A draft of the government's so-called
August decree, which ANSA has seen, features a wide range of
measures to help businesses on their knees due to the
coronavirus emergency and allocated new spending to the health
sector, schools and local authorities.
Among the measures is the extension of a halt on the authorities
serving demands for outstanding taxes until October 15 and the
suspension of payment of an instalment of property tax IMU for
hotels and beach establishments.
The package also features extra funding for the national health
service to pay for overtime to make it possible for personnel to
catch up on examinations, operations and screening activities
that were not performed during the coronavirus lockdown.
It also sets aside money for research into an Italian COVID-19
vaccine.
