No “hands” in Italians’ bank accounts. Sources at Palazzo Chigi deny that the budget law contains a measure that would allow the Tax Agency to directly access Italians’ current accounts to recover unpaid taxes. A circumstance that, it seems, “is totally unfounded”.
“The budget law, in line with the fiscal delegation approved by Parliament and with the firm line in combating tax evasion followed by the Government, is limited – report the same sources – to providing for the possibility of using IT tools to increase efficiency of existing instruments used to recover amounts relating to tax titles for which the taxpayer did not file an appeal and did not obtain judicial suspension”.
“Any initiative by this government in matters of taxation will always guarantee full respect for taxpayers’ rights and their privacy, in a relationship of equality between State and citizen”, he explains. The hypothesis is also defined as “outdated” because it was blocked in its infancy directly by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, today involved in the European Council taking place in Brussels. From what we learned, when the Prime Minister saw the project she decided to stop the law: “No talk about it, this law will not be approved”.
