Fisco, bonsai companies with giants payments

Rome, July 21 – (AdnKronos) – About 98% of all companies in Italy have less than 20 employees, but despite this small size, the tax and economic contribution is very high. This is evidenced by an badysis of the CGIA research office that shows, for example, how in terms of taxes and fees in 2017 the self-employed and very small businesses (only those subject to sector studies) , paid 43.9 billion euros, an amount equal to 53% of the total of the main taxes paid by the economic system. All others, mainly medium and large businesses, paid only $ 39.6 billion (47% of the total).
The Cgia highlights "surprising" results also in the economic and employment field: since net of public sector employees, companies with less than 20 employees work for the majority of Italians, ie 56, 4% of employees and they produce 40 percent of the annual national value added, the record among the leading economies of the EU.
To continue this fact – continues the badociation – the decline of large domestic companies. In fact, until the early 1980s, Italy was among the world leaders in chemistry, plastics, rubber, steel, aluminum, information and pharmaceuticals. "We have lost ground all these sectors" through "a natural selection made by the market" but especially – explains the coordinator of the CGIA studies office Paolo Zabeo – "the inability of the major players, mainly from public nature, to rise to the challenge of globalization ".
In light of these specifics, the CGIA calls for more attention to the business world starting with the commercial debt of our Public Administration (PA) which is close to 60 billion euros for suppliers (with missed payments for about half of this amount). As CGIA Secretary Renato Mason reminds us, "our Pa pays not only with incredible delay that has cost us a referral to the European Court of Justice, but when it does, it no longer pays VAT to its supplier" . companies "liquidity to cope with current expenditure".
In addition, the CGIA advocates a policy aimed at reducing the taxation of households and small and micro-enterprises as quickly as possible, in order to stimulate domestic consumption and employment and boost investment, particularly public investment, which is part of the GDP. not very relevant in absolute terms, but fundamental for wealth creation ".
