On the enthusiasm with which the bike bonus maybe not everyone would have bet initially. Sales of bicycles and scooters reached incredible levels in the first month of applying the bonus, remaining high also in the following period. on method of disbursement of the refundHowever, there are still many doubts from taxpayers, so Confindustria also wanted to denounce the situation of precariousness and uncertainty that revolves around this incentive.
Bike bonus, more than 500 thousand models sold: but the app hasn’t arrived yet
Who has not yet made the purchase but is interested in get the bike bonus, will have to have speaking receipt or invoice to get a refund.
In addition, a specification should soon be made available by government technicians electronic platform (a site or app probably) that was created with the aim of allowing citizens to present the appropriate refund request for the purchased vehicle.
One of the major problems reported by Confindustriahowever, it is linked precisely to the release of this application, which is not yet available. This, as explained by Pietro Nigrelli, director of the cycle sector of Confindustria Ancma, has generated confusion among traders (especially the smallest ones), who could even risk not having back – in the form of a tax deduction – the discount granted to their clients.
Bike bonus, there is a problem with funds
As Ancma said, 540 thousand bikes were sold in the first month of applying the bonus. On balance, therefore, making an average of 300 euros per purchase discount (which can go up to 500 euros in some cases), the bike bonus costs the Italian state 162 million euros.
If the numbers were to be higher, therefore, there would inevitably be a problem, given that the government has allocated 190 million euros for this intervention.
In addition, in June and July sales of bikes and scooters they have not gone down, on the contrary. But with the funds already largely used, those who buy hoping for get the bonus must take into account that, in case of lack of resources, it could remain excluded. This hypothesis which, as Nigrelli has specified, would not guarantee any if it were to occur certainty of repayments.
