- A €2 charge would apply to every shipment valued up to €150, including parcels sent from within Italy, a design meant to avoid clashing with EU customs competences.
- The financial transactions tax would double from 2026 to 4 per mille on non‑regulated markets and 2 per mille on regulated markets, replacing earlier proposals for a gradual increase.
- Finance Department figures cited in reporting suggest the higher Tobin tax could raise roughly €1.5 billion over three years to help cover the cost of dividend‑tax adjustments.
- Short‑term rental rules would keep a 21% flat tax on the first property, set 26% on the second, and classify activity as a business from the third home.
