Why It Matters
The Italian government is defining the boundaries of the next economic maneuver within the narrow margins outlined by the Dpb.
TFR with freedom of use for the first few years. No tax area for young people. Less Irpef on the middle class, which translated is the idea of not giving up on the expansion of the second Irpef rate of 33% from 50 thousand to 60 thousand euros of income. A health card for healthcare costs incurred by pensioners. All with a firm no to any taxation of extra profits. The deputy prime minister and leader of Forza Italia Antonio Tajani relaunches the fiscal chapter of the maneuver, on which the Dpb has outlined a narrow path, very narrow in terms of the margins that can be followed and explored. A series of programmatic stakes exposed during the interview on «Mattino Cinque» on Canale 5.
For the maneuver, Tajani said, "we only wrote the titles, now we need to develop the theme, then see how to decline these positions". The priorities «are families and businesses, so we too - continued Tajani - will continue to make proposals, for example, to extend the tax exemption to all first cars, we will propose to have a no tax area, i.e. for young people up to 30-35 years of age, a way of facilitating young people who start their working career and then start a family; we can also think about giving freedom on the use of TFR in the first years, let's think about lowering the Irpef, let's also think about ensuring that our system can have an overall reduction in the tax burden".
In fact, the Irpef reduction dossier is back on the agenda with the need to define whether it will be possible to delve into it with the need to identify the coverage and which perimeter to actually think about, given that as it was imagined this summer the measure would have cost 2.7 billion and would have facilitated above all incomes over 60 thousand euros in terms of tax savings.
In the aid package for the vulnerable, Forza Italia carries forward the proposal for a sort of advance deduction for health expenses, which occurs in the tax return and therefore only one year after the costs of treatment are actually incurred. Hence the idea of a "card for pensioners, which they can use and receive" in this way "direct help". Essentially, a sort of voucher that is used to cover some health expenses, such as dental ones.
In the interview with Mattino Cinque Tajani also reiterated that «we will never vote in favor of a tax on extra profits» and proposed the line of dialogue: «I propose a strong and concrete dialogue - he explained - with the entire financial world and with the other sectors that can make a contribution, a voluntary, agreed contribution, which allows this business sector to be part of the economic growth of the country, therefore not an oppressive position that scares the markets». «We must work with great intelligence as we have done in recent years - explained Tajani - as was done with the oil companies because the best results are obtained by involving the companies and not with taxing activities, because when you start putting taxes you don't know where you will end up. Therefore great caution is needed and Forza Italia will be very cautious. We will certainly never vote in favor of a tax on extra profits. I want to say this very clearly."
