Upb, difficult to understand complex tax measures in motion – News – Ansa.it

The tax reform introduced by the budget, which includes Irpef, bonuses up to 20,000 euros and deductions from 20,000 to 40,000 euros, increases the already large differences in the tax treatment of the different categories of taxpayers (employees, pensioners and self-employed) who are however exempted with incomes exceeding 50,000 euros. The coexistence of three tools for reducing the tax on workers, which interact with each other in a complex way, “produces a complex fiscal architecture that is difficult to understood by the recipients”. This is the opinion of the PBO, which the House and Senate Budget commissions heard. Even on reductions and the introduction of the family allowance, “although the reform is a step towards tax costs, a more organic approach would be needed to rationalize them, also so that the system does not grow more complex”.


The PBO also notes that for Italian growth “external risks are increasing, the pace of post-pandemic recovery seems to be coming to an end”, as stated by the President Lilia Cavallari due to the latest Istat data on GDP for the third quarter. The 2025 growth objectives are more difficult, he said, explaining that the + 1.2% that the government estimates “is largely dependent on domestic demand which is largely dependent on the implementation of the Pnrr”. For this reason “it is important that projects are accelerated”.
