Overview
- Roughly 5,500 amendments were filed in the Senate Budget Committee, to be narrowed to about 414 “signaled” items by Nov. 18 before negotiations with the Economy Ministry.
- The majority’s marquee proposal is a temporary substitutive tax to revalue investment gold at an agevolated 12.5–13% rate, targeting coins and bars (not jewelry) and modeled on past regularizations.
- Backers estimate €1.67–2.08 billion in receipts with about 10% take‑up, while M5S and Avs decry the plan as an amnesty and technical officials flag uncertainty over the actual yield.
- EU finance ministers are poised to end customs exemptions on small extra‑EU parcels, and Italian proposals include a possible €2 eco‑charge on packages under 2 kg as a domestic revenue option.
- A Treasury decree already in force updates IMU guidance, giving mayors defined flexibility for 2026 rates, including potential relief for second homes used seasonally and for uninhabitable properties.
