But are we really sure the receipt lottery will start soon? Meanwhile, Confesercenti raises more than one question: Only one cash register in three is equipped. Therefore, in view of the receipt lottery, all is not well. We are in Italy and anything can happen. The receipt lottery is due to start in January 2021. There have already been several extensions.
Difficulties
Meanwhile, thousands of companies in the trade, restaurants and services have serious difficulties to renovate the cash register or proceed with the adaptation of the old one. It is not only a financial problem, but above all a time problem. Consequently, Confesercenti requests a postponement of the starting period of six months. Will the government accept the proposal?
Billing collapse
The neighborhood merchants have suffered an incredible collapse in turnover due to the health emergency. Honestly, they have something else to think about today. Many activities due to forced closures, zero turnover and an uncertain future have not yet been able to complete the necessary investments.
How much does it cost to update the payment?
Adjusting the cash registers comes at a cost. Confesercenti estimates a global investment of 400 million euros for all companies. Right now, with the winds of crisis blowing and nothing good in the short term, even a small expense weighs more than it should. Then there is the prospect of a mild Christmas due to the ongoing pandemic.
With such a confusing picture, it would be better to postpone the receipt lottery. Thousands of consumers and small retailers have other problems to solve.
Distortion of competition
The Confederation of Merchants has more doubts about the rules established for the Receipt Lottery. Confesercenti points the finger at the mode: issuing more receipts gives a greater chance of victory. In this way, the giants of large retailers have a clear advantage over small retailers. Will the government be covered or will it continue like a train? So all is not going well for the receipt lottery.
