The government will gradually
implement its founding contract and the second phase of a flat
tax will be rolled out next year, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria
said Thursday.
The flat tax was introduced for some self-employed this year
and League leader and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini has vowed to
extend it to personal income tax (IRPEF) for the middle class
and lower earners next year.
Tria added that Italy's high public debt - 132% of GDP - was
a burden but a "fully sustainable one".
He said "reducing it via growth is one of our objectives".
