- The measure would involve just over 14 million taxpayers and about 11 million families, roughly 44% of resident households, with an average gain of about €276 per family.
- More than 85% of the resources would accrue to higher‑income households, concentrating benefits in the top two income quintiles.
- Over 90% of families in the richest fifth would be affected by the cut, compared with more than two‑thirds in the second‑richest fifth.
- Average annual gains range from €102 for the poorest fifth to €411 for the richest fifth, representing less than 1% of family income across all groups.
- Istat President Francesco Maria Chelli presented the findings on November 6 in a hearing before the Senate and Chamber budget committees to inform scrutiny of the budget.
