The Irpef cut for the middle class appears in doubt while the extension of the flat tax for the self-employed from 85 thousand to 100 thousand euros takes shape. And then, the interventions to ease the contractual renewals for low incomes and for young people, interventions for the elderly and frail, an increase in aid for companies that invest and, perhaps, the possibility of retiring at 64 but with the contributory method only. These are the main ingredients that could enter the budget menu, to which will be added - if the EU fully authorizes the deviation from 29 billion for the next two years - measures for the energy and defense sectors.
The IRPEF cut - The government has in the past reduced the number of IRPEF rates for the lowest incomes and had envisaged continuing this year by reducing the rate from 43 to 33% for the income range between 50 thousand and 60 thousand euros of income. The proposal is now on standby, at the center of confrontation between government forces, in search of resources and could be shelved. The benefit would be around 1,000 euros per year, the cost around 2.6 billion. However, there would seem to be no room for the hypothesis of even a partial tax relief on the thirteenth.
Elderly and frail - This is one of the innovations the government is working on. A way is being studied to at least partially put into practice the desire to advance IRPEF deductions for healthcare expenses, which now only take effect the following year, with the declaration. A lump sum bonus is assumed that takes into account the income of the beneficiaries.
Contracts between renewals and young people - There will be space in the maneuver for the renewal of the 5% taxation for increases in contract renewals not exceeding 33 thousand euros. The measure could also be adopted for salary increases for young workers, to slow down their flight abroad.
Flat tax for the self-employed - The extension of the 15% 'flat tax' on the incomes of self-employed workers is hypothesized, bringing the ceiling from 85 thousand to 100 thousand euros.
Pensions - On the table there is certainly the - very expensive - issue of the revaluation of pensions to recover the impact of inflation. The League has also proposed the possibility of leaving at 64 but with the contributory method only.
Car tax - The government aims to make the car tax cut structural, expected on just one vehicle per family for 2027. It concerns cars with a power of up to 80 kW and motorbikes.
Strengthening of hyper-depreciation - This is the aid provided for companies, which invest to lighten their energy costs and impact on the environment. The Minister of Economy, Giancarlo Giorgetti, spoke of a strengthening. The idea would be to extend hyper-amortization also for costs related to software and cloud. Simplifications could also arrive for businesses with the extension of the SEZ now limited to the South.
Home - An extension and perhaps an increase to 65% of the bonus for interventions to improve the energy consumption of properties is hypothesized. There would also be a 5% coupon on the table for long rentals.
Rai license fee - Among the majority requests is also the hypothesis of cutting the cost of the Rai license fee, currently at 90 euros a year divided into installments in the electricity bill.
