Goodbye to the superbonus and the sports bonus. However, the benefits for energy, the psychologist bonus and the shopping card remain. In 2026, some incentives dedicated to families will disappear, others will be reconfirmed, while some new ones will enter the varied panorama of bonuses and subsidies decided by the government.
