Interview with Concetta Lo Porto; Senior Tax Lawyer, Gruppo Intesa San Paolo

Commentary:
“The economy operates through the taxation system. Fiscal maneuvers can determine the economic direction of a country. Taxation is a planning tool. Economic choices should not be made for fiscal reasons alone, but fiscal factors can help in the decision making as they can be used as incentives. A fiscal efficient state is able to distribute the fiscal pressure equally and use taxation to incentivize strategic sectors.”

We talk to ‘CoCo’ Lo Porto about Fiscal systems and the role of government, private sector and citizens in rebuilding the economy after the pandemic.
