Adapt OpenFisca to the Italian Fiscal system #2

Open ruphy opened 6 years ago

ruphy commented 6 years ago

OpenFisca is an open source project created by the French government: http://openfisca.org/doc/index.html

It supports multiple countries. Try to implement an "Italia" country which implements the Italian fiscal laws

Hello @ruphy , I read the project idea on the official GSOC website and i think i might be interested in contributing to this project. But, the project idea is not very much clear from what is described in that website. Can you please give me more insight about it?

ruphy commented 6 years ago

Hi @rishabhkalra96, the python package implements the fiscal system of a country, but only has packages for France and a few incomplete African states. We want to create a class which translates the Italian law into code, so that we are able to create simulations of tax reforms and so on.

Looks like an interesting concept. I would like to contribute to it(though I really don't have any knowledge of fiscal laws but I think I can learn them alongside development ). Can you please guide me on how to make initial contributions to the project?

ruphy commented 6 years ago

@rishabhkalra96 I really have no other ways to suggest you than what you'd normally do on any project: clone the code, try to make some improvements, try to create a system that works. Also, since you are not probably a native Italian, try to see if you can understand what the Italian fiscal law says, for example: https://cdn.fiscoetasse.com/upload/Legge-di-Bilancio-2018-Testo-approvato-23122017.pdf

here's probably a more machine-friendly version: http://www.gazzettaufficiale.it/eli/id/2017/12/29/17G00222/sg

@ruphy Ciao! I'm Kushagra, a computer science student from IIIT Hyderabad, India. I'd like to contribute to this project in GSoC. I have cloned the repo and now I'd like to play around with it. The pdfs that you posted in the previous comments on Italian fiscal law are not in English. Can you provide the English version?

@ruphy Hello! I'm Niyat, a CSE student Vellore institute of technology, India. I want to work on this project in GSoc 2018. I explore the the repository. The project concept is new for me. Can you guide me further to explore more about project. Can you provide the English version of PDF which is posted in previous comment.

ruphy commented 6 years ago

Hello, those are official laws which do not have an official translation. While of course you can always apply, I do not suggest you tackle this project if you do not have the necessary Italian skills.

Hello, @ruphy I am a Master Student at University of Trento, Italy. All project are Interesting to me but I am willing to work on 'Adapt OpenFisca to the Italian Fiscal system'. I have knowledge of Italian, Python and Tax system. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello! @ruphy I cloned the repository about the country package template and I read all the documentation offered by OpenFisca for the creation of a new package. I also defined a draft proposal that I submitted on the GSoC platform, I hope you read it. Now I am reading the articles of the Italian law to define the variables and the parameters to be used in such a way as to make practice with the OpenFisca software. By chance do you have a repository where I can pull requests for these implementations so you can see them?
