Abstract
La Council Tax, la più locale delle “tasse” del Regno Unito, è anche la più cruciale e strategica. Attraverso questa, infatti, enti pubblici locali per definizione, i Council (mutatis mutandis, in Italia, le province piuttosto che i comuni), attraverso l’immobile, attingono alla risorse necessarie per erogare servizi essenziali ai cittadini, i quali rappresentano i giudici più attenti non solo di questa tassa (il cui quantum spetta a ogni Council e non al potere centrale) ma anche di come gli amministratori ne dispongono. Dietro questo contesto, il contributo analizza la più classica delle tasse britanniche, eppure la meno conosciuta in Italia, per valutare possibili analogie, differenze e, comparatisticamente, caute importazioni nell’ordinamento italiano.
The Council Tax, the most local of the taxes in the United Kingdom, is also the most crucial and strategic. In essence, thanks to it, the local public authority par excellence, the Council (mutatis mutandis, in Italy, the “province” rather than the municipalities), through the real estate, draw the financial resources necessary to provide residents (not necessarily the owner of the property) with the essential services. Therefore, not only are the citizens living in the area the most careful “judges” of this tax (bearing in mind that the amount of it falls within the remit of the Council, rather than London, the central power), but also they are those constantly ascertaining how the Counsellors utilise the financial resources originating from this taxations. Against this background, the contribution discusses and analyse the “most classic” of the taxes existing in the UK, yet the least common: the final outcome of this is to verify similarities, differences and also, through a comparative analysis, a possible, albeit cautious, import in the Italian legal system.
