Tax, Casasco (FI): "Use increased tax revenue to reduce taxes."

"In the first six months of 2025, as certified by Bank of Italy data, tax revenues amounted to €257.3 billion, an increase of 3.4%, or €8.5 billion more than in the same period of the previous year. Therefore, with an expected annual increase of €17 billion, a quarter of this amount, or €4.2 billion, must be invested in reducing middle-class taxes from 35% to 33%, up to €60,000 ." This was written in a statement by Maurizio Casasco , Forza Italia MP and the party's head of economics.

It is now essential that the state incentivize business investments through the tax system and reduce taxes on families, particularly the middle class, channeling this increased revenue into the social economic system. Particular attention, he continues, must be paid to the Fund for the reduction of the tax burden established by the law established in 2014 and revised in 2022. This law, while establishing this condition as permanent, must be carefully monitored to ensure that the Fund's implementation is effective and targeted to its very purpose, so that it is not just a legislative tool but takes the form of a social economic intervention. The reduction of personal income tax from 35% to 33% for items up to 60,000 euros is a Forza Italia flagship, as reiterated several times by the party's national secretary, Antonio Tajani. It is essential that the middle class, which has until now shouldered the bulk of the tax burden, receives the due attention to the economic and social role it plays in the country and does not become a poor class. In recent years, the government has made the reduction of the tax wedge a structural measure and has recently also intervened to renew and incentivize social bonuses to support vulnerable people. Now we need tax equity in all welfare states that support the economy," concludes the MP.
