The Council of Ministers approved the Draft Budgetary Document, which outlines the framework of the maneuver , which will be sent to the European Commission. During the meeting, the League expressed a political reservation on the solution now identified on pensions with Quota 102 and 104, but the issue will be discussed in the coming days in view of the launch of the Budget Law in a subsequent CDM.

The maneuver will put 23-25 billion euros on the plate.

TAXES - The intervention to reduce the tax wedge is the one that collects a transversal consensus, and on which practically all parties push. For this reason, the eight billion that Minister Daniele Franco would have put on the table are considered few, especially by Forza Italia and Italia Viva who would like at least ten.

The goal will still be to favor the middle class, especially those who fall into the third income tax bracket.

BONUS - Superbonus, 65% ecobonus and 50% discounts for the purchase of green furniture and appliances will be renewed. However, the Superbonus, a very popular measure, should only apply to condominiums. The bonus for the renovation of the facades disappears for now. It will be the work on the maneuver to define all the details. Instead, the TV and decoder bonuses have been refinanced: up to 100 euros for scrapping the old TV, without Isee limits, and 30 euros for decoders but for those with an Isee under 20 thousand.

BILLS - The intervention is more urgent than ever, given that energy prices will not fall for the moment, indeed, the fluctuations could lead to further increases at least until the end of winter. There will therefore be an allocation of one billion to cut energy bills, and the resources should flow into a special fund that will be created with the maneuver.

PENSIONS - A very sensitive point for the League, which wants to mitigate the impact of the end of quota 100 and avoid an abrupt return to Fornero. The maneuver could therefore be introduced in 2022 Quota 102, that is, a mechanism that would allow retirement with 64 years of age and 38 contributions (just under 50 thousand people would be included), and in 2023 Quota 104. This would make it possible to soften the staircase of the Fornero, which would force you to wait for 67 years to say goodbye to work.

CITIZENSHIP INCOME - The flag measure of the 5 Star Movement will be reconfirmed, but will go through a revision. There will in all likelihood be a strengthening of preventive controls and procedures for obtaining it, and a mechanism that encourages people to return to the labor market. In the case of refusal of an offer, in fact, the check will be deducted with a system similar to that of Naspi. As for the funds, with the Budget law an additional funding of about 1 billion is expected for 2022.

In total, between the allocation already foreseen when fully operational and new funds, there should be about 8.8 billion available, the same figure as this year, when the funds were increased several times to cope with the greater draw of the measure due to the pandemic. .

FAMILY - The maneuver will also direct funds to families to intercept their needs. For example, it should make ten-day paternity leave structural and incentivize female work with a de-contribution, especially for women returning to work after maternity. In addition, the funds for free textbooks in compulsory education will increase.

TAMPON TAX - The request, submitted several times, to reduce VAT on sanitary napkins, the so-called tampon tax, should also be implemented. Furthermore, the anti-violence and gender equality plan would become structural, including the rewarding for the certification of gender policies.

ENTERPRISES - Mise aims to refinance the Guarantee Fund for SMEs, Nuova Sabatini and development contracts and create an ad hoc fund for industrial transition.
