In the end, just under 6,000 amendments were submitted to the budget manoeuvre bill. 5,742 in all: about 1,600 from the opposition and about 3,800 from oppositions. By 18 November, the priority requests - the 'flagged' amendments - should total 414.

On a number of issues, the parties have expressed themselves several times in recent weeks, before the final handover on 14 November. From the expanded renting demanded by the League to the desire to eliminate the 26% tax on short-term rentals wanted by Forza Italia.

The building amnesty by Fratelli d'Italia

Others, however, were kept more hidden. And they emerged in the run-up to the weekend. As with the announcement by Senator Antonio Iannone of Fratelli d'Italia: 'We are reopening the terms of the building amnesty provided for by the 2003 law,' he wrote.

Explaining that 'there have been people who have been able to access the amnesty and others who, despite paying, have remained outside because of the Campania Region's mistake. The amendment, therefore, envisages 'measures for urban, environmental and landscape redevelopment, for the encouragement of the repression of illegal building, and for the definition of illegal building and occupation of state-owned areas'.

He sees it as a political move Angelo Bonelli of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra: "President Meloni has said several times that there would never be new amnesties. Today, instead, one of her exponents is presenting an amendment that has the sole purpose of collecting votes during the election campaign. We are faced with a real vote of exchange, unacceptable in a civilised country".

2 euro tax on small parcels outside the EU

From the party of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also came other news. One, linked to the recent approval at the Ecofin in Brussels, on the tax on small parcels. The amendment proposes the establishment of 'a contribution to the coverage of administrative costs related to customs formalities for small value shipments from third countries'. In practice, this means a contribution of two euros per shipment, to be applied on goods coming from non-EU countries and with a value of less than 150 euros.

Also noteworthy is the proposal for a supplementary pension fund for newborns starting in 2026.

And that of raising the ceiling on cash, with a €500 special stamp tax on every payment for the purchase of goods or services made in cash, 'within the territory of the State, for an amount between €5,001 and €10,000'.

The Forza Italia grave bonus

From Forza Italia came the amendment - tabled by Senator Daniela Ternullo - that provides for a 36% deduction (from the gross tax) for expenses relating to maintenance, restoration and building renovation work carried out on tombs, chapels, tombs and artefacts built on areas covered by cemetery concessions.

A deduction, divided into ten equal annual instalments, to be applied to a maximum expenditure of 32,000 euro per burial unit.

From Antonio Tajani's party also emerged the proposal of a government bond - the 'Btp Sanità' - to finance the personnel expenses of the National Health System. Signing the amendment is Maurizio Gasparri, Forza Italia's group leader in the Senate.

It would finance recruitment, stabilisation of precarious personnel, an increase in the number of hours of contracted personnel, and an increase in the number of in-house outpatient specialists employed in multidisciplinary territorial teams. The issue of the Btp Sanità, it says, "does not entail new or greater burdens for public finance, as it replaces ordinary issues

Doubling on bank levy by the League

Marco Dreosto and Elena Testor have filed an amendment to raise the IRAP base rate for banks and insurance companies from 2% to 4%. A move that would bring more than 1.1 billion per year over the three-year period to the security sector.

An amendment that was added to that of the other Lega exponents: from interventions on the House plan and the reshaping of the scrappage scheme to new recruitments in the police force and changes to the debt/credit compensation for companies.

Short-term rental rate

Another topic that inflames the majority is rents. Maurizio Lupi confirmed Noi Moderati's idea of wanting to reduce the coupon for long-term rentals from 21% to 15%. While the League wants to completely cancel the rule that increases the coupon on short-term rentals from 21 to 26%. Forza Italia, on the other hand, proposes to leave the coupon at 21% only for citizens renting a single property unit and instead apply 26% on all properties for those who rent two.
