Home bonus, the online portal still blocked after the approval of the anti-fraud decree

The communication channel with the Inland Revenue is still blocked for sending the documents necessary to request the discounts on the invoice and the transfer of the credits provided for by the building bonuses .

From Friday and for the entire weekend, everything has remained stationary, following the entry into force of the law decree 157/2021, which combats fraud.

The entity had to stop the possibility of transmitting documents pending adaptation of the platform to the new regulatory provisions. A stop, the release of which is scheduled for the beginning of this week.

The director of the Agency, Ernesto Maria Ruffini, made it known that the site maintenance works will be carried out quickly: "The reopening of the channel will be promptly communicated to users".

The total amount of fraud on home bonuses, including the Superbonus, he explained again, "amounts to 950 million, almost a billion and almost all monetized".

"We did a series of checks and checked the most diverse things: jobs billed but only on paper, bills made by non-construction companies, even butchers who issued bills for construction work," he added. Offenses that justified the urgency of government intervention.

The new bonus discipline has received criticism from some trade associations, according to which the obligation to certify the appropriateness of expenses will entail new economic burdens that will be borne by users. "It is incomprehensible", Confartigianato Imprese, Cna and Casartigiani said, "because to replace a simple boiler or even just a window, the new charge risks being more expensive than the tax benefit. Moreover, it is not yet clear who will have to issue the tax. sworn statement and what content it must have ".

Doubts about the new procedures were also expressed by the deputies of the 5 Star Movement Riccardo Fraccaro, Luca Sut and Patrizia Terzoni: "If we do not open a serious reflection on the recent interventions relating to the Superbonus 110%, we run the serious risk of a chaotic situation being generated such as to nullify the effects of the extension that the M5S strongly wanted ".
