Tax receipts rose by 1.8% in the
first quarter of 2014 compared with the same time last year, due
to a crackdown on fiscal evasion, Italy's economy ministry said
Monday.
Receipts totalled 88.9 billion euros in the first three
months of the year, the ministry said.
Tax income from inspections and investigations of potential
tax dodgers was up by as much as 9.1% and was worth some 141
million euros, the MEF said.
Income from the value-added tax, which the government
raised to 22% from 21% last year, also rose by 4.4% in Q1, or
894 million euros, compared to the first quarter of 2013, the
ministry said.
