The present dissertation aims to investigate solutions to the problem of the climate crisis through the tools offered by Law, in particular the Tax Law. In fact, taxation has become even more relevant to the current society since exchanges have become almost as fast as the connections that bring people closer. Tax Law, thus, insinuates itself into any action that involves an exchange, even when the latter takes place online. Therefore, in the following chapters the thesis will follow a linear path, going from the description, to describing suitable solutions. For this reason, in chapter 1 the status quo will be analyzed, with particular attention to the warnings provided by academics who have been interested in the challenges arose by climate change, emphasizing the importance of a just transition. Chapter 2 will address the issue of taxonomy, which is important both in the tax field and in the green finance sector. Subsequently, in chapter 3 the opportunities offered by a correct taxation of labour will be described, focusing on the green jobs sector. Chapter 4 will deal with the issue of taxation of the digital market, at a national and international level. Finally, chapter 5 will formulate the thesis’ proposals, that include short term and long term solutions applying different tools. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of some recent Italian Constitutional Court’s rulings on taxation will be made. In addition to that, some changes to the existing economics’ theories will be suggested, also for future in-depth study, linking the economics’ field to the Law’s sector.
La tesi si propone di investigare le possibili soluzioni del problema della crisi climatica attraverso gli strumenti offerti dal diritto, in particolare dal diritto tributario. In una società mutevole ed in continua evoluzione, la tassazione diventa, infatti, ancora più rilevante dato che gli scambi diventano veloci quanto quasi le connessioni che rendono le persone più vicine. Il diritto tributario si insinua, così, in ogni azione che preveda uno scambio, anche quando quest’ultimo avviene a distanza. Pertanto, nei capitoli seguenti la dissertazione seguirà un percorso lineare, dalla descrizione alla proposizione di soluzioni. Infatti, nel capitolo 1 verrà analizzato lo status quo, con particolare attenzione agli avvertimenti forniti dagli accademici che da anni si interessano alle sfide poste dal cambiamento climatico, sottolineando l’importanza di una transizione giusta. Nel capitolo 2 verrà affrontato il tema della tassonomia, importante sia nell’ambito tributario che in quello della finanza verde. Successivamente, nel capito 3 verranno descritte le opportunità offerte da una corretta tassazione del lavoro, in particolare nel settore dei green jobs. Nel capitolo 4 verrà trattato il tema della tassazione del mercato digitale, sia in ambito italiano che internazionale. Infine, nel capitolo verranno formulate le proposte risolutive della tesi, che comprendono soluzioni per il breve e il lungo periodo, grazie all’utilizzo di strumenti diversi. La scelta di tali strumenti sarà correlata anche ad una approfondita analisi di alcune recenti pronunce della Corte Costituzionale in tema di tassazione. Inoltre, alcune modifiche alle teorie economiche esistenti verranno proposte, anche per approfondimenti future, nel campo della giurisprudenza e dell’economia.

Abstract
The present dissertation aims to investigate solutions to the problem of the climate crisis through the tools offered by Law, in particular the Tax Law. In fact, taxation has become even more relevant to the current society since exchanges have become almost as fast as the connections that bring people closer. Tax Law, thus, insinuates itself into any action that involves an exchange, even when the latter takes place online. Therefore, in the following chapters the thesis will follow a linear path, going from the description, to describing suitable solutions. For this reason, in chapter 1 the status quo will be analyzed, with particular attention to the warnings provided by academics who have been interested in the challenges arose by climate change, emphasizing the importance of a just transition. Chapter 2 will address the issue of taxonomy, which is important both in the tax field and in the green finance sector. Subsequently, in chapter 3 the opportunities offered by a correct taxation of labour will be described, focusing on the green jobs sector. Chapter 4 will deal with the issue of taxation of the digital market, at a national and international level. Finally, chapter 5 will formulate the thesis’ proposals, that include short term and long term solutions applying different tools. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of some recent Italian Constitutional Court’s rulings on taxation will be made. In addition to that, some changes to the existing economics’ theories will be suggested, also for future in-depth study, linking the economics’ field to the Law’s sector.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
