The season of tax reforms is not over. Just as the deadline for the first implementation of the guidelines contained in the tax delegation expires, a clear signal arrives from the Ministry of Economy not to consider the matter closed for the chapters that can still be explored and developed. “Complete the tax reform through the issuance of implementing measures with the aim of simplifying tax obligations, reducing administrative burdens on taxpayers, and promoting a tax system oriented towards growth.” This is one of the messages contained in the policy guidance for defining political priorities for the year 2027 signed by the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti.

An act that not only concerns the tax chapter but broadly covers the areas of intervention of Via XX Settembre (eight priorities are developed from public finance management to international activities supporting the country’s economic and strategic interests) indicating the common thread of “generation of public value, in line with the objectives of equitable and sustainable well-being, the 2030 Agenda, and the interventions provided by the PNRR” and confirming “the commitment to promote governance oriented towards results, capable of responding with transparency, responsibility, and vision to the challenges of the present and future.”
The reference scenario is that outlined by the DFP (public finance document) last April, where elements of uncertainty remain due to the evolution of the international context. A framework characterized by the effects of the conflict in the Middle East, on which the Government has had to intervene several times (the latest being last Wednesday) to mitigate the impact of rising fuel costs. A context in which, however, the Executive reiterates its commitment to protecting the purchasing power of families and the competitiveness of the production system, continuing measures to support incomes and business liquidity. The policy guidance indicates that a constant review of spending priorities will be pursued, directing resources towards the most strategic areas for the country. Therefore, the evolution of the macroeconomic framework and public finance over the next three years appears closely linked to developments in global geopolitical tensions.

In such a dynamic, fiscal policy is a strategic key from various perspectives, ranging from taxpayer services to the ability through controls to intercept tax evasion and avoidance phenomena (also at international and EU levels) and to promote legal certainty, which is one of the drivers of investments, especially foreign ones. In detailing the highlights of the chapter, one of the priorities indicated is to “fully implement the tax reform by monitoring its effects also for possible corrective interventions.” Therefore, monitoring the ex-post impact of interventions to understand where adjustments can be made. This shows that the delegation matter is far from over at the 90th minute of the game scheduled for the first implementation, but rather that – despite the end of the legislature – it is a path to be continued, perhaps to avoid wasting both the effort made so far and the push to simplify the Italian tax system. For this reason, the document encourages improving the quality of information sources supporting fiscal policy analyses also through the use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and, among other things, outlines the guidelines for direction, monitoring, and control of tax agencies to “improve services provided to taxpayers, promote compliance at reduced costs,” that is, all critical points on which the implementation of the tax delegation has decisively focused. Not to mention the need “to strengthen the effectiveness of controls and the recovery of tax revenue, also in the customs sector, excise duties, and gaming, as well as to optimize the performance of tax litigation, enforced collection, and management of the State’s real estate assets.” However, the challenges are many, including those imposed by the use of digital technologies; for this reason, the act also intends to “enhance the participation of the tax sector in creating the national cybersecurity ecosystem.”
Closely connected to the priority related to taxation is also that on tax justice. Here the intention is to continue the reform path of tax justice and tax proceedings, in continuity with the objectives of the PNRR, aimed “at making the tax litigation sector more efficient through a rationalization of the structures of judicial offices and their staffing.” But not only that, as the aim is to “continue the evolutionary development of the IT applications of the telematic tax process and to enhance the digital services available to users, in line with technological evolution and new provisions on privacy and cybersecurity.”
