Relaunch decree, from the € 300 online voucher to the reimbursement of bus and train passes

Month, first aid from the EU, but not enough. 10-year loans, 0.1% interest

The effects
There is a regulation that provides for the reimbursement of bus, subway and train passes that buyers were unable to use during the government-imposed shutdown. And then funds for green public transport to favor electric buses, but also municipal lifts and funiculars, reminiscent of Raggi’s board project for Roma Capitale. There are new bonuses. Like the 300 euros to pay for Internet connections that would go to those who earn citizenship income. There are self-certification proposals for many documents necessary to receive guaranteed loans and many crimes are better defined, also imposing to indicate the purpose of the loan and expanding the scope for some types in the anti-cunning function. The rules for the IGC are simplified and extend for 12 weeks. Discounts are also foreseen in highway concession rates, to adapt them to the actual kilometers traveled, few, in this period. There is an idea to put a limit on the final price, including VAT, of the different types of masks and gels. The price indicated for surgical masks is 1.5 euros, but the Ministry of Development has specified that there is no setback in the price already established at 0.50 euros. The thresholds are also indicated for the other types (up to 9.5 euros for Fpp3) and for disinfectants: from 2 euros for non-alcoholic solutions (package of up to 400 ml) to 7.20 euros for large containers based on hypochlorite of sodium

There are funds to save historical marks, billions for municipalities to be allocated to rebuilding the roads, the extension of another 15 years of incentives for renewable sources for already depreciated plants, the simplification of public competition procedures with requests that They will be presented only online on public or private platforms. There is also a substantial package for publication support: a one-time contribution of 500 euros to newspapers, a tax credit equivalent to 8% of the expenses incurred in the year 2019 for the purchase of the card, within the spending limit of 24 million euros for 2020 and a 50% deduction for advertising campaigns and a VAT relief for newspapers.

THE PACKAGE
In addition to requests from ministries, the decree continues to be enriched with rules. A central package will be the support and revitalization of tourism, the sector most affected by the coronavirus crisis. The government is preparing for extraordinary measures. There will be a tax credit for 2020 in favor of family members with an Isee income of no more than 35,000 for the payment of services offered nationwide by tourist accommodation companies. The credit, which can be used by a single member for each family, is equal to 500 euros for each family; 300 euros for families made up of two people and 150 euros for families made up of one person. But there is also a kind of hotel saving rule. The government is considering establishing a specific hotel fund.

The hypothesis, which is on the MEF tables, foresees the establishment of a fund “from which hotel business owners can quickly obtain liquidity against the transfer of partial property, protection and cadastral values, with the expectation of being able to proceed with reimbursement of the loan obtained in a period of time provided. ” Yesterday, the undersecretary of Economic Affairs, Pierpaolo Baretta, said that the tourism sector will also have other measures that will be included in the decree. Baretta mentioned non-repayable loans for SMEs with a turnover of less than 5 million per year, which in the tourism sector represent more than 90% of companies. “But”, he explained, “assistance and liquidity are not enough, we need to restart the sector, give security to customers and reduce management costs. For this reason, “he added,” we are working to ensure that the May Cosap decree is suspended for six months, and that the relative reimbursement of lost revenue to the municipalities is expected. This is accompanied by the acceleration of administrative procedures for issuing authorizations.

The maneuver

Health

Extraordinary for doctors and new facilities.
The relaunch decree will increase resources to pay for the many additional hours of work done with enormous sacrifices and a sense of duty during the emergency medical period by doctors, healthcare workers, and law enforcement agencies. For this, another 250 million are added to the funds already allocated for 2020, for a total of 500 million euros. They will serve to pay overtime “for employees of companies and entities of the National Health Service”, and also for “the hiring of postgraduates and the assignment of self-employment jobs to health personnel.” Autonomous regions and provinces may increase, with their own resources available under current legislation, with additional resources.

income

A bonus of 300 euros online.
Never like now: between online lessons, smart work, video conferencing, etc. – It was understood how crucial it is to be equipped with a fast internet network and a device. But unfortunately not all families have an Internet subscription at home, a tablet or a PC. Therefore, the decree foresees that the “beneficiaries of the income of the citizenship” provide “electronic bonds” of three hundred euros for the purchase of goods and services of IT, hardware and software and connectivity. To be able to use it, you must be “in possession of a certified digital home by email or other qualified certified electronic delivery service.” The bond does not constitute the taxable income of the beneficiary and is not relevant to the calculation of the value of the Isee. The rule is worth a total of $ 700 million by 2020.

transport

Refund of bus and train tickets.
The reimbursement of the subscription for public transport arrives, from the bus to the subway, from the train to the vaporetto, for the part not used due to the closure. Applies to subscriptions purchased through March 10, 2020 and valid during the emergency stop months. Also in the field of public transport, there is also the possibility of financing local authorities for the development of funiculars, treadmills and electric buses in cities. The provision actually expands the scope of law 211/92 for interventions in rapid mass transit systems, extending contributions also to urban connection systems such as elevators, treadmills, rapid mass transit systems with traction. cable or electrical that are powered or recharged with continuous or discrete power systems.

jobs

Smart work for parents with children under 14
It is no longer just the company that decides which employees can access the smart work mode. The new decree could include the proposal that provides for the possibility for parents with at least one child under the age of 14 to request and work remotely until the end of the epidemiological emergency. It would refer to employees in the private sector, obviously in situations where remote work is compatible with the type of service requested. Smart work can also be accomplished through IT tools at employee availability if the employer does not provide them. The proposal is contained in the working document for the definition of the relaunch decree, along with a substantial package for agile work in the AP.

sports

Raise funds with betting money
Creation of a “Fund for the revitalization of the national sports system”; 200 million for the bonus of the workers and the extension of the payment of the rent. These are the three measures in favor of sport that appear in the draft Relaunch Decree. The establishment of the Fund will be financed with 1% of the collection of sports betting of all kinds, including virtual ones, made both online and through traditional channels. The rate is expected to be no less than thirty-five million euros for 2020 and 40 million for each of the years 2021 and 2022. 200 million for the 600 euros of subsidy for sports workers for the months of April and May are transferred a Sport and Health. Finally, blocking the payment of leases and concessions related to the award of public sports facilities for sports clubs, professionals and fans, until June 30. Amounts that can be paid in a single payment before July 31 or in four monthly installments.

Bars and restaurants

No occupancy tax until October.
Restaurants and bars will be exempt from paying Tosap, the tax on the occupation of public lands, until October 31. The procedure for using public spaces in front of the venue is also simplified: the concession by the local authority will not be necessary, but “communication from the business owner” will suffice. As is known, bars and restaurants have not only been forced to remain closed for two months, but when they reopen they will have to do so in strict compliance with the provisions on physical space. This will lead to a decrease in the tables and seats inside: hence the possibility of “widening” on the sidewalks in front of the room. The technical report estimates the lower revenues for the municipalities of 127.5 million, which would be restaurants by the state.
