Taxation on short lease that won’t change. The aim of the League and Forza Italia is to freeze the increase in the flat tax rate planned in the budget, effectively increasing the levy from 21% to 26%. for almost all owners, except those who do not use the platform to rent out their homes. Yesterday afternoon, the deadline the Northern League gave its MPs to submit improvements to the budget bill expired. The internal deadline, considering the final date for submitting amendment requests to the Senate committee, is set for next Friday.
Short term rental
Regarding rentals, Northern League members asked to maintain the current system which sets a levy at 21% for the first home rented and 26% for the second, third and fourth homes. This position is also owned by Forza Italia. “The mechanism is simple. If two of the three parties say they don’t agree, it’s difficult to pass,” explained yesterday Claudio Borghi, a League senator and one of the four rapporteurs of the budget bill along with his colleagues Guido Quintino Liris (Fdi), Dario Damiani (Forza Italia) and Mario Alejandro Borghese (Noi Moderati). Rescinding articles that increase the flat tax rate is the primary goal, but other remedial measures could be limited to curbing such increases. The Minister of Economy himself, Giancarlo Giorgetti, has been open about the changes, but on several occasions he has also explained the reasons for the increase: short-term rentals aimed at tourists flocking to Italian cities are affecting the market and the availability of accommodation for families.
Scrapping and retirement
Another goal set by the Northern League is bringing home a wider audience for the elimination of the tax bill which for leader Matteo Salvini is possible due to the contributions requested from banks. According to the party’s intentions, taxpayers who have received assessment letters are also entitled to benefit from the nine-year installment program. Even the chapters pension it is one of the hot topics for Northern League supporters. “There is a margin in everything, I know Claudio Durigon is working on it,” said Salvini yesterday from Bari, on the sidelines of an event held by his party ahead of the Regional. Maximum confidentiality regarding the contours of possible interventions. Borghi also later announced two interventions whose titles alone will spark debate once they find space in the amendment dossier. The first proposal aims to cancel the reversibility of civil unions. The second idea hypothesizes an exit from the European Stability Mechanism, the ESM, whose reforms have not yet been ratified by Italy that would allow vehicle funds to be used as a parachute for a banking crisis. «Let’s sell ESM shares, so we can get back 15 billion to use to lower taxes», provoked Borghi.
That decision
Meanwhile, after almost a year has passed since the passing of the 2025 budget law, the Prime Minister’s Decree scheme to monitor and determine “significant contributions” paid by the State aimed at companies, agencies and foundations is back in circulation. The provisions set the threshold at which such contributions are considered “significant” at 1 million euros. At this point, for the beneficiaries, a series of checks will begin on the use of resources entrusted to the internal control body which must submit a report to the Ministry of Economy by April 30. An alternative to not complying with the new obligations is to forego contributions.
