Of the above amount, 4.59m. euros concern 14,985 natural persons and 1.37 million euros concern 820legal entities.
POMIDA requested that the political leadership of the Ministry of Finance propose to the Prime Minister the abolition of the supplementary tax of ENFIA, in view of his speech at the D.E.T.

This will partially limit the fierce looting of private real estate, which manifests itself in income taxation and many other and constantly increasing burdens.
