JAKARTA - Deputy Prime Minister of Italy who is also the Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Matteo Salvini has proposed the implementation of an additional tax of 5 percent on the 10 largest banks in the country.
"We will ask, and the League Party will also ask, for a contribution of three years from the 10 largest Italian banks. Based on profits of 30 billion euros (Rp616.6 trillion), (an additional) 5 percent per year is enough," Salvini said as quoted by the newspaper Sole 24 Ore reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, August 12.
Salvini believes all parties in the ruling coalition will support the proposal. He also hopes that Italian banks will reap profits of 40-50 billion euros (Rp822 trillion to Rp1 trillion) by 2027.
He said the League Party wanted to use the collected funds, especially for security.
According to Salvini, his political party proposed doubling the number of troops deployed in the framework of the Safe Road Operation, in which the Italian military helps the police in maintaining road safety and protecting important facilities.
