Overview

• Government plans under study would lower the middle IRPEF rate from 35% to 33% and extend the bracket ceiling from €50,000 to €60,000 starting in 2026.
• Izi simulations indicate roughly 27.4% of taxpayers—about 11 million people—would benefit from the change.
• Estimated tax savings range from modest amounts for lower middle incomes to as much as about €1,400 a year for those earning above €60,000.
• The analysis suggests gains would reach employees, the self‑employed and pensioners, with relief focused on middle and upper‑middle incomes.
• Forza Italia is pressing the case while floating detaxing overtime and holiday pay and lower contributions for very low wages, as financing and scope remain to be decided in budget talks.
