Conversely, the time for decisions that will determine the final content of the large “package” of tax and benefits that the prime minister will announce to the TIF. Around the end of June with early July, the measures to be announced will be largely formed. Ideas are still falling on the table right now, others absolutely feasible and others to the limits of “first -rate surprise”. But no one is excluded, all is the subject of discussion and some have already received “green light”.

The only sure thing at the moment is that the Maximus Palace gives ‘Appointment in September»With tax cuts: a beam of measures that aspires to limit tax burdens mainly to middle income. However, in the “basket”, benefits begin to enter and recently seemed impossible, but it is not excluded that they will be activated due to budget overward. Since, of course, the trade war that has erupted with responsibility Trump does not disturb this course.

What measures have been “locked” and what are the “surprises”

At the government table – in any case – there are currently interventions related to direct taxation and focusing this time on middle incomes, which are considered to have pulled the whole “paddle” in difficult times (memorandums, coronavirus, energy crisis).

The “scissors” in indirect taxes has not yet been warm into the “conversation”, however nothing is excluded as the budget is overflowing by continuing to supply the available fiscal space in conjunction with the “gift” The Commission on Defense Expenditure, elements that can form such an environment that will allow even more brave tax breaks.

The list of changes in the income tax scale of natural persons, living presumptions, ENFIA, independent rental taxation, retirement solidarity levy and possibly abolishing the business fee and businesses.

At the table and another reduction in insurance contributions by 0.5% or 1%. All of the aforementioned one way or another should be considered “locked” with what is left to be the “detail” which is usually the one that makes the difference: on the one hand in terms of final costs for state funds and on the other in the … pocket of citizens.

But some interventions have also come into the “conversation”, which are currently moving into the “realm” of their “realm”. ‘First -rate surprises’But without – for the time being – they have been ruled out as a prospect: these are nothing more than the infamous 13th pension, the abolition of personal difference and the complete abolition of ENFIA for the first accusation, of course measures that are capable of even changing political balances.

The whole beam of measures that are on the table

In detail, the bunch that the government is studying:

– Changes in the tax scale: They are one of the interventions that have received “green light”. Emphasis will be placed on the relief of the middle class and in particular those with incomes of more than 20,000 euros. The suggestions made in this direction are:

-> Redesigning the tax scale with the addition of new intermediate tax rates for income between 20,000 and 50,000 euros. On the table and the reduction of existing intermediate coefficients by 2 to 3%.

-> Increase income above which the top tax rate will be applied. Today the top tax rate of 44% is imposed on the part of the income exceeding 40,000 euros. There is talk of imposing this high rate on incomes of more than 50,000 euros.

– Changes to ENFIA: The original plan was to review the tax on the property for properties of more than 400,000 euros. However, ‘strong paper’ is The proposal for horizontal abolition of ENFIA in the first residence. An intervention, however, that has a high cost and will also need to be “countermeasures”.

– “Haircut” by 30% of the living documents in the first phase and their complete abolition over time.

– Abolition of the Time Time and for their businesses and branches.

– Solidarity contribution of pensioners: Have fallen on the table and new interventions after scale price

– 13th pension: The reinstatement of the 13th pension requires huge funds, so it is “chatting” about a “hybrid” form. Be paid to pensioners every year before Christmas half a pension as a permanent allowance.

– Remove personal difference: This is almost 1/3 of retirees, which does not receive “in hand” increases in pensions due to its existence.
