Kitchen fiscal incentives

The following statement was released by FederlegnoArredo president Rosario Messina about the introduction of tax allowances for kitchen furniture and appliances.
“We have heard about the introduction of fiscal incentives which, among several categories, also include kitchen furniture.
We see this as an important measure for one of our industry segments, though absolutely insufficient and inadequate to support the entire wood-furniture supply chain represented by our Federation.
Though deserving the attention it has received, kitchen furniture is just one portion of an industrial system, i.e. wood and furniture, that represents a valuable asset for the whole country and that, in our opinion, should be safeguarded.
In this respect, the law passed today sounds even offensive for the entrepreneurs of our industry, who are not protected at all and, furthermore, had been waiting for this decision after several months of promises. Such promises have held back consumption, as buyers postponed their purchases hoping for discounts and benefits that have proved to be just an illusion”.
