The Law Decree no. 73 (article no. 6), issued on 25 May 2021, introduced a national fund with an endowment of €600 million for the year 2021, aimed at granting a waste tax break to the enterprises whose activity has undergone a slowdown or a decline during the pandemic emergency. The waste tax is collected by the municipalities for the services of urban waste collection, transport and disposal or recovery. Through this national fund transferred to the local governments, the municipalities are allowed to guarantee a tax break to the enterprises operating in their territory of administrative competence.
The division of the fund among the interested municipalities is provided by a decree of the Minister of the Interior in agreement with the Minister of Economy and Finance, after having set an agreement in the State-Cities Conference and the local authorities.
The municipalities, in charge of collecting the requests of tax break submitted by the enterprises, may determine, in compliance with the criteria of procedural simplification by means of telematic tools, their own method and procedure for the submission of the demands by the beneficiary economic activities.
