Milan, Sept. 8 (LaPresse) – "In my opinion, to have higher salaries, especially for the lowest-paid, we can now work to ensure that the middle class does not become poor and those with the lowest incomes can see their wages increase. The solution is not called citizenship income, the solution is not called minimum wage, the solution is tax exemption for overtime, tax exemption for holidays, tax exemption for performance bonuses, and, looking ahead, one could consider a somewhat bold proposal—but why not? Tax exemption for the thirteenth salary. In short, the recipe is always a reduction in the tax burden. We’ll see what can be done," said Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and Forza Italia secretary Antonio Tajani, at an event at Assolombarda's headquarters in Milan. "There is a recipe," he emphasized, "which was Berlusconi’s classic one: fewer taxes, fewer taxes, fewer taxes, especially for the productive middle class in our country. That means reducing IRPEF from 35% to 33%, expanding the base up to 60,000 euros. The rewarding IRES needs to be revised, because we believe that helping companies that reinvest means boosting the economy even further."
