Wedge cut and Irpef at three structural rates, support for births, but also premium Ires and funds for the Bridge and the Tav. After the green light from the Senate Chamber to the confidence requested by the executive, the third maneuver of the Meloni government, which mobilizes 30 billion, becomes law. Here are the main interventions.
TAX - The revision of the tax wedge cut provides for employees with an income of up to 20 thousand euros the recognition of a bonus, for those between 20 and 40 thousand a deduction with decalage. For Irpef there is the stabilization of the rates on three brackets. The interventions on the wedge and Irpef alone absorb over 17 billion. There are resources for the support of the needy and for purchases with the 'Dedicated to you' card. For businesses there is the bonus Ires: reduced by 4 points for those who set aside at least 80% of the profits of 2024 and reinvest at least 30% in the company (and no less than 24% of the profits of 2023). The taxation on new company vehicles is doubled. The income ceiling from employment to access the flat tax for the self-employed part is extended from 30 to 35 thousand euros. The web tax will only apply to large companies with revenues above 750 million, the tax on cryptocurrencies remains at 26%. Taxes on games and bets are increasing. POS will have to be connected to the cash register.
FAMILY – The deductions are changing, with a restriction for incomes over 75 thousand euros and the introduction of the so-called family quotient. The "new birth bonus" is also coming, a one-off payment of one thousand euros for each newborn in families with an ISEE under 40 thousand euros. The nursery bonus is being extended to everyone and made structural (again for families with an ISEE of up to 40 thousand euros). Parental leave is being extended to 80%, for three months instead of the current two. The "Dote famiglia" fund is coming for extra-curricular activities for young people aged 6 to 14 in families with an ISEE of up to 15 thousand euros . The Fund for the support and enhancement of oratories is being created.
PENSIONS – The minimums will be revalued in 2025, going from 614.77 euros to 617.9. The exit flexibility measures Quota 103, Ape sociale and Opzione donna are extended. The Maroni bonus is also strengthened for those who choose to stay in work. Those in the contributory system will be able to combine mandatory and complementary social security to reach a pension equal to three times the minimum, managing to anticipate retirement at 64 years of age.
WORK - The increase in the deductible cost for new hires, equal to 20%, increased to 30% for young people and women, has been extended for three years. The New Sabatini is refinanced and the tax credit for investments in the Zes for Southern Italy has been extended to 2025. The tax exemption for productivity bonuses has also been extended for three years (from 10% to 5%). The ceiling for fringe benefits increases to one thousand for everyone, two thousand for those with children; increased amounts for new hires who agree to move more than 100 kilometers from home. The tax exemption limit for tips for waiters has increased from 25 to 30%. The guarantee fund for SMEs is being extended. A fund with 3 million in 3 years to support companies in the Ilva supply chain is also being planned. An ad hoc fund of 70 million is being created to finance worker participation in management and profits. The fund for families of accident victims at work is increasing and there is also a crackdown on the abuse of Naspi.
HOME – The renovation bonus and ecobonus remain at 50% for first homes, dropping to 36% for others, with a ceiling of 96 thousand euros. The same scheme also applies to the earthquake bonus, with no spending limit. The furniture bonus has been extended to 5 thousand euros . The concessions on mortgages for the purchase of a first home for under 36s and young couples have been renewed until 2027. The bonus for household appliances is coming with a maximum contribution of 30% of the cost. Gas boilers, however, can no longer be deducted.
HEALTH – New resources to finance the standard national health requirement, increased by 1.3 billion in 2025. A portion of the resources is set aside in view of the 2028-2030 contract renewals. Increased allowances for emergency rooms and those for doctors and nurses. Flat tax at 5% for overtime for nurses. From 2025 all medical prescriptions will be electronic. More resources for lung cancer prevention. Increased funds for the psychologist bonus, psychological support arrives at school.
PA, MANAGERS AND MINISTERS – Partial freeze on turnover in the PA, with the exception of local authorities, law enforcement agencies, firefighters and researchers. There is also a cap on the compensation of top management of institutions that receive public funds. For these individuals, there will be no obligation for MEF auditors, but there will be a crackdown on budget controls if state aid is "significant". The equalization of the compensation of non-parliamentary ministers with that of their elected colleagues is skipped: they will only have travel reimbursement. The ban on foreign compensation, the so-called anti-Renzi rule, also comes into force for members of the government.
RAI AND PUBLISHING - A tightening of the costs of public TV is expected, limited to external consultancy. The license fee goes up from 70 to 90 euros . 50 million are coming for measures in favor of publishing.
WORKS AND TRANSPORT – One billion more to the Tav and another to Railways for the Pnrr works. The new funds allocated to the Bridge over the Strait are equal to 1.5 billion (with 500 million for the annexed works). Extension of up to 20 years for electricity concessions: the increased revenue goes to reduce bills. Boarding taxes increase by 50 cents for extra-EU flights.
CUTS AND COVERAGE - The reorganization of deductions will yield one billion, while the banking-insurance chapter will yield 3.5 billion. For banks, interventions on DTAs and stock options are planned, while insurance companies will have to pay the stamp duty annually. A further contribution of 400 million will come from banks for the IRES cut. In the three-year period 2025-2027, the spending review by the ministries foresees cuts of approximately 7.7 billion.
