Cadastre, new postponement for the reform: it risks increasing taxes

The simulations prepared by the Revenue Agency on cadastral revaluations worry Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who wants to see clearly before launching the decree scheduled for today in the Council of Ministers (the delegation expires on June 27) - The goal is the invariance of revenue fully operational in 2019.

Cadastre, new postponement for the reform: it risks increasing taxes

Stop the reform. The crucial decree implementing the fiscal delegation on the subject of real estate was envisaged in today's CDM and had two major innovations in the works: lThe unit of measurement for the calculation had to be represented by square meters and no longer by the number of rooms, and the value of individual properties according to the reform should be determined on the basis of the market values ​​of the previous three years, but also taking into account other parameters, such as the characteristics of the building and its location.

In the programs of the decree, starting from its approval, the cadastral income of 5 million properties should be reviewed within 62 years. However, today the text will not arrive on the table of the Council of Ministers: Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has preferred to postpone it to deepen the projections elaborated by the Revenue Agency despite the fact that the delegation is now close to expiring (on June 27). In fact, the fear is that the new calculation method will end up leading to a sharp increase in taxation on the home. And given the sufficiently heated political climate right now, it still would have been difficult to explain that in some cases taxes will increase, in others they will decrease. According to some projections elaborated by Uil local authorities and filmed by Repubblica, in Nathe value of a council house in the center would rise sixfold, in Rome fourfold, in Venice fivefold. A revaluation which, although sacrosanct where the old numbers no longer photograph the real value of the home considering that the current land register is seventy years old, would still have an impact on citizens' pockets.

The point therefore is to verify whether and how much the reform puts at risk the invariance of revenue, the cornerstone of the delegation itself, opening the way to a new fiscal drain on the brick. If annuities increase, the Imu and Tasi rates must decrease (the ceiling of the collection of Imu and Tasi on first and second homes is 24 billion per year): this would in fact be the principle of invariance. The crux therefore remains how to decline this invariance, whether at a national or local tax level. Among the possible hypotheses there is also that of transforming the delegation into a bill.
