Robin Tax's Phoenix Arab. The measure on the energy sector reappears

In the corrective maneuver hastily approved by the Government, the Robin Hood tax reappears, the tax already conceived – again by Giulio Tremonti – to hit the enormous profits of oil companies. Now it is being revived and will affect the entire energy sector, and will contribute to the reduction of public spending.
It is Giulio Tremonti himself, after all, who makes no secret of it. He reiterated it yesterday: the maneuver provides for a first block of interventions as regards the costs of politics and local authorities. For 2012, Tremonti articulated, "we have anticipated cuts to ministries for almost 6 billion, which could drop to 5 billion through the reintroduction of the Robin Hood tax for the energy sector, without prejudice to citizens' bills". Cuts, also for 6 billion in 2012, also foreseen for local authorities, and here too, Tremonti underlines, "however, they can be compensated if the Robin Hood tax works and through the advance of fiscal federalism". Even for local authorities "the cuts could go down from 6 to 5 billion through the Robin Hood tax".
Tremonti estimates that 2 billion will come through the special tax. As regards the advance of fiscal federalism, this should start with the immediate imposition of the Imu, the single municipal tax initially envisaged in force from 2014 and which will include the ICI and the Irpef on the land income of second homes , and the ICI on "instrumental" buildings (sheds, offices and laboratories). Meanwhile, the president of the Senate Renato Schifani makes it known that he has asked to have the decree sent to the commission on 22 August, so that it can arrive in the Chamber on 5 September.
