In 2020, the average amounts paid by a company located in one of the 283 Municipalities subject to monitoring on local taxation, prepared by Assolombarda, show substantial stability compared to those paid in 2019: (+ 0.2% for both warehouses and The offices). The Report on local taxation, promoted by Assolombarda and now in its ninth edition, also underlines the enormous disparity existing between the imposition of the waste tax (Tari), in the most expensive municipalities compared to the least expensive ones: where taxation is stronger both offices and warehouses pay 13 times more than cheaper ones. Differences that risk creating a disconnect, in competitiveness, even between companies in neighboring territories.
This is what emerges from the Report, promoted by Assolombarda, which examines the tax burden exerted by the municipalities of the metropolitan city of Milan and the provinces of Lodi, Monza and Brianza and, for the first time, also of Pavia. This year, in fact, following the merger of Assolombarda with Confindustria Pavia, the Observatory also includes 35 Municipalities in the Province of Pavia, which is the most virtuous. The Municipality of Pavia is in the 158th position out of the 238 Municipalities analyzed, while in the first five positions among the most virtuous Administrations there are 5 Municipalities of the Province of Pavia.
The least expensive municipality for the tax burden on offices is Arena Po with just over 2,000 euros in local taxes, followed by Parona, Sannazzaro dè Burgondi, Valle Salimbene, Groppello Cairoli.

«The issue of local taxation – explains Alessandro Scarabelli, General Manager of Assolombarda – is one of the levers of competitiveness thanks to which our territories can continue to be attractive and facilitate the grounding of the resources of the NRP. The existence of strong disparities between territories, for example as regards the taxation of the Tari, must lead local administrations to reflect to the advantage of the attractiveness of the territory and the competitiveness of its businesses. From this point of view, a theme that we want to bring to the attention of the Municipal Administrations is that of the tax exemption, from 2021, of all the production areas of the industrial warehouses, including all the warehouses connected to these activities. In fact, we are concerned about the orientation that the Anci has recently taken on the subjectability to the Tari of finished products warehouses, an orientation which, moreover, contradicts the position of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the MEF. In this regard, therefore, we hope that local administrations will follow the indications of the Ministry, also to avoid the possible occurrence of long and costly disputes ».
Again, if we consider the nine years of the 2012 – 2020 survey, the offices have seen an overall increase in the tax burden of 8.6%, paying an average of 615 euros more: the amount has, in fact, gone from 7,122 to 7,737 EUR. The 8.4% increase in the local tax burden on industrial warehouses was almost of the same intensity: the average amount went from 36,581 to 39,671 euros.
2020 showed a very modest average deviation from 2019 in the waste tax for warehouses (-0.4%) and stability for offices (0.0%). Since 2012, taxation on waste has decreased by 0.1% for offices and by 17.3% for industrial warehouses. As regards Tari, between the administrations of the territories of Milan, Lodi, Monza and Brianza and Pavia, in 2020, increases of over 10% were recorded in 21 municipalities for offices and 18 for industrial warehouses, while decreases of over 10% were observed in 16 municipalities for offices and 21 for warehouses.
