As part of the approval process of the directives for economic development, the government has accepted the agenda signed by Amedeo Laboccetta, member of Parliament, regarding the payment of the Unified State Tax (PREU) charged to dealers for the operation of NewSlot machines. As a condition, it has been requested to modify the amendment by deleting the beginning of the second paragraph of the directive, after the words: "to clarify", the words: "during the application" (in consequence what would be left is: "to clarify that the above-mentioned dealers"). The following is the text of the agenda.
This House, whereas:
with the approval of the Decree Law under examination, bearing urgent directives for the economic development, the simplification, the competiveness, the stabilisation of public finances and the equalization of taxes, the Government has taken steps to issue rules aimed at improving the efficiency of the financial administration in order to guarantee its greater efficiency for the proper fulfilment of its tax collection obligations; the efficiency of the financial administration must be pursued also by ensuring that the financial directives are clear in their application of the primary regulations, aimed at maximising tax revenues; Art. 1, comma 81 and following commas of the Law dated 27 December, 2006, no. 296, defined the tax nature of the Unified State Tax (PREU) on the revenues from games conducted via gaming machines as per Art. 110, comma 6, of the unified text of the Public Order Laws, referred to in the Royal decree dated 18 June, 1931, no. 773; it is necessary to continue the action taken to fight against illegal gaming as well as to boost and ensure the tax revenues from the legal gaming sector; commits the Government:
to ensure that the payment of the Unified State Tax (PREU) due for the accounting periods and for the calendar year on the basis of data correctly forwarded by dealers, as taxable entities obliged to pay this tax deemed to be payable only as relating to the period from 1 January, 2007, is made according to the terms required by Art. 39-bis of the Decree Law no. 269 of 2003 (as converted by the Law dated 24 November, 2003, no. 326, and following modifications and inclusions);
to clarify that the above-mentioned dealers, not being tax collectors and/or collection agents, nor in any way comparable to them, are obliged to pay in full the taxes for which they undertake the exclusive role as taxable entities, and such tax remains exclusively chargeable to the same dealers as recipients of the taxes collected.
