The paper addresses the theme of the criticalities and fiscal responses associated with the advent of the new digital economy. This phenomenon, on one hand, has improved people's lives by facilitating interpersonal communication and creating investment and job opportunities, while on the other hand, it has enhanced financial transactions worldwide through global trade, promoting greater economic interconnectedness and faster capital circulation. However, it has raised significant fiscal challenges as the wealth of digital enterprises primarily stems from intangible and movable products, allowing them to operate in markets without a tangible physical presence.

L’elaborato affronta il tema della criticità e delle risposte fiscali legate all’avvento della nuova digital economy. Questo fenomeno, da un lato, ha migliorato la vita delle persone, facilitando la condivisione interpersonale e creando opportunità di investimento e lavoro, mentre, dall’altro ha potenziato le transazioni finanziarie in tutto il mondo attraverso il commercio globale, favorendo una maggiore interconnessione economica e una più rapida circolazione di capitali. Tuttavia, ha sollevato sfide significative sul piano fiscale in quanto la ricchezza delle imprese del digitale deriva principalmente, non più da beni materiali, ma da prodotti immateriali e mobili che permettono loro di operare nei mercati senza una presenza fisica tangibile. Pertanto, le imprese sfruttano le lacune dei regimi fiscali e pongono in essere pratiche di profit shifting, nei paesi a bassa tassazione, e di base erosion al solo fine di abbattere il loro carico impositivo. La valenza di queste questioni è amplificata dalla crescente pervasività dell'economia digitale che si sta repentinamente si trasformando nell’economia mondiale. Procedendo in tale circostanza, questa tesi si propone di analizzare le caratteristiche e i punti critici dell’economia digitale, approfondendo le sfide fiscali e le proposte risolutive avanzate dalle autorità e dalle istituzioni fiscali al fine di mettere a punto un sistema di tassazione della digital economy equo che valorizzi il digitale quale fonte di nuova prosperità.

Abstract
The paper addresses the theme of the criticalities and fiscal responses associated with the advent of the new digital economy. This phenomenon, on one hand, has improved people's lives by facilitating interpersonal communication and creating investment and job opportunities, while on the other hand, it has enhanced financial transactions worldwide through global trade, promoting greater economic interconnectedness and faster capital circulation. However, it has raised significant fiscal challenges as the wealth of digital enterprises primarily stems from intangible and movable products, allowing them to operate in markets without a tangible physical presence. Consequently, companies exploit loopholes in tax regimes and employ profit-shifting practices in low-tax countries, as well as base erosion, solely to reduce their tax burden. The significance of these issues is amplified by the growing pervasiveness of the digital economy, which is rapidly transforming into the world's economy. In this context, this thesis aims to analyze the characteristics and critical points of the digital economy, delving into fiscal challenges and proposed solutions put forward by authorities and fiscal institutions to develop a fair taxation system for the digital economy that values digitalization as a source of new prosperity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
