Taxes, Chinese torture of honest taxpayers
Giampiero Mughini
This morning my postman kindly me given good morning. A letter from the Inland Revenue showing that the clearance that I had paid Panorama in 2005 I still have 3000 euro to the tax. I do a count in which to explain € €: there is no doubt that I have to pay and there is no doubt that I will pay within 30 days provided by law. God forbid. What is certain is that the path
honest taxpayers between November and December is not that much less painful than that of Christ on Golgotha. I have to laugh when the press, and once we get to pay the thirteenth, displayed large articoloni on how Italians spend their thirteenth. For me, the thirteenth of my pension will pay a few crumbs of taxes imposed on my self-employment. Nothing personal. It 's the law, tax law. Or, more precisely, that the honest taxpayer is a Chinese torture. (A good part of the torture which the Italians are fleeing to escape that is between 30 and 40 per cent of gross national product per year.)
I'll tell you how things are. I hope I never get bored. And besides, many of you have a VAT number and they know him exactly what torture is. About VAT I am one of those who pay VAT every month, and therefore no more than 20-30 days since I issued the invoice. I do a benefit, the 20th of the month, issue invoices as they are obliged to do, I pay VAT on the 16th of next month, and then 26 days later. Today, and if you're lucky, an invoice will be paid in 60-70 days of its issuance. If you're going wrong, after four to five months.
Large companies pay their suppliers as six to eight months. Of all this, a bad trend that has exacerbated the crisis and made dramatic, the IRS does not care about high and the money they want it now, even if that money does not have either direct or seen from afar. Next Monday, November 16th, I will pay my monthly rate of VAT. Meanwhile I am pleading with those that I made out my last pay my bills. Humiliating? Yes, humiliating.
past few days and 30 November is the time of the advance income tax on income and deposit Irap 2009. A few days later ICI on my professional studio, the room where I keep my computer and my books. It 'a bloodbath, in times like these. I will go red in the bank, not the end of the world. The past few days, and December 16 will be the turn of the new monthly rate of VAT and therefore VAT is not other yet been received and that the state wants, and damn soon. But the worst is yet to come.
Eleven days later, on December 27, must pay the advance VAT on invoices issued in December. That means on money that you do not even feel the smell, on revenue of which do not yet entered into his pocket a penny. It 's a usurious loan upside you do to the state, in which a loan is usurious who collects an interest-free loan that serves the state to pay disability pensions, salaries of the rich regional directors and provincial serve no purpose, contributions to the party newspaper that nobody reads, keep alive for half a century become unprofitable institutions but also to do good things: health care to the poor, unemployment benefits to those who have lost their jobs.
that money to my bank to ask them, of course I will pay everything at once. God forbid. Did otherwise, how could I write my next article on the honest taxpayer of Chinese torture, the shame of a State convex productive work?
