Italy considers Irpef tax cuts and thirteenth-month salary relief
The Italian government is considering several fiscal measures aimed at reducing the tax burden on workers and the middle class. Proposed changes to the Irpef income tax include lowering the first bracket from 23% to 22% for incomes up to 28,000 euros. Additionally, there are proposals to extend the 33% tax bracket to cover incomes up to 60,000 euros, which could provide savings of up to 1,000 euros annually for some taxpayers.
Another potential measure involves the tax reduction of the thirteenth-month salary (tredicesima). The proposal suggests lowering the tax rate from 15% to 11% for workers earning up to 15,000 euros, which would increase net monthly pay for lower-income earners.
Political representatives from Fratelli d'Italia have highlighted that the current administration has already reduced the tax burden by approximately 33 billion euros through various measures, including cuts to the tax wedge and tax exemptions for contractual increases. These fiscal adjustments are expected to be central themes in upcoming budget laws.
