Following the news of Italy's official decision to abolish tax incentives for football, Serie A issued a statement to question it.
Serie A noted with shock and concern that reports of the Ministerial Council appeared to have decided not to approve the extension of the special financial regime for sports personalities to move to Italy.
If this decision is confirmed, the only result will be the exact opposite of what one is seeking.
As we have clearly and in detail mentioned in a written note that we have sent to ** in the last few days, this practice of killing eggs will make the club less competitive, and therefore less revenue, so much so that it will reduce the resources invested in the academy, and it will also reduce the funds that will be handed over to the state treasury.
Given that the proposal to extend the validity of the Growth Decree was approved before it was submitted to the Ministerial Conference, but was ultimately rejected, it leads us to believe that, influenced by some clichéd fallacies, a distorted view of football has once again prevailed.
Unfortunately, this view does not take into account the extraordinary economic, social and cultural role that our industry represents in Italy.
If the results of the ministerial meeting are finally confirmed, Serie A hopes that the parliament will be able to correct this mistake, which has harmed not only Italian football, but also all sports and their vast number of peripheral products.
