In 5 years the municipality of Rome collected only 34% of the tax on waste

Over the past 5 years, Capital has collected only 34% tax on waste from citizens. And he was able to recover only 20% of the fine issued. The data was provided during the presentation of the 2021 report, the last session of the city council by Capitoline councilor Sylvia Skócz for the budget.

“The difference between fines detected and collected is an endemic problem,” the councilor explained. “As far as TARI is concerned, it is worth 1.6 billion in provisions and 1.6 billion in fixed and latent active residues. We have to envision a system that will move towards an immediate response considering these resources are available. Carry it.”

However, the owners of the Capitoline accounts also wanted to point out, “It’s not that the Romans don’t want to pay”, in response to some of the objections raised by the opposition. Rather, “we have to change the collection system. Often the bill doesn’t come.” In short, by the same confession of Capital, “it is not a question of arrears but of our delay”.

“There are some elements that indicate a situation to change quickly and elements of suffering,” explains Skoczez during the presentation of the report. “The first thing is the income status. We have a bunch of active residues which is equal to 9.5 billion”. The “total amount” for committed and unspent resources is 2.8 billion. 5.6 billion is the total provision. These are resources available but which we cannot use and this is a problem that has to be solved. Provision of various types of potential loans up to Rs.207 million and equivalent to Rs.366 million”.
