In view of the manoeuvre, the flat tax is back in the news with the League considering whether to raise the ceiling from the current 85,000 euro. This was made known by Minister and Carroccio leader Matteo Salvini, speaking to entrepreneurs at the Teha Forum in Cernobbio and answering the audience's questions with muted microphones. This year, Salvini said, 'VAT numbers have paid more taxes and it is also thanks to the flat tax. Hence the idea of raising the ceiling and bringing it - this is one of the first hypotheses - to 100,000 euro.
The hypothesis of revising the flat-rate scheme for VAT holders
"Given the positive results obtained by the Flat Tax so far, the League is reasoning whether to raise the ceiling from 85,000 euro". This is the main reason explained by the deputy prime minister and minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, for revising the current flat tax regime reserved for holders of VAT numbers, which envisages that up to the threshold of 85,000 euro of revenues and remuneration, a reduced taxation is adopted, with a rate of 15 per cent. In view of the manoeuvre, the party is reasoning 'whether to raise the ceiling to 85,000 euro and whether to apply it also to overtime', the League leader further explained.
"Positive news on the nuclear dossier soon"
."I am counting on positive news from the government in the coming days, and I am absolutely convinced of the need and urgency to return to the nuclear dossier," is how Lega League leader Salvini raises the issue again, emphasising that "Italy can no longer say no to nuclear power." "I believe," adds Salvini, "that one of the most important missions of this government is to bring Italy back into the context of modernity, efficiency and environmental sustainability, restarting the nuclear dossier". 'We are surrounded by reactors,' the League leader insists, 'with Italian companies like Enel that are operating nuclear power in many European countries but not in Italy. It is suicide, nonsense, madness'. Finally, Salvini says he is convinced that 'if there was a chance to hold a referendum, the majority of Italians would say yes to a return to the future'.
"No to an imposed green deal. On Tav we are on schedule"
"You don't do the green deal by imposing electric cars and banning petrol and diesel engines, but you do it by offering an opportunity for a change in operating and working methods," explained Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini, speaking about the state of work on railway lines at the Ambrosetti forum in Cernobbio. In particular for the Tav 'we are fully respecting the schedule, the partners are not always able to do the same. We are further ahead and I count that we can remain so until 2032'. The same for the Brenner tunnel: 'Compared to our Austrian colleagues we are absolutely on schedule and on cost, something that partners do not always manage to guarantee,' Salvini said
