Overview
- A €2 contribution would apply to every shipment valued up to €150, including domestic parcels, to avoid a measure that would be treated as an EU customs duty if limited to extra‑EU arrivals.
- The plan includes doubling the financial-transaction (Tobin) tax, with Il Sole 24 Ore reporting an immediate 2026 increase and Corriere outlining a phased path backed by FdI.
- Short‑term rental rules would keep a 21% flat tax on the first property, set 26% on the second, and treat rentals as a business from the third unit, requiring VAT registration.
- The two‑point IRAP increase would remain focused on banks and insurers, excluding industrial holdings as well as SIM, SGR and SICAV from the higher levy.
- Adjustments to dividend taxation aim to prevent double taxation via alternative participation thresholds, committee votes are expected within days, and final parliamentary approval is targeted by year‑end.
