Leo: "Income tax cut between €28,000 and €50,000, perhaps €60,000." 50% construction bonus, extension under consideration.

MILAN – The government is working to introduce a tax reduction for middle- to upper-income earners as well. Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo reiterated this, adding that a review of tax deductions for dependents is also under consideration. Leo said in a telefisco interview on the Sole24Ore website that the government and the majority are focusing on "meeting the middle class, always within the limits of resources. The aim is to focus especially on the €28,000 to €50,000 bracket, thus increasing the rate from 35% to 33% and possibly expanding it to €60,000."

The reduction of personal income tax for the middle class "is one of the issues that is particularly close to our hearts, to which we can also add a mechanism for reassessing and reviewing deductions based on the composition of the family unit. These are issues that must be addressed jointly."

Gava: "Working to extend 50% construction bonus"

The government is also officially open to the possibility of extending the 50% building bonus, which was due to expire on December 31st this year, rising to 36% starting next year. "Together with the Minister of Economy and Finance, Giancarlo Giorgetti, we are working to increase the tax deductions for home renovations to 50% in 2026, currently at 36%, and we are considering extending the application period to five years instead of ten, making the ecobonus more immediate and affordable," said Deputy Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Vannia Gava. "With these measures, we want to help families, support the construction industry—a key sector for the economy—and promote urban redevelopment, while respecting public resources."
