Abolition no, revision yes. Yesterday the Chamber rejected two motions asking for the cancellation of sector studies (presented by the Lega and Fratelli d'Italia), approving instead four requests to "optimize" this fiscal instrument.
In particular, the Government is required to undertake to "assess the opportunity to proceed with a revision of the sector studies to simplify them, envisaging a reduction in their number, and to make them more effective through continuous verification and possible modification of the methods of calculation that pursues the maximization of the reliability of the estimates and, at the same time, guarantees the fidelity of the data declared by the tax payers”.
For Chiara Scuvera (Pd), first signatory of one of the approved requests, "we need a reform that introduces interoperability between statistical data and policies, above all to avoid penalizing professionals and micro-enterprises".
The second approved application, from the 5 Star Movement, asks the Government to replace or support sector studies with control systems that encourage preventive compliance between taxpayers and the tax authorities "also through the preparation of free IT tools that allow operators to compare the economic and financial trend of its activities in real time compared to standard statistical models”.
Favorable opinion also to the request with which Sel proposes an extension of the range of exclusion from studies and a use other than that of a "mere assessment tool".
The latest approved request comes from Walter Rizzetto (Misto group - Free Alternative) and asks the government to "take initiatives aimed at regulating sector studies so that their use is envisaged as a mere statistical analysis tool to select taxpayers to be subject ” to tax controls, and not as a “tool to automatically establish the adequacy of tax returns”.
