Economy Minister Giovanni Tria
said Tuesday that he was in favour of making a start on cutting
income tax as the government continues to work on its 2019
budget law.
"It is necessary to find the space, in a very gradual way, to
make a start with... an initial reduction of household income
rates," Tria said.
"It is necessary to look at how compatible this is with the
budget, but I am highly in favour of making a start".
The League-5-Star Movement government has pledged to bring in
a two-tier flat tax.
"Today there is a complex array of rates, high rates, a mass
of tax expenditures," Tria told an event organized by artisans
association Confartigianato.
"You can't tell who wins and who loses. The flat tax should
be financed with the tax expenditures.
"It's a complex process and it needs time".
