In recent days we have witnessed in Italy in yet another debate-fucking on phantom property taxes To be introduced, depending on the case, in our country, at European level or – even – on a world basis (the galactic area has been saved for now). As in previous occasions, the chatter had a deaf start, then developed, had some peaks and finally it was eclipsed, as happens with every debate on the self -respecting nothing (so to speak).
In the meantime, in the real world – first, during and after this silly discussion – natural persons and companies continue to pay one patrimonial Which has very little virtual, massively affecting real estate. The reference, of course, is to the IMU, the tax introduced by the Monti government to replace the ICI. Since 2012, the IMU has weighed on individuals, families and businesses for almost 300 billion euros. It is an onerous and unfair tax, which increasingly affects subjects who, in addition to not drawing any fruit from their good, no longer even have a work income from which to obtain the resources to pay this real “widespread property”.
Other than chatter about future (even if improbable) assets. It is necessary to start reducing the weight of what is there, that is to say a tribute that punishes savings and damages the economy. You could start by eliminating the IMU on the houses given for rent With “agreed fee” contracts, to extend the housing offer, or on the properties of small towns, to facilitate the rebirth of villages and internal areas. Or on too many grade shops, to give some oxygen to those who only endure the charges.
On the choice of priorities you can think, you can also indulge yourself, there is only spoiled for choice, but first of all the political will would need. And that, yet, we don’t see it.
