From the declarations of the government exponents of the government, it begins to become clearer what the system of the financial maneuver could be for 2026, which will be approved by the end of the year. Each party has some measures that it wants to carry on, but the resources, also in light of the latest data on GDP, are limited.
The key rule of the next maneuver should be the cutting of the IRPEF to the middle class. However, the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also announced the allocation of resources to solve the problem of too high costs of the houses, especially for young people. Then there is the intention to intervene on pensions, referring the increase in retirement age.
The cut of the IRPEF in maneuver
The fundamental rule for the government will be the cutting of the IRPEF to the middle class. In recent years, the executive has been forced to limit itself to confirming the reform set by the Draghi government, to avoid increases in taxes on employees. The new law has been expanded and made structural, but mainly concerned the lowest wages.
Now the majority aims to intervene on the scaglione between 30 thousand and 50 thousand euros, the one in which the so -called average class includes. The goal would be twofold:
- drop the rate from 35 to 33%;
- Extend the bracket to a maximum income of 60 thousand euros.
Giorgia Meloni’s House Plan
The last announcement in order of time on the maneuver was made by the premier herself Giorgia Meloni. At the Rimini Meeting of Communion and Liberation, the Prime Minister spoke of a home plan to encourage the purchase of the first home by young people. Meloni said:
One of the priorities with which we intend to work with Matteo Salvini, whom I thank, is a large home plan at calm prices for young couples. Because without a house it is more difficult to build a family. We will do everything necessary to reconstruct a friend of the family and birthdayness, in which parenting is protected and supported.
The funds allocated should be about 660 million euros, just over a fifth of how much the government will have to spend to avoid the increase in retirement age. According to Ance, however, at least 15 billion euros would be needed to carry out a structural intervention.
The starting point of the plan should be the Casa Italia Plan, which was part of the Budget Law for 2025, launched last year. The standard never really entered into force due to the lack of a DPCM, which was to be issued by June, as discovered by the Sole 24 Ore.
The increase in retirement age
The last point, particularly dear to the League but shared by the whole majority, is to prevent the retirement age from 67 years and 3 months from 2027, from the current 67. An automatic increase, provided for by the Fornero law to maintain the balance of public accounts and dictated by the growth of life expectancy.
Since it is a measure designed to reduce spending, and that in recent years these increases have already been postponed several times, the cost for the state is very significant. The technicians who work on the project would calculate the outlay for the state for this measure in 3 billion euros in the coming years.
