For Municipalities are available the tax registry data on electric utilities, leases, reports about property inheritance that are within their territorial areas. The Revenue Agency in the past few days has made clear to local authorities, through the channel Siatel that can access these tax registry data as provided in an order of the Agency on 3 December 2007. Yet the press release explains that Siatel are available from September 29 electric utilities, which means almost 40 million persons reported, and that are being loaded with information relevant to leases and statements of property inheritance. Is what had to be available within three months from the decision of December 2007, but in the meantime, with change of government majority, times were slowed. The the summer government maneuver was anyway back on the need for cooperation of municipalities in the fight to tax escape, thus giving new impetus to the operation.
The data that the Agency shall make available to municipalities, compared with the proposed decision of December 2007, does not yet include the subsidies for building renovations and data on users other than electric, because they are considered particularly significant, in As their relationship with taxpayers in principle is one to one, which does not happen with other utilities such as the telephone.
These data will allow municipalities primarily to check if there are any evasion with respect to municipal taxes. Thanks to the data made available dall'Anagrafe tax, in fact, the communes will check whether the data of tax correspond to those in its possession and from this data will determine if there are taxpayers who evade local taxes.
Still being developed, however, the measures for reporting from the periphery to the center. According to the summer government maneuver (Dl 112, 2008, however the information enriching of Finance 2006) is on "redditometro" and fictitious residences abroad, the communities are called to contribute. The campaign planned by the Special Dl 112 start in 2009 and then to the Revenue is getting ready for the deadline, making meanwhile a series of "tests" with the major municipalities, which have already been entered into certain agreements in recent weeks. But the challenge is to make even the smallest municipalities in terms of access to the system, giving indications that can result in investigations by the Revenue. Alerts to tax must be "qualified" as clarified by the Revenue Agency of the measure in December 2007, ie, give significant, and therefore certain that sit a test "cost benefit" from the tax office (see ' Il Sole-24 Ore ", 15 September 2008). The proceeds of the struggle to escape will be provided to municipalities when they will be translated into revenue definitive, so much so that reports will be tracked throughout the process that accompanies the alleged tax.

Building industry - Fighting Tax Evasion
At home without authorization a "yard" on three

Everything in black money is almost never a bargain, but how many have understood? When it comes to home renovation, there is always someone who chooses not to make the bill. The rebates of Taxes, however, have begun to diminish the area of the irregularity. In 1998 - estimated Il Sole 24 Ore - the deduction of 41% was applied to work for 1.56 billion euros in 2006, however, 36% involved interventions for 4 billion. And if you look at the work performed last year, we discover that at least two out of three have received the deduction. Although it is well to remember, one third of the "home yards" remains suspect to escape. "In the first phase 36% did not reveal anything, or almost. In fact, the people who used to work was already in good standing. Then there was the emergence, and now we are faced with a system run, "commented Lorenzo Bellicini, director of Cresme, research institute on construction. "The fact is that the market for redevelopment is made from a range of interventions - continued - There are large and micro-interventions that work, all in economics, or use the friend, the friend ... Here the threshold between structured and self-intervention is difficult to identify. Tax rebates that have contrasted the work, however, the data also show dell'Istat. In 1998 the units of irregular workers in construction were up 16.5% of the total (compared with 15.1% of the entire economy). In 2006 - recorded last year - the figure dropped to 11%, compared to 12% on average. Flavio says Colonel Aniello, commander of the core commander of the special revenue Guardia di Finanza: "The deduction triggers a conflict of interest between the taxpayer and the tax evader. On the one hand there is a person who would do all in black, the other is the taxpayer who claims the invoice and pays the transfer costs to obtain the deduction. And this is without a doubt winning weapon. " Yet, the area of the submerged remains widespread, as demonstrated by Operation Pandora, conducted recently by GdF, and through a series of computerized controls has unearthed evaded income for about 3 billion and 500 million Iva unreported and not paid. In 2008 they were sent to the Revenue 391mila communications for 36%, which must be added the 240mila practices for 55 percent. Well, in the same year, according to the Cresme in Italy were performed 956mila for further restructuring and maintenance (see graphic above). In practice, two out of three jobs were "official." And the others? All irregular? Not necessarily. Because of the activities surveyed by Cresme there are some who might qualify for other benefits (such as photovoltaic panels, with the energy) and others who do not have the 36% unless they are made on the common areas of flats (such as replacing Floor). Not to mention that, for smaller works, many taxpayers may have waived the tax rebate. The rest, however, is avoidance. Unskilled workers employed in black, invoices below the real value, cantieri completely irregular. And there is another facet of the phenomenon, brought to light by Pandora: The VAT ghost, open and closed in a few months, just to be able to issue invoices to customers that demand. "Working-level databases - Aniello told - we were in front of entrepreneurs who had fulfilled all the requirements needed to qualify for the deduction of its customers, except then disappear into thin air. 67% of 7851 subjects that we identified were total evaders. How to say the price reductions may have not yet changed the attitudes of some employers (and some customers). But the tracing of payments is a very useful tool for investigation. Although, Aniello states, can not find the business entirely illegal, those who have never issued a single invoice: "This is active duty troops in the territory." The black, however, is not uniform throughout Italy. L'Ance, the national association of manufacturers, has added all communications for 36% Revenue received from 1998 to 2008 and was compared with the number of occupied dwellings recorded by ISTAT in 2001. Here's the result, just to mention two limiting cases: in the last ten years, in Trentino Alto Adige has been renovated with the tax rebate the 38.6% of the houses in Calabria and Campania 3.8 percent. The difference depends on many factors - not least the availability of household spending - but lets imagine a different incidence of undeclared work. It is no coincidence that the presence of irregular forces working in construction, measured by Istat, is highest in the South "In the south the black has always been heavier - the Cresme comments Bellicini -. Weigh historical reasons, but also cultural. As can be uneconomic for the small amount of work there is still those who think they have everything in black and at least avoid the payment of VAT. cristiano.delloste @ ilsole24ore.com saverio.fossati @ ilsole24ore.com © Right Reserved numbers WORK IN 1998 1.56 billion ten years ago when the allowance for the renovation was still 41%, contributors to the work place 1 56 billion (discounted to 2008).

THE AMOUNT OF 2006 4 billion in 2006, last year for which data are available income, taxpayers have subsidized the work done to 36% for 4 billion.
