Maneuver 2027: Irpef cut, home bonus and defense-energy clause at the center of the first Council of Ministers

The game for the 2027 Budget Law officially opens today, 2 October, with the approval of the Dpfp (Public Finance Policy Document) in the Council of Ministers: the text must contain the main points of what will be the next Budget, together with the "related financial effects". It could be accompanied by the report on the energy and defense clause, if the government decides to activate it. For this reason, yesterday evening, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni brought together at Palazzo Chigi the two deputy prime ministers and leaders of Lega and Forza Italia, Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani, the leader of Noi Moderati Maurizio Lupi and the Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti.

From the Irpef cut to the 65% home bonus, what could be included in the Maneuver

The menu of the Maneuver should start, constraints permitting, from the extension of the cut of the second Irpef rate for incomes up to 60 thousand euros, but it will also focus on the 5% flat tax for salary increases for young people and on flat tax (with limitations) for shops. Confirmation of the 50% home bonus for first homes is also possible, but work is still being done to further raise the bar, says Leo: we are looking at 65%.

Leo: "Difficult maneuver." The Mef asks for "seriousness"

It will be a "difficult" maneuver, as Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo has already highlighted. In this scenario, the Mef calls for "seriousness", also in light of the trend in government bonds and the rise in yields. Faced with a spread that has reached 118.5 points, concern is high. The special observation is always inflation.

The escape clause

The maneuver is intertwined with the issue of the escape clause for flexibility on energy and defence. The government is inclined to activate it and together with the DPFP it should present an ad hoc report, which will then be voted on in the Chamber with the relative deviation. The date is already set for October 13th.
