L’ultimo capitolo è stato riservato all’esame della disciplina della deducibilità, sia ai fini delle imposte dirette (Irpef/Ires) sia ai fini IRAP, degli oneri connessi ai dipendenti e collaboratori, per aiutare nella determinazione degli importi deducibili specie quelli la cui deduzione è soggetta a limitazioni. Utile per chi deve affrontare la compilazione della dichiarazione dei redditi.
