A historic milestone in the fight against tax evasion
The year 2024 marks a historic milestone in the fight against tax evasion: the government has announced the recovery of €33.4 billion, an increase of €8.2 billion compared to 2022. This unprecedented figure confirms the effectiveness of the crackdown on fiscal illegality and strengthens trust in institutions. However, the real challenge now is to decide how to allocate these resources effectively to support the Italian economic fabric.
A golden opportunity to lower SME taxation
Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of the Italian economy but have long struggled under the burden of high taxation. In a period characterized by high interest rates and weak consumption, reducing business taxes would be a concrete signal of support for those who generate jobs and wealth every day. If tax evasion recovery brings in such substantial sums, it is only fair that they be reinvested in the production system to boost growth and competitiveness.
A fairer tax system for a stronger Italy
Ensuring a less oppressive tax system means strengthening our business sector, making it more resilient and competitive. Italian companies have always shown a willingness to contribute to the country’s development, but they need the right conditions to do so. Redistributing the funds recovered from tax evasion would create a virtuous cycle, encouraging investment and stimulating employment.
The government must support honest businesses
If the government has demonstrated determination in cracking down on evasion, it must now show the same commitment to supporting honest businesses. Unimpresa’s vice president, Giuseppe Spadafora, emphasized the importance of this measure, reaffirming that a fairer tax system would make Italy a more stable and competitivecountry. Businesses are not asking for privileges but for fair conditions to operate and grow.
Lowering taxes for SMEs is not just a matter of fairness—it is a winning strategy for the country’s future. What do you think? Share your opinion in the comments below!
