Approximately a year after its implementation, the Italian legislation surrounding the Waste Tax (TARI) remains a somewhat contentious issue, particularly for businesses that produce special waste or companies involved in waste disposal and management. These entities often require a clearer interpretation of the rules, which would facilitate easier access to the available reductions and exemptions related to tax payments. Unfortunately, the criteria for these benefits are not widely known and are not always applied consistently across the country.
The issue is crucial, not only due to the significant economic implications TARI has for companies and individuals but also because of the lack of clear information and the various existing interpretations of the rules. In response to this common concern, TRS, which operates in the waste management industry, has decided to organise a conference aimed at addressing the essential regulatory and operational aspects of producing and disposing of special waste (both assimilated and non-assimilated). The goal is to clarify the current provisions - often little known or contradictory - that can lead to real savings on TARI, while also paying special attention to the vital role of municipally licensed companies and the issues concerning competition in this sector.
