Forza Italia: "The budget must include a tax cut for the middle class."

"Forza Italia's economic strategy for next year's budget law focuses on lowering taxes for businesses and families, encouraging investment and higher wages, but without the left's flawed strategy that would penalize workers," Maurizio Casasco , the party's economic director, told Affaritaliani.

The budget, he explains, "will have to include a reduction in the personal income tax rate from 35% to 33% for up to 60,000 euros gross," which "costs around 4 billion euros. This is FI's flagship measure. The middle class has shouldered the bulk of the tax revenue; it's time they got the attention they deserve."

"We also need to review," Casasco continues, "the tax reduction fund, established in 2014 and revised in 2022, considering not only the funds deriving from tax evasion recovery but also those deriving from the decline in tax evasion, increased thanks to the tax agreement, the voluntary disclosure of tax returns, and the increase in employment. The reduction in tax evasion, while being considered permanent, along with the increase in tax revenues, must be primarily directed towards tax reduction, always in accordance with the concept that it is the lever for the country's development."

According to the Azzurri's economic director, "finally, as requested by Forza Italia, the INPS welfare data platform must be activated as soon as possible, similar to the existing one for the pension system. By activating this system, streamlining spending, and without cutting services, we can recover €10 billion to be used for tax cuts."
