Following the signing of the draft agreement for the renewal of the national collective agreement and the supplementary agreement for employees of the Revenue and Collection Agency, the agency and the trade unions are continuing the process of implementing the agreed terms, pending the workers’ assemblies giving the green light to the agreement reached on 21 May. These will officially begin next week and conclude in early July.

The increases come into effect in July

The May agreement had set an average increase of €210 for the reference level – namely the third area, third level – which, together with the increase in the value of seniority increments, brings the overall percentage increase to 10%. At a meeting with Fabi, First, Fisac, Uilca and Unisin, the Authority announced that, starting with the July salary, salaries will be paid in line with the new pay scale values and the new amounts for seniority increments and the amount resulting from the pay scale restructuring provided for in the contract renewal. The changes regarding working hours, which will bring the weekly working week to 37 hours, will instead come into effect from 1 August.

Arrears in October

According to the trade unions, the Agency has confirmed that the outstanding contractual payments will be paid with the October salary, a timeline necessitated by the need for further investigation and technical checks on individual positions, taking into account any absences for any reason during the relevant period, as well as any changes to job classification. The new provisions on remote working, up to 9 days a month, and on meal vouchers, the value of which remains at €7, have been confirmed from July onwards; however, these will also be provided for remote working.

Management and part-time roles

Regarding the additional allowances for senior managers, it has been confirmed that the recalculation will be based solely on the first half of 2026, resulting in a re-proportioning of both the financial amounts and the existing time bands, with the values halved. On this issue, however, the trade unions have reserved the right to seek further clarification.

A memorandum has been signed regarding part-time staff, specifying that the reduction in working hours will not be adjusted in line with the schedules set out in the current agreements; instead, whilst the number of working hours for each part-time employee remains unchanged, these hours will be compensated financially.

The incentive scheme

The documentation presented by the Authority showed, as explained in the trade union statement, that employees of the Revenue Agency – Collection Division had, once again in 2025, met their assigned targets and, in several areas, exceeded the planned budgets. The trade unions argue that, although the current structure of the incentive scheme has not been subject to collective bargaining, it is necessary to ensure adequate recognition, including in financial terms. It is precisely for this reason that they have called for a review of the value of the incentive scheme’s bonus, which has remained unchanged for many years, so that the improvement in performance recorded is reflected in financial terms. This request was not accepted by the Authority.

The Vap

It has been confirmed that the 2025 VAP will be paid with the June salary. Furthermore, in line with the provisions of the draft agreements signed, the 2026 VAP scale, to be paid in 2027, will be increased by 15%. The parties have taken note of the provisions introduced by the 2026 Budget Law, which provide, for performance-related bonuses covered by collective bargaining and up to an amount of €5,000, the application of a reduced tax rate of 1%, with clear benefits for the workers concerned, including those already due for payment this year.

Health Insurance

Regarding the health insurance policy, although the new insurance contract has not yet been formally signed, the Authority has provided an initial update on the outcome of the tender process. The award of the contract would enable tangible improvements to be made across all the main items already included in the technical specifications forming the basis of the tender, from maximum limits and excesses to minimum thresholds for accessing services, thereby making healthcare cover more accessible and beneficial for people. The extension of cover to family members who are not fiscally dependent remains excluded.
