He ends up in the government's sights also the Church: in the maxi-amendment, Indeed, the stop to Ires benefits for the Church appears. The news was relaunched by AdnKronos, according to which this is one of the measures introduced in the maxi amendment of the government to the maneuver. At the government summit last Sunday at Palazzo Chigi the hypothesis of collecting the IMU was discussed, applying, with an ad hoc standard, the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union which required the Church to pay ICI on properties commercial and government to recover it, reforming a Commission decision that excluded the church from paying the tax over the years 2008-2012 by virtue of the fact that it was impossible to collect it. Ma, moving in this direction, the proceeds would end up in the coffers of the Municipalities. Hence the government's decision to fall back on IRES. According to an investigation by’Espresso, the exemption enjoyed by the Church on IRES is worth almost a saving for the Vatican 1 billion euros.
