Premier Matteo Renzi reiterated
Thursday his government will devote "special attention" to
relieving families' tax bills.
Renzi made the renewed pledge to help families in a reply
to a reader of the Catholic daily Avvenire.
"We will dedicate ... special attention to the theme of
taxation for families," the premier said, "it is urgent that one
come up with answers that have been awaited in vain for too
long".
Renzi was replying to a reader of the daily who signed
himself Stefano "husband and father from Rome" who said that he
and his family would not receive a promised tax bonus at the end
of May, thus underlining "a logic that penalises single income
family units, almost as if the choice of one of the two (more
often the Mum) to stay at home was in itself to be scorned".
Renzi for his part reassured that the Government commitment
was not limited to the promised 80 euro tax bonus but "is based
on an idea of the future of the country, of the future of our
children ranging from investment in school building to rigour
over waste and privileges, to innovations that can revolutionise
the civil service and to institutional reforms."
"The 80 euros more to a part of the workforce was only an
initial step," Renzi said.
