Overview

• Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo confirmed a cut of the second IRPEF bracket from 35% to 33% for incomes between €28,000 and €50,000.
• The government is assessing a potential extension of the bracket up to €60,000 depending on available fiscal space and incoming ISTAT data.
• Accountants’ simulations estimate a state cost near €4 billion and savings such as about €627 per year for a taxpayer earning €40,000.
• Technical work includes possible revisions of tax deductions with a revaluation mechanism linked to family composition to preserve fairness.
• Political responses diverge as Fratelli d’Italia and Forza Italia support the cut, the Lega pushes a new long‑term tax‑bill rottamazione, unions split, and Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti ruled out authorizing access to bank account details.
