Everyone agrees to lower taxes (God forbid!), Everyone agrees to put their hand to IRPEF starting from the third rate and average incomes included in the 28-55 thousand euro range, and also to make IRAP disappear drowning her in the Ires. From here to being able to find an agreement in Parliament on the tax reform, however, it passes. Not only that: the government has not yet begun to think about the new delegation law that the CGIL, CISL and UIL are already getting in the way, arguing that “the reform cannot be separated from a confrontation with the trade unions that the Government must initiate as soon as possible”, he then added that “if the guidelines were those that have emerged so far, they would hardly meet the needs of a fair and just tax reform”.
The problem that after four months of hearings the two souls of the majority have not yet found a meeting point on the most delicate points: on the one hand the inheritance taxes, which have become the workhorse of the Latvian Democratic Party, and on the other the flat tax for the VAT numbers on which the League is betting.

As proof that everything is still on the high seas.
