Junior Economy Minister Enrico Zanetti said Thursday that the a measure to take away fines and interest in tax-dispute cases will on average halve the amount owed by the taxpayers involved. The measure features in a tax decree linked to the government's 2017 budget and is part of the scrapping of the widely despised Equitalia tax-debt collection agency. Zanetti told parliament that the tax-debt collection system had been "more ferocious than efficient for too many years".
