The MEF Finance Department has published the data relating to tax returns submitted in 2023 on income accrued in 2022 .
Let's start with regional data. The island is growing little, only Umbria and Liguria are doing worse , while in absolute terms it is positioned in fifteenth place at a national level , ahead of all the regions of the South. And behind all the others.

In absolute terms, Lombardy always stands out, while the national average is 22,806, approximately 3,400 euros more per capita than the Sardinian figure .

THE ACLI
«These data tell us that the average Sardinian taxable income is 72% of the average taxable income in Lombardy. A fact that is not at all surprising ", comments Mauro Carta, President of the Regional ACLI of Sardinia. «Already in December, the analyzes on the 2022 estimates of the disposable income of consumer families saw Sardinia with its 17,921.72 euros of disposable income per capita stable in 14th place out of 20 regions with a standardized data which said that where an Italian average person has 100 euros available for expenses, an average Sardinian has just 84.9 euros ."
