(ANSA) - Rome, September 24 - Deputy Premier and Labour and
Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio reiterated in a newspaper
article on Monday that the government should allow Italy's
deficit to go up to finance plans for a 'citizenship wage' basic
income.
In the interview with Il Fatto Quotidiano, the leader of the
5-Star Movement (M5S) also said that plans for 'fiscal peace'
should be limited to help taxpayers with minor disputes with the
authorities and should not end up being an amnesty for big tax
evaders.
"It is for people in difficulty," Di Maio said.
"An amnesty (for tax disputes of) up to one million euros is
unacceptable for us.
"In fact, jail for evaders will be in the tax decree at the
end of September".
