Italy considers 2027 Budget Law measures for families and workers

The Italian government is evaluating several measures for the 2027 Budget Law aimed at supporting families and worker purchasing power. A primary fiscal proposal involves extending the 33% Irpef tax rate to incomes up to 60,000 euros, a move estimated to cost approximately 3 billion euros and provide benefits of up to 1,000 euros per person.

Other measures under consideration include a potential reduction in the taxation of the thirteenth-month salary. Proposals suggest replacing standard Irpef with a flat tax of 10% or 15% for amounts up to 15,000 euros, which could save workers between 200 and 500 euros. Additionally, the government is studying the continuation of a 15% substitute tax on certain wage increments and night shift allowances.

Regarding family support, certain funds are already secured. This includes a bonus for working mothers with at least two children and incomes below 40,000 euros, as well as social security contribution exemptions for employees with at least three children. While some measures like the maternity bonus have been redesigned with annual funding of 300 million euros, the final implementation of many proposals depends on available financial coverage during the December approval process.
