MANEUVER: COLDIRETTI, ‘STOP SUGAR TAX SAVES 5,000 JOBS’
‘The postponement of the sugar tax to 2023 saves over 5 thousand jobs and 180 million euros in turnover with a heavy snowball effect on the entire supply chain’ ‘. This is what the president of Coldiretti Ettore Prandini affirms in positively commenting on the measure contained in the budget maneuver approved by the Council of Ministers which provides for “the postponement of the plastic tax and sugar tax to 2023”.
” We were the first – underlines Prandini – to publicly ask for government intervention to review a tax that risks stopping the difficult recovery of the economy after the pandemic. Plastic and the sugar tax – underlines Prandini -. risk having an effect on the costs of companies that are already forced to face heavy increases, from transport to packaging ”.
” The objective of reducing plastic – specifies Prandini – must be pursued with a view to a wide-ranging strategic vision with rewarding incentives for development and research rather than punitive measures, above all because for some product categories there are currently no alternatives ”.
