The Councilor for Agriculture of the Calabria Region, Michele Trematerra, responds to the increase in the hunting tax, asserting that the adjustment is due by law.
A note from the Calabria Region reads the response of the commissioner Michele Trematerra to the invectives of the councilor Mauro Tripodi on the increase in the regional hunting tax and states that "these are administrative acts due by law".
The commissioner Trematerra explains on the question, "In fact, in article 23, Law 157/92 (Regional concession fees), paragraph 2, establishes that the tax referred to in paragraph 1 is subject to annual renewal and can be fixed in measure not less than 50% and not more than 100% of the revenue tax referred to in number 26, sub-number I, of the tariff annexed to the decree of the President of the Republic of October 26, 1972, no. 641, and subsequent amendments ".
Furthermore, the commissioner continues, “Law no.31 of 2005 March 43 in art. 9, annex 2-ter "changes to taxes on government concessions" lists the updated amounts of taxes on government concessions and sets the national tax for the issue and annual renewal of the hunting license for rifle port under Title II "Public security" and qualification for hunting for € 168,00 ".
Continuing continues Trematerra explains, "The Regional Law of 23 December 2001 n.47 in article 14 paragraph 2 establishes that from the year 2012 the amounts of the tax on regional concessions, as indicated in the tariff attached to the legislative decree 22 June 1991 n.230 , increased by 20%. Therefore, the regional tax has been updated to € 100,80 determined as follows: € 84,00 as a result of art. 9 of law 43/2005 (just 50% of the government tax); euro 16,80 due to the effect of art. 14 of Regional Law 47/2011 ".
In conclusion, Trematerra underlines, “So the increase is the result of legal provisions applied to the minimum allowed. Failure to apply would result in damage to the tax authorities that could be sanctioned by the Court of Auditors ".
