The ruling parties have 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".
The government's new fiscal peace measure will mandate arrest
for tax dodgers, sources close to Di Maio said.
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.
