Premier Giuseppe Conte reiterated on
Monday that his government was considering reducing value-added
tax to help get the economy going again after the coronavirus
emergency, while stressing that any such cut would be temporary.
"There's no ready-made recipe," Conte told IlFatto.it.
"We are in a situation of uncertainty. No solution can be
univocal.
"VAT is being discussed now. We said we would assess this
possibility. It is clear that it costs a great deal.
"The hypothesis of a reduction for a short period of time is
being considered".
Matteo Salvini, the leader of the opposition League party, said
that "any tax cut will have the support of the League".
