Over the past few hours, the Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti has announced that the executive is working on a new one BULL BONUS 2025that can counteract the increase in energy. Still nothing, it must be specified, it has officially arrived on the table of the Council of Ministers, even if it seems that the structure of the intervention can follow the scheme already adopted when Mario Draghi was at Palazzo Chigi. Here, therefore, that a VAT cutting on the gaswith various associations and experts who have advanced a series proposed to the executive.
The new bill bonus with the cut of VAT
Waiting to have greater certainties from Giorgia Meloni’s government, Altroconsumo and theNational Consumers Union they proposed a bills bonus which includes the VAT cut at 10% for gas. In this way, in the vision of the promoters, the percentage would be equated to that of light and would exceed the current scheme. This provides VAT to “10% for consumption up to 480 cubic meters and 22% for the upper ones”. Draghi, remember, intervened on the same percentage, bringing it to 5%.
In addition to what has just been described, the government could also intervene on System charges in the billsuspending them. These are 20% in the case of the current and 5% as regards the gas. The previous executive had transformed them into discounts, with the executive Meloni who gradually, since 2023, has reintroduced them by burning on average on families for almost 450 euros per year.
A new largest social bonus
Among the measures under consideration, at the moment one of what is given for sure is the social bonus. Up to 15 thousand euros of ISEE and also this of Draghian inspiration. The intent would be expand the audience of the beneficiariesThat is, extending the group of those who can boast the right of protection of vulnerability (regime in which the energy price is set by Arera every 3 months for electricity and every month for gas).
In order for the audience of the beneficiaries of the social bonus to be adequate can be enlarged covers financial, with the estimated cost that it is of 1.5 billion euros.
The National Consumer Union asks that the ISEE threshold be raised to 30 thousand euros “For families with at least four dependent children, against the current ones, respectively, at 9,530 euros and 20 thousand euros, possibly introducing new intermediate thresholds £, as well as Altroconsumo would like” a remodeling of the thresholds to access the social bonus based on the number of the family unit as well as a raising of the ISEE limit threshold to access it “.
The other hypotheses against dear Bollette
The intervention against the dear Bullits would also provide other measures which, at the moment, are on the table of the hypotheses to the MEF. Minister Giorgetti would be specifically evaluating:
- The possibility of canceling the cost differences of the gas between the European reference market (the TTF index of the Amsterdam stock exchange) and the one on the Italian wholesale market (the PSV index). In the latter case, the price is higher than around 2 euros in megawattora, affecting the bills related to the trend of the methane value;
- The strengthening of Energy Release for companies, granting more energetic realities that create new generation capacity from renewable sources the possibility of enjoying calm prices. And again, always for businesses, the possible compensation of the European ETS taxation on CO2 emissions to the energy producers is evaluated. In each of the cases seen, it is necessary that from Brussels the authorization to proceed.
