Irpef cut to the middle class in maneuver: 10 billion are needed

Within the majority, the meetings multiply to define the system of the next maneuver. The summit of Fratelli d’Italia, led by deputy minister Maurizio Leo, summarized the central points of the political confrontation:

  • reduction of taxes on the middle class with the lowering of the IRPEF;
  • hypothesis of incentives for health and extraordinary work
  • attention to support for families and birthdays,
  • Cover node estimated at around 10 billion.

A delicate work phase, which prepares the land for the Council of Ministers foreseen in just over 20 days.

Because a new scrapping seems in fact

Forza Italia, for several weeks, has formalized a package of requests that aims above all to strengthen the cutting of the IRPEF intended for medium-low income and to guarantee continuity to the incentive system designed for companies.

The League has chosen a different line, insisting on the hypothesis of a new scrapping of the tax collection files, proposed that the secretary Matteo Salvini has relaunched on several occasions during the internal leaders.

According to the assessments circulated, however, an intervention of this type would have a very high cost, estimated over 2 billion euros even in the smaller scenario. This hypothesis is therefore very remote because it seems truly in fact.

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti also recently reiterated that the goal remains to arrive at a result of fiscal peaceterm he considered preferable to him with respect to scrapping. He explained that the government is working for a sustainable (and real) solution, capable of giving breath to those who intend to regularize their position with the tax authorities.

Reduction of average income taxes

During the meeting of Fratelli d’Italia it emerged that the central question remains the revision of the IRPEF. The study plan plans to reduce the rate from 35% to 33% for those who receive income up to 50 thousand euros per year, while the hypothesis of expanding the measure up to 60 thousand euros appears difficult to sustain with the available resources.

For an operation of this type, around 4 billion euros are needed, a substantial figure that forces the executive to carefully evaluate the covers.

You have to think about the maneuver as the organization of a holiday: you have a budget and based on that you choose destination, type of accommodation, what to see. It is likely that this year the holiday budget does not allow to cross national borders.

As already happened last year, the government tries to review some tax deductions, with a new tightening on the bonuses, so as to prevent the benefit from ending up promoting taxpayers with higher income.

News on extraordinary and healthcare

Among the possibilities discussed there is an intervention on the extraordinary: today the additional hours are taxed exactly like normal hours, and this reduces its actual convenience for workers.

On the health side, new concessions are thought to reduce the weight of the expenses that citizens face their own pocket. In 2023 this item exceeded 40 billion euros, a figure that photographs the growing difficulty in accessing public treatments well.

These are the so -called expenses Out of Pocket: tickets, medicines, medical devices and specialist visits that remain outside the coverage of the National Health Service.

Measures for family and births

The chapters dedicated to the support of families and the response to the decline in the birth rate are also open, theme that has become increasingly central in political agenda in recent years.

Within the majority, there are tools that can give concrete support, from economic aid directed to dedicated tax measures, to incentives designed to encourage parenting and reduce the costs related to the care of children.

Perhaps we should also intervene on salaries. The historical research ofFederconsumatori Observatory they estimate an average cost of up to 175,642.72 euros to raise a child to age.

Financial covers knot: where the money is

According to the participants in the party leaders, the package of tax interventions could apply around 10 billion, with budget spaces however limited to the requests of political forces.

One of the most delicate passages concerns the finding of resources.

By the end of September the deadline expires to join the composition with creditors, from which new fast and fresh revenues could arrive.

The possibility of asking an extraordinary contribution to credit institutions, hypothesis defined by Giorgetti as a pinch.

On the involvement of financial institutions the debate is on. Premier Giorgia Meloni clarified that a possible initiative will have to be marked by a comparison open and constructive And not to a punitive approach.
