Giorgia Meloni recently spoke at a conference at the Italian Parliament on “Tax Reform – Implementation and Perspectives – Approved Implementing Decrees, 2024 Objectives, New Unified Texts.” Meloni emphasized the importance of the state acting like a “good father,” ensuring responsible use of tax revenues. She expressed her pride in Italy aligning with European fiscal standards and thanked Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti and Deputy Minister Maurizio Leo for their contributions. Meloni stressed the need for a comprehensive tax reform rather than just superficial changes.
Minister Giorgetti echoed Meloni’s sentiments, emphasizing the responsibility of managing tax revenue effectively to benefit both citizens and the national community. He highlighted the historic achievement of rapidly approving the delegation law and decrees, praising the collaborative effort with Leo and others involved in the process. Meloni reiterated the importance of the tax system supporting society’s prosperity rather than suffocating it, urging a fair and sensible approach to taxation resembling that of a good family manager.
Meloni also mentioned that in 2023, the Italian government’s revenue exceeded expectations by 26 billion euros, reflecting a successful crackdown on tax evasion through a collaborative rather than punitive approach. She emphasized the importance of the tax system being fair and using collected revenues wisely, similar to a responsible father figure. Meloni continued her advocacy for a cooperative relationship between taxpayers and tax authorities to ensure a balanced and effective fiscal system.
The premier’s commitment to responsible fiscal management was further demonstrated during her visit to Bolzano for the signing of the Development and Cohesion Fund agreement with the Autonomous Province. She underscored the significance of collaborative efforts in combating tax evasion and reiterated her vision of a collaborative relationship between taxpayers and the government. Meloni’s advocacy for a more efficient and fair tax system reflects her belief in the state’s obligation to act as a responsible caretaker of its citizens’ resources.
Meloni’s dedication to efficient tax reform and transparent fiscal management was evident during her visit to Florence for the signing of a similar agreement with the Tuscany Region. She emphasized the importance of using tax revenues wisely to benefit both citizens and the national community. Meloni’s focus on collaboration between taxpayers and the government underscores her commitment to ensuring a fair and effective tax system that supports economic growth and social development. By advocating for a responsible and transparent approach to tax reform, Meloni aims to uphold the principles of good governance and fiscal accountability.
