Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said
Wednesday that the League/5-Star Movement (M5S) government is
aiming to clamp down in tax evasion and fraud and use the money
to finance tax cuts.
"The Italian government will commit itself to putting into act
initiatives to combat evasion and fraud, with the awareness that
only effective action against illegality can lead to greater
resources to reduce the tax-to-GDP ratio," he told an event
organized by the finance police.
The minister said the tax-to-GDP ratio was "high" and
bringing it down would help sustain economic growth.
