Tari: the exemption changes for businesses and shops

Two amendments to the Sostegni decree (still to be approved) make effective the possibility for companies and businesses to no longer pay the waste tax by turning to private operators instead of municipal companies

Tari: the exemption changes for businesses and shops

Thousands of businesses and businesses could soon stop paying the Tari. Two amendments to Sostegni decreeIn fact, they aim to make the exemption from paying the waste tax effective for companies and shops that turn to private operators rather than municipal companies. The proposed amendments were presented by Senators Patty L'Abbate (Movimento 5 Stelle) and Maria Alessandra Gallone (Forza Italia). It is not certain that they will pass: in all, the amendments presented to the Sostegni decree are around 2.800 and the available treasury to finance them is insufficient (550 million). However, Palazzo Madama has frozen the examination of the corrective measures in the hope that the government will double the dowry available, allocating for this purpose a part of the 40 billion budget variance that the Chamber will vote on Thursday.

THE CORRECTION OF THE LAW INSTITUTIVE OF THE TARI…

In a brief presented a few days ago before the Budget commissions of the Chamber and the Senate, the association of recycling companies (Unirima) states that it is "necessary to adapt the Law of 127 December 2013 n.147 establishing the Tari (2014 Budget Law)" to the provisions introduced by the legislative decree of 3 September 2020 (n.116), which amended the Consolidated Act on the Environment (Your) to transpose a 2018 European directive (number 851). In essence, the new regulation - in force from 2021 January XNUMX - it took away from the Municipalities the monopoly on the waste produced by non-domestic users, also establishing that those who turn to private subjects must be exempt from paying the Tari. The correction of the 2014 maneuver is entrusted to theL'Abbate amendment.

…AND THAT OF THE UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL TEXT

But the question is more complex than that, as explained by the number one of the Antitrust, Roberto Rustichelli, in a document sent last March 23 to the Prime Minister. In the text, which brings together a series of proposals in view of a new law on competition, Rustichelli points out that the new version of Tua also "establishes the need to enter into a contractual agreement with the public operator or with the chosen private operator with a five-year minimum established by law. However, this provision – continues the President of the Antitrust – appears discriminatory for private operators, since, while it is possible to return to public management at any time, and, therefore, even before the expiry of five years, the opposite is not permitted. In order not to hinder competition between the various operators (private and public) of the waste collection and recovery service by improperly extending the right (the monopoly, ed) of public management, it is therefore deemed necessary to eliminate the minimum five-year duration of the agreement”.

The proposal is accepted byGallon amendment, which cancels the five-year obligation.
