Matteo Salvini fiscal and taxation proposals

Overview

Matteo Salvini, the Italian Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Lega party, has introduced several fiscal proposals regarding the national budget.

Initially, Salvini proposed a three-year, annual 5% tax on the profits of Italy’s top 10 banks. He indicated that revenue from this measure could be used to fund increased pensions, higher salaries in high-cost regions, and a doubling of the military presence in the ‘Strade Sicure’ security program.

Subsequently, Salvini clarified his stance on broader taxation by pledging that there would be no wealth tax while the Lega remains in government. He also expressed intent to raise the flat tax threshold for artisans, professionals, and VAT holders to 100,000 euros. He noted that current European Union directives limit this threshold to 85,000 euros and that the center-right coalition intends to discuss requesting an increase to avoid EU sanctions.
