small businesses and professionals
The reasons independent of
There is a generation of producers who deserves to be listened to attentively. They are small businesses and professionals in this country. The lintel of passion and expertise that supports the basic economic system, and the myriad of social cells that innervate the civilian community. Self independent. But even invisible. And often treated badly, as documented by investigations Dario Di Vico. If the shot is imminent, will see you in the front row. The risk, however, is that many, but seeing signs of confidence in their work at the end of the tunnel there even arrives. A million small businesses, industry, commerce and crafts and 300 000 professionals are in danger. There is an urgent signal. Concrete. We must grasp the mood of this vital generation pro-pro (producers and professionals), and recognizes the dignity, social function, the irreplaceable role of civic participation. The ideas are there. The occasion immediate as well: the debate on the budget. The Italian economy is not just for large companies and superbanche. The small is not an anomaly but a resource. Unfortunately limited. And fragile. Does not, except in rare cases, incentives. In the bank is a customer looked at with more suspicion than with respect. The moratorium on debts, good thing, he only touched. It does not have access to the credit of big business, which, when supplier, delays, like the State, payments. If you close one hundred small businesses, shops and studies, the social damage is even greater than the crisis of a major factory. But no one notices. The shock absorbers? Expanded but insufficient or no (For professionals). So, what to do? Approve, for example, the proposal for a status of the undertakings made by Raffaello Vignali, vice president of Productive Activities Commission of the House, which already has 120 signatures and is added to the bipartisan package of simplifications related to the budget. Enough with the jungle of permissions and permits. And again, why not consider a single communication (telematics) on the launching of activities, made only to the Chambers of Commerce, and private alternative to self? No a lot of checks made by too many bodies. Only one test is enough. The bureaucracy weighs heavily on the companies to one percent of GDP: 15 billion. On tax purposes, the reduction in the IRAP should start with a franchise that favors smaller or greater deductibility of interest expense. It is to strengthen the structure of the consortia, improving safeguards for small businesses, but above all to eliminate the surcharge tax debt. The Tremonti b (taxation of purchases of equipment) should also include investments in technology, other equipment, training, improvement of public services and be extended to professional firms. Concerning justice, if only to further expand the mandatory mediation, already partly launched by the government, involving the various professions, the upheaval of a quantity unnecessary lawsuits. These are just some of the measures that could find support cross. Many do not even have a cost. Do not do it, or even delayed, would give the impression to those who invent their future every day that the country awards and more cunning, the protected and the arrogant.
