Italian Skiers Don’t Like Paying Taxes

Gee, this is shocking: Italy’s ritziest ski resort is a haven for tax evasion. Federal officials counted 133 Lamborghinis and other luxury cars parked on the streets of Cortina d’Ampezzo, one-third of whose owners claim to make less than $28,000. Not likely when a tank of gas can cost $230. Cortina hotels, restaurants, and boutiques are severely underreporting income, too; one luxury shop claimed sales of 1.5 million euros but couldn’t produce a single tax document or receipt.
