Overview
- Lawmakers filed 5,742 amendments in the Senate’s Budget Committee, including over 1,600 from the governing parties (FI 677, FdI ~500, Lega 399, Noi Moderati 62) and 3,830 from the opposition.
- By Nov. 18, groups must designate 414 priority amendments, with 238 slots for the majority, before the committee begins detailed bargaining.
- Revenue options under review include a temporary 12.5% revaluation tax on investment gold that simulations say could raise €1.67–2.08 billion at 10% uptake, plus an EU-cleared duty on small parcels from outside the bloc targeted for 2026.
- Lega seeks to use or sell Italy’s ESM (MES) quotas to fund health or tax cuts and to reopen tax “rottamazione,” while Forza Italia and Lega push to reverse the planned hike on short‑term rental flat tax and ease dividend taxation.
- Fratelli d’Italia proposes reopening the 2003 building amnesty, described as nationwide but focused in practice on Campania, as opposition parties advance a joint package on minimum wage, fiscal-drag relief and health funding with union protests planned for late November and December.
