The 2024 Budget Law developed by the Meloni Government is coming to the Chamber for consideration.
The Budget also includes benefits for families and workers, as well as the extension of early retirement measures.
Below is the detail.
NEW BIRTH BONUS - "In order to encourage births and contribute to the costs of supporting them", the measure includes a one-off "new birth bonus" of 1,000 euros for each child born or adopted from 1 January 2025.
The amount, paid in the month following the month of birth or adoption, does not contribute to the formation of income and is paid to the children of Italian citizens, citizens of an EU State or a non-EU State in possession of a European residence permit for work or research reasons of at least six months.
The condition is that the family unit has an ISEE lower than 40,000 euros per year. The cost is 330 million in 2025 and 360 million in 2026.
MOTHERS' BONUS - The Budget also includes the Mothers' Bonus, even with two children, extended to self-employed workers but with an income ceiling of up to 40 thousand euros. Workers who have not opted for a flat-rate regime will be able to benefit, if they have two children, from a tax relief until the youngest child reaches the age of ten and, in the case of mothers with three children, until the youngest child reaches the age of 18. The exemption, within the spending limit of 300 million euros per year, is only applicable if the salary does not exceed 40 thousand euros per year.
NURSERY BONUS – The nursery bonus expected to start on 1 January 2024 for families with an ISEE of up to 40 thousand euros has been extended to everyone (and no longer just those who have another child under 10 years of age) and made structural. 97 million euros have been allocated to support the measure for 2025, 131 million euros for the year 2026, 194 million euros for 2027, 197 million euros for 2028 and 200 million euros per year starting from the year 2029. The exclusion of the single allowance from the ISEE calculation for the request for the benefit has also been confirmed.
