“Unfair to take the tax lever”

AOSTA. The increase in the tax rate on the Irpef surcharge of the Municipality of Aosta was the focus of a meeting between pensioners’ unions and the mayor of the capital.

On the one hand, Spi Cgil, Fnp Cisl and Uil Uip have expressed all their opposition to the decision to increase the tax burden on citizens: “it is unfair – they say – to take the tax lever”. On the other hand, the mayor Gianni Nuti explained the reasons behind the decision to increase the municipal surcharge from 0.3 to 0.5%.

“The responses received by the mayor and his deputy – comment the pensioners’ unions – were unsatisfactory, both because it is clear that the easiest way was chosen to find financial resources, and for the method, which excluded the involvement of the parties social “.

The Municipality of Aosta “instead of increasing taxes” should have “made the collection of municipal taxes more efficient, which is currently lacking, and also the subject of recent findings by the Court of Auditors. On the merits – they add – we contested the method of taxation not progressive and the fact that there is a single exemption threshold of € 10,000, when it would have been necessary to raise it, introducing differentiated tax rates based on income received “.

The trade unions note that “the problem does not concern only the municipality of Aosta, but also the Regional Administration, which is one of the four regions of Italy that does not apply any progressivity in charging the regional surcharge”. To discuss the matter, the trade unions intend to ask the regional government for a meeting as well.
