«Comparing the current regime with the one proposed in the amendment, it is estimated that the pensioners involved will be just over 3.5 million, who will receive approximately 510 euros less on average in gross annual pension payments in 2027 compared to what they would have received if the tiered calculation system had remained». This is what the president of Istat Francesco Maria Chelli claimed in the hearing in the Chamber on the maneuver regarding article 55 of the budget bill.
«The change to the revaluation mechanism – it is added – by reducing the amount of pensions, leads to a lower taxable income and therefore a lower tax due. This fiscal feedback effect amounts on average to 220 euros of lower direct taxes, according to the current Irpef regime, with an average loss of 290 euros. Taking into account jointly the modification of the Irpef foreseen in the art. 9 and the changes to the revaluation, for the group of pensioners subjected to the effects of both measures, there would be a lower tax of around 360 euros per year, a benefit which would reduce the average loss to 150 euros per year”.
