Il ciclone Tasi keep shaking the Government. This time, however, it is not only the mayors who are protesting: Civic choice demands that the new tax on indivisible services of the Municipalities be further modified, otherwise threatening to open a rift in the majority.
It's in the viewfinder the government amendment to the Local Authorities decree to grant the mayors the possibility of raising the 2014 rates (the increase must be between 0,1 and 0,8 per thousand). Municipalities will be free to decide how to distribute the increase among the various taxable bases, without prejudice to the obligation to use the additional resources to finance deductions in favor of the weakest social groups.
Civic choice he asked for the opening “of a table in which to define, within a month, what taxation on the house should be like – said the secretary Stefania Giannini -. It is an attempt, hopefully successful, not to put this majority in crisis", because, if the Government placed its trust in a provision that contained the possibility of increasing the Tasi rates, "we would vote against".
As for the local administrators, according to the president of theancient, Peter Fassino, the government amendment “goes in the right direction, but only 50%. If the flexibility on the rate is aimed only at covering the deductions, it does not solve the problem of the lower revenue on the first home that the Municipalities will have with respect to the IMU. We ask the Government and the Parliament how they intend to deal with this problem”.
The changes to the Tasi were also at the center of a meeting today at Palazzo Chigi between a delegation from the Government and the Anci. The Association of Municipalities has asked that they be adopted by January the measures necessary to guarantee the resources to compensate for the lower revenue, also "in the face of the legal obligation to approve the municipal budgets by 28 February, a deadline that cannot be postponed given that the imminent electoral deadline in May will oblige the vast majority of Municipalities to complete their deliberative activity by February".
