The Sardinia Region suspends the payment of the regional tax on productive activities, Irap , for companies in the supply chain that manage accommodation facilities , which have their tax domicile and operational headquarters on the island and which have been operational since 1 January 2014.

«Tourism continues to be the strength of the Sardinian economy – says the president Solinas – capable of having a positive and incisive effect on employment and of triggering that virtuous circle that our economy needs».

For Solinas, the island «has managed to close the last tourist seasons, including the most critical ones due to the pandemic, with record numbers , demonstrating its attractiveness and the charm that makes it a privileged destination, both for national tourism and both for the foreign one. We expect a positive trend even with the bathing season just around the corner, capable of once again confirming the island among the most popular and sought-after tourist destinations".

«With the suspension of both the advance payment and the balance of the Irap due for the current year , we are supporting the growth of the tourism sector, giving strength and legs to a measure that we consider strategic to accompany the development of the sector , in line with the actions so far adopted by the Regional Council to support the economic recovery and development of our Island - adds the Councilor for the Budget, Giuseppe Fasolino -. Relieving companies operating in the sector from a fiscal point of view and doing everything possible to lighten the burden of bureaucracy is an objective that we have set ourselves and that we are pursuing ».
The measure, for which there is an obligation to repay it in five years , will be usable following a request to be presented to Ase, the Sardinian Revenue Agency, fully operational since January and which, in implementation of article 12 of the regional law 17 /2021, has published the suspension of the regional tax on the portal of fiscal federalism.
Tourist accommodation companies will be able to take advantage of the subsidy within the limits of the resources available in the RAS budget and in compliance with the limits imposed by the EU Regulation on de minimis aid . The ASE will inform about the methods of access to the measure through its website after the approval of the directives by the Regional Council and with the publication of the specific notice.
