Fiscal peace to mandate jail for dodgers

(ANSA) - Rome, October 15 - The government's new fiscal peace measure will mandate arrest for tax dodgers, sources close to the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio said Monday.
    The ruling parties reached a deal on so-called fiscal peace, anti-migrant Euroskeptic League sources said Monday.
    The percentages will be "variable" and will allow those who have filed income-tax returns to settle their arrears, they said.
    The government's fiscal peace measure will have a ceiling 30% above the sums already declared up to 100,000 euros, sources close to Deputy Premier and 5-Star (M5S) leader Luigi Di Maio said Monday, stressing that "we have made sure there is no safe-conduct pass for tax dodgers".
    Meanwhile the other deputy premier, League leader and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said that "after demonstrating it on immigration and security, also on economic issues we are continuing to keep our promises, gradually and bravely. "The Fornero (pension reform overhaul), the flat tax, and (tax collection agency) Equitalia: on these issues, too, we represent change".
    An overhaul of the 2011 pension reform that raised the retirement age to 67, which would henceforth allow people to retire when the sum of their years contributions paid in and their age reaches 100, will kick in in February, sources for the League said.
    Cuts to so-called 'golden pensions' will yield revenue of one billion euros in three years, sources at the premier's office said after the government summit between the M5S and the League, along with Premier Giuseppe Conte and Economy Minister Giovanni Tria.
