Assofondipensione against severance pay in payroll and tax increase

The annual assembly of Assodonfipensione will be held this morning at 10, at Roma Eventi in Piazza di Spagna. Thereassociation, which brings together Confindustria, Confcommercio, Confservizi, Confcooperative, Legacoop, Agci, Cgil, Cisl, Uil and Ugl and which represents over two million workers registered in the category funds, is ready to give battle up to the European Courts against the rules that threaten the development of supplementary pension provision and the retirement savings of taxpayers and in particular il TFR in payroll and the increase in the taxation of returns from supplementary pension funds.
 
The theme offered for debate in the official program is extremely topical for taxpayers and for the entire world of work: "What is the state of the art of supplementary pensions in Italy and why, all of a sudden, do we want to discourage it?" .
 
The provisions on the severance indemnity and on the taxation of pension funds, contained in the stability bill that is about to be discussed in the Senate after the approval in the Chamber, in fact arouse great concern in the association that brings together the contractual pension funds, born from sector or category between employers and trade unions, to which over two million workers belong.
 
For Assofondipensione, the Shareholders' Meeting is an opportunity to take a strong position against the measures, which are considered penalizing for pension savings and a threat of destabilization of the supplementary pension system which today has reached a good degree of maturity. 
 
Assofondipensione is ready to go all the way, bringing the question to the scrutiny of the national judges and the Community Courts, also to counter the retroactivity of the increase in taxation on pension funds, which according to the stability bill will have to be applied to the whole of 2014. An imposition considered a disfigurement to the protection of the citizen's custody because it is an exception to article 3 of the taxpayer's statute and to the general principles of the legal system. 
 
The initiative will also be an opportunity for a survey of the state of the art of contractual pension funds, of the main experiences of collective bargaining adopted in support of supplementary pensions and of the policies implemented to date for the development of socially sustainable finance.
