Tax evasion: 316 billion a year!

The evaded tax in Italy is about 316 billion euros a year. In terms of taxes (direct and indirect contribution) are subtracted all'erario in the 140/150 billion. This is the estimate calculated by the CGIA Mestre after having prepared a series of ministerial and data dell 'Istat that allowed him to map this sad phenomenon. Areas of evasion / tax avoidance are 4 identified: the 'black economy, the criminal economy, tax evasion / avoidance of large enterprises and the self-employed and small businesses.

Let's see in detail these 4 areas. The first is the most widespread and affects' s underground economy that, according to Istat, the Italian tax authorities subtracts an amount of approximately EUR 200 billion a year. The army of illegal workers is made up of about 3 million units of labor standards. Of these 2,300,000 are employees who make the second or third job.
The second is the economy achieved by large criminal organizations mafia that, in at least 3 regions of the south, controlling buna part of 'economy of these territories. It is estimated that the turnover is not "counted" was about 100 billion euros a year.
The third area is composed by large corporations. According to the Ministry of 'Economics and Finance, 50% of large companies in the Italian capital for several years, said negative income or zero. In practice a total of about 800,000 capital 50% do not pay a euro to Italian tax authorities, at least with respect to taxes on income. It is estimated avoidance / tax evasion of around 10 billion euros a year.
Finally there is the avoidance of self-employed and small businesses due to the non-issuance of tickets, receipts and tax bills that extracts all'erario about 6 billion euros a year.

"Of course - said Giuseppe Bortolussi secretary of CGIA di Mestre - these 4 areas are partly overlapping and 316 billion of tax evaded more are merely an estimate. However, remember that a big responsibility for this sad record is due to excessive tax burden in Italy. If the tax diminished within a reasonable timeframe of 3-4 percentage points, the level of 'escape could be reduced by almost half.
