The Save 730 decree is expected in the Holy Week, and in particular for the Irpef 2025 advance payments.

On 25 March last, the Ministry of Economy and Finance itself had taken note of the complaint made by CGIL and the Caf on the error contained in the now upcoming income tax return and which, on balance, would have obliged taxpayers with debts for 2025, with incomes in addition to those already subject to withholding tax, to pay IRPEF advances taking into account the tax still based on four rates and not on three as amended by the tax reform with the 2023 implementing decree.

The three-rate down payment

.

Barring any last-minute changes of course, therefore, before Easter the new decree-law will translate the clarification provided at the end of March into law, thus sheltering the first pre-compiled declarations that will be put on line by the Inland Revenue Agency from 30 April next.

The decree will therefore intervene on the legislative decree with which the government reduced from 25 to 23% the Irpef rate for incomes from 15,000 to 28,000 euro and the raising of the employee deduction from 1,880 euro to 1,955 euro, providing that this new discipline would not apply to advances for the tax years 2024 and 2025.

But with the stabilisation of the new three-rate Irpef curve in the last budget law, this public accounts safeguard clause introduced because the Irpef reform was introduced on a temporary basis no longer has any reason to exist. That is why the reference in the decree establishing the three-rate Irpef to the 2025 advance payments will be deleted in the new emergency measure.

The Scope of Intervention

.

In the clarification provided to the Cafes and the trade unions, the MEF had also explained that the delegated legislator had not intended 'to intervene against individuals, such as the majority of employees and pensioners, who, in the absence of other income, are not required to submit a tax return'.

For this reason, the MEF had again emphasised that 'the advance payment for the year 2025 is due, with the application of the 2023 rates, only in cases where the difference between the tax for the year 2024 and the deductions, tax credits and withholding taxes is greater than EUR 51.65, all however calculated in accordance with the regulations applicable to the 2024 tax period'.

The expectations of the Caf

.

It will be a race against time and, also for this reason, it is necessary for the decree to arrive as soon as possible. The Cafes, as explained by the coordinator of the national council Giovanni Angileri in 'Il Sole 24 Ore' on Monday, 14 April, are going ahead with appointments, but at the same time they are taking their time without printing the tax settlements.

The need for officialdom

.

But the Inland Revenue Agency is already working to try to arrive on time for the date of 30 April: that is, the date on which the pre-filled 730 will be made available to more than 20 million taxpayers. 

The 'base' of support is precisely the Economy communiqué of 25 March, which allowed the tax authorities to prepare their moves. On the one hand, in fact, it is necessary to update the instructions to the 730.

On the other, software and technical specification updates must be made: moves that are also preparatory to making the updated calculation mechanism available to software manufacturers. But it is one thing to be ready and another to be official. That is why, with the approval of the decree before Easter, the 730 would be safe.
