ANC Ragusa: “Private individuals and businesses continue to suffer the disruptive effects of the urgent measures introduced by the government”

Last March 29, Legislative Decree no. March 29, 2024 was published in the Official Journal. 39 which introduces a series of new obligations on taxpayers with the aim of protecting public finances, putting private individuals and businesses in difficulty, which continue to suffer the disruptive effects on their coffers of the urgent measures introduced by the Government. “It is our duty – declares the president of ANC Ragusa, Rosa Anna Paolino (in the photo), taking up the indications coming from the national leaders of the association – to draw the attention of the institutions to the need to intervene promptly on the obligation, starting from 30 last March, of the prior electronic communication for monitoring the Transition 4.0 incentives, under penalty of benefiting from the related tax credits. The sharing and appreciation of such an intervention in favor of the protection of the state coffers cannot, however, lead to claims from those who, despite having completed the investments, since March 30th find themselves unable to take advantage of the credit compensation related taxes and therefore not being able to pay off treasury and/or social security debts, unless by drawing finance from personal coffers”. All this derives from the fact that the preventive electronic communication, also for investments completed during 2023, with use starting from 2024, provides for the revision of the model of the Ministerial Decree of 6 October 2021, in the content, methods and terms of sending, only following the publication of a directorial decree. “The April 16th deadline has arrived – underlines Paolino – and thousands of taxpayers, despite legitimately having the right to compensation for credits “matured but not yet used”, find themselves having to recover new finance to pay the multiple taxes due. A timely intervention was therefore needed to clarify whether, pending the approval of the revised model, which is hoped to arrive as soon as possible, companies had to suspend the compensation or whether they could make use of the provisions of Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Taxpayer’s Statute . Public finances must certainly be safeguarded as much as those of the taxpayers who contribute to its formation.”
