The new tax raises critical issues and, with the interpretation still unclear, it could be highly distorting for some companies based in Italy. The webinar was attended by Roberta Moscaroli and Chiara Bocchi, who highlighted the key issues for some specific sectors and tried to give some possible solutions.
