International survey on the respect for privacy: principle of accountability and enforcement of EU Regulation 679/2016.

At the end of 2018, a few months after the full applicability of EU Regulation 679/2016 on the protection of personal data, most companies and public bodies have understood the concepts promoted by the Regulation related to the principle of accountability; despite this, there are still significant shortcomings in the effective implementation of specific policies for the protection of personal data.

With the entry into force of the Law n. 26/2019, converting DL no. 4/2019, are changed the rules for retiring for interventions that provide for the introduction of the โ€œquota 100โ€, in addition to the current retirement channels: โ€œpensione anticipate e pensione di vecchiaiaโ€(early retirement and old-age pension), together with the extension of the โ€œOpzione donnaโ€ (female option) the extension for one year of โ€œApe Socialโ€ for the less-favoured categories, the suspension of the life expectancy adjustments of the early retirement, the facilitated redemption of the degree, the cd. โ€œpace contributiveโ€ (Contributory peace) and the introduction of โ€œReddito di cittadinanzaโ€ (citizenship income) and other related measures.

Tax benefits for unspecialized employees : for football players and professional sportsmen, working in Italy is more convenient.

The cd. Growth Decree approved by the Government last Thursday 4 April and โ€œsubject to agreementsโ€, therefore not yet definitive, provides, among different tax innovations, a particularly favorable treatment for the football players who come to play in Italy. In fact, by way of extension of the facilitated regime already in place for the c.d. โ€œimpatriatiโ€ (i.e. those who intend to transfer their residence in Italy), Irpef would apply only on 30% of the income taxable produced by unspecialized employees. The treatment would be even more advantageous in case the employee resides in a Southern Italy region, where the tax base drops to 10% of the income produced.
