Now everything has already been decided by the government, the financial budget law has meant that the transit tax in Italy from 20 to 21%.
This will result in an increase though slight in prices of items for sale and for Italians the value of their purchasing power has been greatly reduced by inflation, surely will not improve for the better.
It is not yet written a list of every single increase in prices on the "Official Gazette" but you can already figure out which products are most affected, for example: shoes, cinema ticket, bus, train, tobacco, etc..
All this not to mention the ever-increasing fuel, which only estimated it will cost to travel by car at about 500 € 'year in more than before.
According to my impressions, I can understand that if the government decided a maneuver similar to the deficit, that Italy was in debt, but I want to emphasize this point, because the victim in this we're just ordinary people and poor people ?
