The mayors are obliged to inform the public, but it is almost impossible to disentangle the budgets

The mayors are obliged to inform the public, but it is almost impossible to disentangle the budgets. Most of the resources in transport, security, green, and drinking fountains. Transparency is just a campaign slogan. A call for the usual devotees
Rome. Where does the money of Tasi? The law that established the tax on services indivisible says loud and clear that the auditors scales of measurement must clearly "analytic" not only the revenue received from the property, but also the use made of it in terms of public services funded. And they must do so in a clear and transparent. So on the websites of the municipalities, for example. Is that so? No. In order to understand the target of the most tormented of heavy taxes, the citizen should be a bloodhound computer, an expert on public budgets and fast calculation. Open as resolutions, accounting documents and programmatic reports, regulations, drafts. And so on, and so forth. And then the tables, percentages apply, always have time to waste. In short, an immense effort. Yet it should not be so. And not just because transparency is a legal obligation. But because of the very nature of Tasi, this year and for the first time in Italian history no more real estate scales of measurement tax, but tax for services received. But no. Other than "I see, I pay, vote." Here's fiscal federalism (yet) even the shadow.
The Service territorial scales of measurement policies of the UIL has tried. And went to comb through the maze of accounting records of eight major cities - Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bologna, Venice, Florence and Naples - to understand what happens to the taxes on the house. And discovering that serve to cover, on average, just over a third, 38% of the total cost of the services indivisible, ie those not offered to individual application, such as kindergartens or school transport, but for the community. Meanwhile, almost no municipality respects the law, where the 147 of 2013 says that the list of services funded by Tasi with this amount should be included in the Regulation itself of the tax. The information is a bit 'here, a bit' in the financial statements (if approved), a bit 'in the programmatic reports.
Rome is at the top of the confusion. Indicates 627 million in services funded by Tasi. But the estimated revenue of the tax is lower and indicated in the Regulations 572 million scales of measurement and 636 million in the budget. How is it possible? Figures in part, to the top of the services are 'Mobility scales of measurement and transport' more than 300 million. No surprise, given that in total the service for bus and metro, not exactly flawless, coast to the Capitol around 1 billion a year, a third Tasi therefore paid by the Romans. Do they know? In third place, with 47 million is the "road maintenance, public parks, lighting." Between holes, falling trees at each rain, the roads in the dark, not really a nice way to use the proceeds of the tax.
The City of Milan is more analytical and transparent. But like Genoa leaves the citizen-accountant division of the pie Tasi: As for what services. In the first place, in the city of Milan's scales of measurement public order and safety: 77 million on revenue of 165 Tasi. Then the carriage (57) and the environment (18). Turin gets 136 million from the tax and beyond the 71 employees for firefighters and 18 for lighting, curiously scales of measurement indicates a million for the drinking fountains. I wonder if the owners of Turin appreciate. Venice did not approve the 2014 financial statements and, therefore, it is not clear if the 40 million of the cost of the services or not they correspond to the revenue Tasi. So Naples indicates 7 indivisible services to be financed by the Tasi (environment, scales of measurement roads, building, civil, security, service, trade). But nothing: neither revenue from the tax, or breakdown. Nothing at all. So much for transparency.
The City of Florence to guide Nardella brings the revenue Tasi in relation to programmatic budget scales of measurement (40 and a half million). It lets you know that half will go to the local police and environment, scales of measurement part (about 14 million) for social welfare services and a chip, about 282 thousand euro, for library services. Bologna and Genoa are the only ones with the Tasi also cover the 'cost of institutional bodies. scales of measurement " Bologna and Genoa are therefore aware of their Tasi also contribute to the salary of the mayor and city councilors? Who knows. But Bologna is also the only one at the top of indivisible services covered by Tasi urban security. Genoa rather not detail and it is not clear how many of the 21 services (which in total cost to the citizens 192 million) scales of measurement from 75.4 million quantities of food are collected from the brick. Curious, this fiscal federalism. (Republic, September 8, 2014)
