Italy's audit court said Thursday
that the high level of taxes in the country has created a
pressure on citizens that is "barely tolerable". According to
the court, the tax burden in 2014 was equal to 43.5% of GDP, 1.7
percentage points higher than the average for the entire
eurozone. The court also said that a "very rigid" pension system
and tight savings margins were cutting into workers' pay and
spending, making it harder for the government's spending review
plans.
