MILANO – More time for tax bills, ecobonus for non-polluting cars refinanced, another 13 weeks of Cassa Covid until the end of the year, a fund with the resources to pay compensation to workers in quarantine and the package of measures for the job security. These are some of the main measures of the tax decree that received the green light today in the Council of Ministers. A green light, however, marked by a new clash within the government, with the League attacking the refnancing of the Basic income for 200 million euros provided for by the decree. Funds that according to the League would have been raised by subtracting resources from emergency income (90 million), early access to retirement for tiring and heavy work (30 million), access to retirement for early workers (40 million) and leave parents (30 million).
Folders, more time to pay
One of the main measures concerns the tax bills. There will be five months to pay the suspended bills for the pandemic that the Revenue Agency has resumed notifying since 1 September. A parliamentary resolution approved by all the majority forces asks to grant up to 150 days to pay the bills notified from 1 September and to put back those who have forfeited the scrapping installments within the deadline.

The eco-bonus has been refinanced
New resources are coming on the front of auto incentives. The allocation provided for by the decree to refinance the auto eco-bonus in favor of non-polluting cars amounts to 100 million. The extension of the incentives would be made necessary by the exhaustion of the resources allocated so far. In fact, according to the monitoring of the Mise, the allocations remain only for used cars, for those with CO2 emissions between 61 and 135 mg and for motorcycles.
