Irpef and tax for individuals. In 2022, the mechanism on which this tax is paid by taxpayers could change and could go from five to four rates and income brackets. The agreement on the first step of the tax reform to be included in the Budget Law would come out today from a meeting at the Ministry of Economy with the representatives of the majority groups and will now have to pass the examination of the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, and of the parties that support it.
The first income bracket up to 15,000 euros would see the rate reconfirmed at 23%. For those who earn from 15,000 to 28,000 euros the rate would rise to 25% against the current 27%. From 38% to 35% for those who declare between 28,000 and 50,000 euros. Above 50,000 euros the rate would be 43%, while previously there was a further band from 50,000 to 75,000 euros that paid 41% of Irpef.
The next steps therefore foresee a new meeting at the Mef between the Minister of Economy and the representatives of the majority forces, who will have to close the agreement. Which will then be translated into an amendment to the 2022 budget law, currently being examined by the Senate and which must be approved by parliament by December.
The decision to intervene on the tax for individuals, and not on the tax wedge as requested by several parties, is believed to have an impact on a greater number of taxpayers. In this way, in fact, we act on all those who pay the personal income tax and who instead would have been excluded from the reduction in the cost of labor that would have left some categories out of the tax cut, such as pensioners. To ‘compensate’ those who in theory should pay more (incomes between 55,000 and 75,000 euros), some small changes have also been announced on the no tax area.
Today a “ first structural step ” of the IRPEF reform has been made, says the deputy minister of Mise, Gilberto Pichetto, who attended the meeting for Forza Italia. “I am satisfied with the agreement ”, he adds.” Now Franco must talk about it with Draghi, we with our parties and then update us “.
” The tax cut envisaged by the Budget Law must be achieved through an increase in deductions for workers employees and retirees. Only in this way, as also underlined by the Bank of Italy, will a significant result be achieved for millions of Italians. “This was stated by the confederal secretary of UIL, one of the three largest trade unions, Domenico Proietti, shortly before the proposal resulting from the meeting with the Ministry was disclosed, “The hypothesis circulating in these hours of a revision of the rates and of the personal income tax brackets does not respond to this need – he insists – Uil invites the Government and the political forces to carry out an intervention that is really useful to the Italians “.
For Confindustria “The scissoring at the personal income tax rates disperses limited resources of only 8 billion, with imperceptible effects on the net incomes of Italian families, especially if the cut was also financed by a copious elimination of the IRPEF concessions – adds Viale dell’Astronomia – The solution reached not from certainties that these benefits will be maintained in future years, not from any response to the poor and incapable ”
“We are very satisfied. The hypothesis of the agreement concentrates resources on personal income tax, as we requested, and first of all helps those who pay a large part of the tax today: employees, pensioners, middle class, with benefits that can exceed 700 euros per year for some groups of taxpayers of the third income tax bracket, currently between 28 and 55 thousand euros “. Thus the economic manager of the Pd Antonio Misiani , questioned by telephone. “On Irap we discussed for a long time whether to cut horizontally or vertically, in the end we decided to abolish it for individuals only”, he adds.
Who earns from the IRPEF cut agreed at the Treasury table between Minister Daniele Franco and the parties Definitely the taxpayers with medium-high salaries. On the other hand, those with an income of up to 15,000 euros do not seem to be affected by the reform, given that the first bracket remains at 23%. A few hundred euros more will be available to the lower classes given that the Notax-area of ​​the self-employed could rise, according to what is learned, from 4,000 to 5,500 euros while that of pensioners, from 8,130 to 8,500 euros. The Notax-area of ​​employees is destined to remain unchanged at 8,145 euros.
The former Deputy Minister of Finance of the Renzi government, Enrico Zanetti, and accountant by profession, provides that the transition to 4 rates “will result in a maximum saving of 920 euros for taxpayers with a gross taxable income of 50 thousand euros”. Below that income threshold, explains Zanetti, “the savings will be lower and increasing; above they will be lower and decreasing until they stabilize at 270 euros starting from 75 thousand euros of gross taxable income onwards”. As it is explained that the first band, that of the most difficult subjects does not move from 23%
Perhaps because an intervention on that group would spread to 30 million taxpayers and as the accountants calculated at the time of the yellow-green government would produce a benefit of only 12 euros per month, as well as being a very costly measure for the state
