The sting of 33% of the stamp duty on financial instruments (from 0,15% to 0,2%) passes in the Senate and is getting closer and closer. The last hurdle is the Chamber, and if all goes as it should go, the increase in mini-property taxes imposed by the Monti government in 2012 will come into force on 34,20 January. The minimum fixed levy is set at XNUMX euros per year. The stamp duty will also affect deposit accounts.
An additional risk, for current account holders, is that even those banks that up to now have been responsible for the tax can, in light of the Sting, change the cards on the table, notifying the customer of the unilateral modification proposal. The customer, within 60 days from the date of receipt of the communication, can withdraw from the contract without costs and penalties.
