The Council of Ministers, meeting yesterday afternoon at Palazzo Chigi, gave the green light to the tax decree .
The wait was particularly focused on two issues that directly affect consumers and society: the postponement of the tax on small parcels and the strengthening of the hyper-depreciation scheme.
One of the most controversial issues concerns the new tax on low-value shipments arriving from non-EU countries . The government has decided to grant more time for technical adjustments, as stated in the approved text, to allow for "coverage of administrative costs related to customs formalities for low-value shipments from third countries."
The law clarifies that the two-euro contribution applied "to shipments of goods from non-EU countries, with a declared value not exceeding 150 euros" will officially begin on July 1st . The postponement was necessary, the decree specifies, "without prejudice to the Customs and Monopolies Agency's work to adapt its information systems." This represents a breath of fresh air for those who buy products under two euros online, which will not see price increases for now.
In terms of business support, the measure addresses hyper-depreciation to encourage technology investments . The main change concerns the removal of a restriction introduced with the latest Budget Law.
In the current text, the wording that limited the tax relief to "goods produced in one of the Member States of the European Union or in countries adhering to the Agreement on the European Economic Area" has been "eliminated. " This change, which eliminates the so-called 'Made in Europe' requirement, concerns investments "made from 1 January 2026."
The State is allocating significant resources for this "increase in depreciation for investments in capital goods." The financial plan provides for costs "estimated at 95.6 million euros for 2027, 191.5 million euros for 2028, 297.5 million euros for each of 2029 and 2030," continuing with "267.6 million euros for 2031," and "172 million euros for 2032," up to "5.6 million euros for 2034."
The lifting of the "Made in Europe" requirement, Forza Italia underlines, is a concrete benefit for strategic sectors such as agriculture and earthmoving .
