Watchword, help the middle class. While the oppositions, thanks to the dear-umbrella, the empty beaches and also the trolley of the shopping that runs, press the government that in their opinion does nothing for wages, to insist on the need to lower taxes from the front of the majority is Forza Italia, which has made the Irpef cut for the intermediate brackets its “battle horse”.
The problem remains that of resources, those “about 4 billion” that must be found to expand the tax reduction, one of the central points of the center -right program. So much so that after the attempt without success of last year, even in the ranks of Fratelli d’Italia there are those who start unbalanced on the fact that with the maneuver for 2026 it will finally be the right time. A reduction in the rate “from 35% to 33% for income of up to 60 thousand euros”, the Economic Manager of FI Maurizio Casasco did the count, would save “440 euros” of income tax “up to 50,000 euros” and “1440 euros for income from 50,001 to 60,000 euros”. The Azzurri also suggest coverage, with a mix of “tax arrangement, active repentance and increase in employment” which also increases revenue. Certainly Giancarlo Giorgetti will insist on the policy of the “prudence” preached so far, also because you are trying to bring the bead of the deficit below 3% since 2026, so as to go out a year in advance of the infringement procedure. A first lap of meetings at the MEF with the ministers has already started before the summer break. And Orazio Schillaci announced that he has sprung up two billion more for healthcare, another button on which the opposition beats, Pd in the head. But the list is already quite long: there is to stabilize the reward IRES, just unlocked, as the deputy minister has already anticipated to the economy Maurizio Leo. And then there would be the 1000 more agents for the prison police asked by Giorgia Meloni herself. And still fashion, to be supported with an ad hoc (250 million) tax credit on which Minister Adolfo Urso points.
The financing of the extension of the ZES to Umbria and Marche is also found, just approved in the Council of Ministers. And it will be necessary to understand how to recalibrate the roof to the salaries of the PA, after the threshold of 240 thousand euros introduced by the Renzi government in 2014 was rejected by the Constitutional Court. The League then hopes in the blocking of the retirement age (“The accountancy at first spoke of 200 million, we will see,” said Undersecretary for work Claudio Durigon). For Forza Italia has already put the “deduction of extraordinary” and “of the contractual renewals” in the list of requests “. Moreover, the cutting of the Irpef has so far duled with the other proposed in the field of tax. There is an advanced DDL in the Finance Committee in the Senate, which will pass to the amendments phase in September as President Massimo Garavaglia has ensured.
