A future for Amatrice• With the initiative ‘Un futuro per Amatrice’ we ask restaurants to insert into

the menu the dish ‘Amatriciana’ and to keep it there for at least one year. For each consumed dish of Amatriciana, 2 euros will be donated: one by the restaurant and one by the client. The collected funds will be given directly to the municipality of Amatrice.

• “All over the world, through this symbolic dish from Amatrice, we hope to spread the values of solidarity and sharing the fundamental features of the community culture from which this typical dish comes from.” Carlo Petrini, president of ‘Terra Madre’ and ‘Slow Food’, starts the solidarity campaign to sustain the citizens hit by the tragedy of the earthquake.

• “We also ask all the Italian restaurants worldwide to support and adhere to the initiative. In this way we hope to go beyond the emotional wave of the moment. We have to start the reconstruction immediately. The funds collected must be durable to help people, who have suffered in the earthquake, starting their normal life again.”

Un futuro per Amatrice• «In tutto il mondo, attraverso questo piatto simbolo della storia

gastronomica di Amatrice, speriamo di poter diffondere anche i valori di

solidarietà e condivisione propri della cultura contadina da cui nasce».

Carlo Petrini, presidente di Terra Madre e Slow Food, avvia

unacampagna di solidarietà per sostenere le popolazioni colpite dal

terremoto e pensare già da oggi al loro futuro.

• Aderiamo alle iniziative spontanee nate in queste ore in Italia e rilanciamo

«chiamando in causa i ristoratori di tutto il mondo per un anno intero.

Speriamo in questo modo che l’attenzione non svanisca e vada oltre

l’onda emotiva del momento: superiamo l’emergenza e iniziamo già da

oggi la ricostruzione. Chi ha vissuto questo dramma deve poter ritrovare

la normalità il prima possibile, i fondi destinati devono essere durevoli e la

raccolta costante».

• Con Unfuturo per Amatrice (#unfuturoperamatrice) chiediamo ai

ristoratori di tutto il mondo di inserire in carta il piatto simbolo della città

colpita e di tenerlo per almeno un anno. E ai clienti chiediamo di

sceglierlo. Per ogni amatriciana consumata verranno devoluti due euro,

uno donato dal ristoratore, uno dal cliente. I fondi raccolti

sarannodirettamente versati al Comune di Amatrice.

New tax amnesty programme

• We would like to draw your interest to the new tax amnesty programme, which SARS together with the SA reserve bank has released. It will allow tax payers with undisclosed assets abroad to come off relatively lightly – if they declare between October 2016 and March 2017.

• Though it is a sensitive issue, we think this could be very interesting and important for many members of the chamber.A seminar will be hosted by Mr D Skalet, a consulting expert in international tax law of Rödl & Partner, Johannesburg. The session will focus on the most important aspects of the new tax Special Voluntary Disclosure programme of SARS and the SA Reserve Bank. The tax amnesty will come into effect on 1 October 2016 and ends on 31 March 2017, therefore tax relief can only be sought within this time frame. Furthermore the seminar will shed light on the tax system in South Africa. For more information please contact info@italcham.co.za
