A 3,5-billion-euro maelstrom through communication tricks…
The decisions on the new tax measures that will save 3,5 billion euros were finalised today, and will be announced next Monday by the government
UPD:
The decisions on the new tax measures that will save 3,5 billion euros were finalised today, and will be announced next Monday by the government.
The Finance ministry is trying to “sweeten the pill” of its new tax raid with two communication “tricks”: first, it will abandon the 13% to 23% VAT increase provided for in the 2011 budget, a measure which would include non-staple foods such soft drinks and some “luxury” products, and secondly, they will declare war on the high-profile tax evasion of the “penthouses” and owners of real estate property.
Actually, by seeking additional revenue of 3,5 to 4 billion from 2011 taxes, it imposes very strict penalties for tax offenses so that the “big shark” prosecutions will not simply satisfy the “common sentiment”, but also serve as an alibi for sentences that befall the small “fry” that gets caught in the ministry’s net against fraud.
Targeting
Based on the plan that will be announced on Monday the random and priority inspections via express procedures will be aimed at:
* companies with a turnover exceeding 30 million euros (based on 2009) and all banking, insurance and listed companies with a turnover of more than 10 million
