Use social networks to check the compatibility of lifestyles and incomes . The latest addition to the Inland Revenue, currently under investigation.
The fight against tax evasion in Italy may take up to Facebook. The IRS is planning to use social networking as a tool to ferret out the possible tax evaders. Warning: it was not decided anything, but "we're thinking," said the Director of Revenue for Attilio Befera. What continued, "is to be seen, we are still in the early reflections, in ten days we will have a choice."
The ability to study is to use the conversations, pictures, and usually the material found on the pages of Facebook, Twitter and similar to search for items on the standard of living of the taxpayers, and to assess its compatibility with the declared income. A type of testing that already exists in some countries, as some U.S. states, where there have been controversies in particular related to privacy.
However, instead of what is certain is that within a few months will be finalized at the "Redditometro" , also a tool for finding faults in the revenue and expenditure of the taxpayers.
Software that, as stated by the Revenue, will be ready by June, while between May and June is expected to experiment with the associations category. A program where you can enter the assets and incomes and those of their family. In case of inconsistency, there is a second step that compares the standard of living by revenue, according to a set of indices to be developed.
All measures that go a little bit in the same direction, to use the tax as an indicator of living standards, to achieve a precise objective: to combat ' evasion, which subtracts each year to the Italian economy some 120 billion € .
The first results in the fight against tax evasion have already seen, last year were recovered about 25 billion . But the road is still long. This has been the same Befera "serve 10 years to defeat it." Play
