The European Union once again abdicated his duties postponing the application of the OECD tax web, thanks to the votes against Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Yet it would be enough to impose the permanent establishment to introduce, with simplicity, the tax.

Think of a bicycle race. All the athletes in the saddle of a bicycle which runs thanks to the muscular force exerted on the pedals. The athlete with more dedication to training and, why not, also it has a natural talent, should win….

In a fair competition scenario in which all the players compete on equal terms, it is customary to recite : "may the best win"!

Unfortunately in reality, sometimes, There are dishonest athletes using doping to increase muscle performance and endurance… and some people, not happy, also he wants to have "an edge" and is installed inside the frame of your bike a small electric motor to easily meet opponents….

A sleazy scene and nauseous where the winner is NOT the best, but the most dishonest.

In the light of all the authorities and the cycling control bodies shall take steps to punish and eradicate these disgraceful phenomena.

But in the world ICT this is not happening, rather, It has allowed and continues to allow the most cunning of winning without having about, through tax conditions, define asymmetrical, It is merely euphemistic.

L'Europe ( of our government…not that of values ​​and peoples! ) once again he abdicated his duties postponing the application of all webtax’ OECD, thanks to the votes against Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

As it happens these states, while creating jobs and food places a stagnant local economy and no potential developments, hosting locations and installations of October offering tax conditions dream ( with tax rates "finite", of minor 1% !!!)

This is simply unfair tax competition….but if he had merely as a purpose to attract large companies to operate in that state and specific enough (!), little or no would the damage to other countries.

Instead, what is razing the competitive ability of ALL Europe, It is the conjunction between the tax asymmetry of some European states of the monolithic mixed all'annacquamento, clear and simple concept of permanent establishment.

What is the permanent establishment?! l’art. 162 the DPR 917/1986 It defines it as “a fixed place of business through which the non-resident enterprise is wholly or partly carried on in the State” .

In other words, the principle that any extra-territorial entity and operates in the territory of a sovereign state with a complex of laws and regulations common and shared, MUST declare and establish a local office for legal representation.

That is a place in which the company acquires its legal capacity becoming in fact, hold the rights and duties…including tax! In other words , if you want to open a shop you have to respect the laws that apply in that territory and you have to pay taxes on the profits they generate on site…otherwise, you're simply acting in an illegitimate.

Exempting October application of the rule that defines the permanent establishment endorsed, in technology, not just doping and electric motors, but even carpets confidential nails all the pursuers…. Who is able to compete with those who do not pay taxes, warning everyone and everything, It does not have the same responsibilities of who is editor while doing the same job ?! NOBODY.

in fact, in 15 the years’ Europe has become a tabula rasa in the ICT sector…look back on some big brands like Nokia and Ericcsson who ruled unchallenged until the early years of 2000 and a host of other companies in the publishing and advertising industry…Then something changed in market rules, something has changed in the market, something has changed in those who had to oversee ....

When the merit, the truth and the respect of the rules is watered down and mystified there is always a concert of guilt, but surely the conductor is primarily responsible.

For the tax issue, the conductor is the Europe…but not Europe as an emanation and expression of the union of countries that have created the culture and the essence of the West, but as a government of these values…. so that ugly and ramshackle Europe that still, for the umpteenth time, blasted tax harmonization which would have immediately started to restore the balance in the center.

The same Europe that creaky blatantly delay allowed the OTT monopolize the massive collection of data and indiscriminate, arginandola laboriously ( thanks to lobbies operating in October ganglia Brussels ) with GDPR, only since last 25 May 2018!

All this has contributed greatly to cause economic decline, financial and productive Europe.

The crisis we are experiencing is structural and not cyclical and is due to these nefarious policies.

L'Europa in Junker ( Former prime minister from LUXEMBOURG 1995 al 2013… ) He stepped on a founding principle for a healthy democracy and a strong economy: the Great Pareto.

The excellent, in the specific case, It is reached when changing the conditions of application of tax rules you can increase someone's wellbeing without diminishing someone else….and the persons summoned are the beating hearts of Europe's innovative capacity, production and tax: companies!

If you want to compete on equal terms in the ICT sector, if you can not you can not equate the tax regimes , that it allows it to ALL European companies to have the same treatment to almost zero taxation….then you that you will soon could establish who is the best!

Just to equate the considerations offered here, just think that anyone who wants to work on and in the American territory and / or Chinese and / or Russian can not tell, "the tale" that the servers being out of the territory can not set up a permanent establishment…try to see what would be the reaction!

France ( https://www.corrierecomunicazioni.it/digital-economy/web-tax-parigi-non-si-ferma-pronto-un-piano-da-mezzo-miliardo/ ) and Great Bratagna ( yet officially with foot in both camps: that of Europe and the brexit https://www.corrierecomunicazioni.it/digital-economy/web-tax-la-gran-bretagna-brucia-tutti-sul-tempo-dal-2020-via-al-balzello/ ) They began to move by themselves for taxing October. Italy after silences "inexplicable" of previous governments, in the Budget Law 2019, has approved its web tax with parameters similar to those French: companies with a global turnover of more than 750 million EUR and profits generated in Italy exceeding 5,5 millions. But they have not yet approved the decrees.
A web tax still on paper.

What Europe could rise from its ashes and that the rulers stating in a transparent and fair rules to compete starting from a level playing, because we Europeans want to win as best to innovate and not best to steal.
