Superbonus, CNA: 'blocked credits amount to more than 5 billion euros'

There are almost 50 thousand companies in the construction chain (construction, plants and windows) that experience many difficulties in the transfer of credits related to bonuses for the redevelopment of buildings and a significant deterioration in the financial conditions proposed by potential buyers.

This is the photograph, defined as' worrying 'that emerges from a survey carried out by the CNA, the National Confederation of Crafts and Small and Medium Enterprises, on a representative sample of the sector, with a picture that deteriorates markedly compared to the survey carried out last May.

CNA estimates that the credits in the tax drawers of companies that have recognized the discount on the invoice and not monetized through a sale amount to more than 5 billion euros. A volume doubled compared to last spring

The percentage of companies with a full tax drawer for at least 5 months is emblematic: it was 35% in May, while today it is close to 75%. In addition, the number of companies holding loans of more than 100,000 euros (from 45 to 54.5% of the total) has increased

For companies - explains CNA - it is increasingly difficult to identify individuals willing to acquire credits linked to construction bonuses and the scenario continues to worsen. In recent months, 27.4% of companies have detected a different attitude on the part of intermediaries even if they are unable to solve the problem

More than half of the companies in difficulty received purchase offers from parties other than financial intermediaries, but only 8% on terms in line with expectations, while 42% of the offers have very penalizing conditions.

Traditional channels are increasingly unavailable to purchase credits (also due to uncertainties due to continuous regulatory changes), leaving room for individuals who speculate on the difficulties of companies in the supply chain.

The paralysis of the transfer of tax credits causes heavy impacts. More than half of the sample declares that they are delaying the payment of suppliers, more than 40% are struggling to pay taxes and duties, 6 out of 10 companies consider suspending existing construction sites and 86% say they will not

CNA renews its invitation to the Government to take extraordinary action to allow tens of thousands of companies to empty their tax drawers. The data that emerge from the survey - continues the Confederation - confirm that the invoice discount mechanism requires an adequate system for the mobilization of tax credits, otherwise the costs for businesses risk exceeding the benefits of incentives for the redevelopment of buildings and for the contribution to

In fact, the survey shows that only 7% of companies that have difficulties with tax credits are willing to still recognize the discount on the invoice, all the others will not do it and among these, almost 70% expect a significant reduction in the reference market.
