitations for the most insidious cases of evasion: if not doubling for all types, at least an extension , so that the necessary time is allowed to prevent complex investigations from being frustrated by the statute of limitations".
As for the Italian companies that pay taxes abroad, Orlandi recalled that "there is freedom to move one's headquarters to where the business is", however "after the return of the Prada group there are others that are considering return. We need a little pride in belonging to the country”. Finally, a dig at FCA: "In Germany there are rates like the Italian ones - concluded the director of the Revenue Agency - yet I don't think anyone imagined that Mercedes could leave Germany".
