Postpone the first installment of Tares from January to April, the new tax on waste and other municipal services. The proposal comes from Government and is contained in a sub-amendment to the Stability Law presented this morning in the Senate Budget Committee. Sources from Palazzo Madama confirm this to FIRSTonline.
The proposed correction aims to modify an amendment presented by the same Executive just two days ago to make the new levy operational. If the postponement were approved, the payment would be postponed until after the electoral campaign. Taxpayers would then have time to recover from the sting of the Imu (the deadline for payment of the balance expires today) and the administration could clarify the many technical aspects still unclear regarding the calculation of the new tax.
Tares will replace Tarsu and Tia (depending on the levy chosen so far by the individual municipalities). Not only will the property owners pay for it, but all those who "occupy or hold premises or uncovered areas".
The levy will be more expensive than in the past, because it will have to fully finance the environmental health service and "indivisible services" such as lighting and road maintenance. To this end, the Municipality will apply an increase of 30 cents per square meter to the waste tax (which can be raised to 40).
In all, Tares will cost Italian taxpayers one billion euros a year, which the State will save by cutting a sum equivalent to the former transfers to the Municipalities, now revolutionized by the Stability Law.
