The Chamber approves the decree on Irpef advance payments 2025

The House has approved on the the decree on Irpef advance payments due for the year is final 2025, already passed by the Senate. The favorable votes were 153, while 101 opposition MPs abstained. The decree that now becomes law puts an end to months of uncertainties and controversies, especially on the part of the Caf and the unions, concerned about the repercussions on taxpayers of a regulatory flaw that would weigh on the pockets of employees and pensioners. Now all those who do not receive income additionally they will not be required to pay any Irpef advance payment for next year. The regulatory clarification was made necessary due to a lack of coordination between the legislative decree of 2023, which had introduced on an experimental basis the reduction of Irpef brackets from four to three, and the 2025 budget law, which made this reduction structural. However, a part of the legislation remained anchored to the old system four rates for calculating advance payments, generating confusion and potential aggravations. In practice, as denounced by the Cgil last March, the Irpef rates have become three, but the advance payments relating to the 2024 tax periods to be paid in June and November should have been calculated with the old regime in four brackets (23%, 25%, 35% and 43%) and with the deduction for income from employment in force as of 31 December 2023 (1,880 euros). Levels no longer in force and more burdensome than the current. "A glaring injustice" to the detriment of "the only ones who "they pay their taxes in full," the union called it, effectively forcing the government to intervene. The correction will have an estimated cost of 2025 245.5 million euros. The burden will be covered through a reduction of the Mef Fund for the accounting system of suspended matches and, in 2026, the sum will be transferred to a fund intended to compensate for any deviations in balance sheet.
