Car tax in the chaos, the protest of Aniasa

“A regulation that increases red tape and costs for those who use the company car (150 thousand clients including businesses, individuals, and PA), that will produce lower revenues for the Exchequer, with a real risk of a strong growth of the evasion of vehicle tax and a boom in litigation relating to the failed or incorrect payment of the stamp duty”...”. And’ the voice ANIASA of the Association within Confindustria represents the sector of mobility services, in an open letter to the Ministers of Economy and Transport.

“At a distance of two days from the deadline, after a month of waiting, it is virtually impossible to proceed with the payment for the fleets and you are forced to follow procedures, old-fashioned, over 30 years ago. We ask the Government to intervene urgently, postponing the entry into force of the standard until they are operational procedures which enable them to fulfil the obligation.”

it All stems from the norm (strongly criticised by the operators) is inserted in the DL Tax, approved at the end of the year, which involves starting from 1 January 2020 to a paradigm shift for the payment of the car tax, which now is held no longer the owner of the vehicle, but its user, on the basis of Region of residence.

For almost 150,000 customers (85.000 companies, 3.200 PA and 60,000 private individuals) that use more than 1 million rental vehicles and residents in the twenty regions with the same number of specific regulations, it is an absurd step backwards, the exact opposite of the concept of smart mobility; above all, because the measure is complex in application and is likely to produce dangerous unexpected effects. For the year 2020 are estimated to 3.500.000 payment transactions.

today, it is impossible for the owners of the vehicles make electronic payments for the nearly 700,000 vehicles whose plates are at the National Archive of Vehicles. For these it is necessary to follow a procedure entirely contrary to the digital economy: it is therefore necessary to be physically present at the offices, presenting the registration certificate and a copy of the contract for every single plate.

According to Aniasa the norm, as it is structured will give birth to various problems. First of all, a strong tax litigation at the local level and the national (now non-existent), due to the failed or incorrect payment of car tax. In the second the problems of management and budget for the 3,200 Public Administrations, that use the services of the rental fleets, long-term, in relation to the total amounts and higher administrative costs.

Third, it cancels the positive role of fairness in tax in the industry of rental for timeliness and completeness of payments, with a predictable and significant increase of delay, evasion and the costs for the recovery of sums not paid. It also generates less revenue and VAT in consideration of the fact, that with the previous legislation, the tax payment was counted in the formulation of the rental charge; it complicates the activities related to the payment of the superbollo.

“A measure born bad and run worse, in total contrast with the long declamatory administrative simplification, which complicates the life of the taxpayer. We ask the Government”, stresses Massimiliano Archiapatti – President of ANIASA, “to correct suddenly shot to manage this transition in the payment of the car tax, and avoid the black-out between local authorities, providing greater clarity on the procedures to follow. In the meantime, we believe it necessary to postpone the application of the provision. We are at the disposal of the Ministries, the ACI and the State-Regions Conference to resolve an issue regarding an increasingly significant and in constant development in terms of the mobility of the nation”.
