Continue the psychodrama on tax deduction for health care expenses 2020. THE'latest budget law has introduced the obligation to make payments with traceable methods (debit card, credit card, prepaid card, bank or cashier's check, bank transfer or postal payment) to bring the sums into deduction with the 2021 return (referring to the income of this 'year). The new rule took effect on January XNUMXst, but then the majority seemed to have found an agreement for a three-month moratorium.
THE AGREEMENT ON THE 3-MONTH MORATORY…
For days it was certain that the correction would be introduced in the Milleproroghe decree with an amendment which would have postponed the operation of the law to April 2020st. The goal was to help the millions of Italians who - due to ignorance of the law - continued to pay their health care costs in cash in the initial months of XNUMX without knowing that by doing so they would no longer be able to discharge them. Furthermore, the moratorium was also designed to accommodate doctors and other health professionals, many of whom were caught unprepared by the new rule (the majority are still without Pos).
…AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE AMENDMENT
In the end, however, the amendment fell through: no one filed it in the committees in the House that approved the measure. The general discussion on the Milleproroghe has passed in the Chamber and the Executive will soon place its trust in the provision. The text must be approved by 18 February in Montecitorio and by 28 in the Senate, under penalty of forfeiture, so it is assumed that the government will lock down the text also in Palazzo Madama.
It is by no means certain that in the end the moratorium will not arise again, perhaps as an amendment to another text of the law. But so far the hopes of many taxpayers (and almost all doctors) have been dashed.
HEALTH EXPENSES DEDUCTION 2020: HERE ARE THE AFFECTED
We remind you that the squeeze The squeeze concerns all medical visits in private practices, as well as examinations, hospitalizations and operations in private structures not accredited by the National Health Service. The new rule on traceable payments, on the other hand, does not apply to three types of health expenses: the purchase of medicines or medical devices and the payment of health services provided by public and private structures, provided they are accredited to the national health service.
