Revenue seethe, operators of the web - Computer Point

Into The Democratic Party has a package of amendments to the decree tax delegation, to force the global IT giants to pay more taxes in Italy. Including the advertising market

Rome – For a tax system fairer and more transparent, that it is effectively geared to economic growth, a package of amendments to the Decree on tax delegation presented to the Finance Committee of the House by Ernesto Coal ( Pd). Supported by Prime Minister Enrico Letta – “there will be no shortcuts,” he promised during the last G8 summit in Lough Erne – the leaders of the Democratic Party declared war on powerful multinationals operating on the web, against those tactics that effectively circumvent the tax payment taxes in Italy.

From Google to Facebook, the so-called over-the-top have all come under the lens of the tax authorities in several European countries, including Italy, because of the scarcity of fees paid in the face of several billion turnover. Among offshore accounts and business trips in countries with fiscal policies softer – the Republic of Ireland to Luxembourg – the operators of the web may be subject to a new regime of zero tolerance as advanced in the legislative proposal of Coal and the entire Democratic Party.

In the first of the amendments to the Finance Committee of the House, provision should be made in Italy “the introduction, in line with international best practices, systems of corporate taxation multinationals based on adequate systems for the estimation of portions of assets attributable to domestic tax jurisdiction. ” The tax regime of Italy would thus follow the models adopted in some U.S. states, which provide an estimate of certain economic data localization – example, the number of employees or square meters of offices – in the calculation of the globalized revenues that are to be taxed in the various host countries.

“You need to go to ask these corporations to comply fully with the tax rules and the market – said Carbone – paying taxes as actually produce in terms of turnover in Italy.” In the face of receipts billionaires, some in October denounced the Italian tax authorities a figure slightly exceeds the total of a million Euros 950 thousand euro (Amazon) and EUR 132 thousand (Facebook) .

The second amendment tabled by the Democratic Party also provides that anyone who “sells online advertising campaigns paid on the Italian territory should have a VAT Italian, including transactions carried out through the media centers and third party operators.” In this way you avoid the high-tech companies abroad hijack the budget of the digital advertising market and Italian tricolor.
