The Government, in the road map of the reforms linked to the Recovery plan, provides for administrative sanctions against merchants who refuse payments with the Pos.
“We do not believe it until we see it, or rather until it becomes law of the state with a lot of publication in the Official Gazette”, comments Massimiliano Dona, president of the National Consumers Union (Unc). “In the past we have already seen announcements that later turned out to be only fake news. The maximum was with the Conte II government, which in the tax bill, the decree linked to the 2020 maneuver, had introduced penalties equal to 30 euros, plus 4% of the value of the transaction for which the electronic payment was refused. After the protests of the merchants and merchants, during the conversion phase of the decree, the sanctions disappeared “recalls Dona.
Codacons also applauds the inclusion in the government road map on the reforms linked to the Recovery plan of sanctions for those who refuse payments with Pos. Pos were completely useless, because there were no sanctions against those who refused payments with cards or ATMs “, explains Codacons who” however “asks the Government to reset the interbank commissions charged to merchants, taxes that represent the cause of the obstruction to to the bitter end of the merchants “.
