Everything is ready, or almost ready, for the exclusion of government bonds and postal passbooks from Isee 2025.

Last Wednesday the Chamber of Deputies received the outline of the Dpcm amending the Isee regulation (Dpcm 159/2013): among other corrective measures, the measure introduces a rule (the new paragraph 4-bis of Article 5) that makes the novelty introduced by the Budget Law for 2024 and still inapplicable operational. Once the opinions of the parliamentary commissions have been obtained, the new method of calculating the indicator of the equivalent economic situation of households will be able to enter into force as of 2025.

The government is therefore proceeding swiftly to implement a thorough revision of the mechanism for calculating the indicator itself, in particular of the snapshot of household assets.

Paragraph 183, Article 1, of the last Budget Law provided for the exclusion from the calculation of the Isee, up to a total value of 50 thousand euro, of government securities and financial products for the collection of savings with the obligation of repayment backed by a government guarantee. Reference is therefore made to BoTs, CTz, BTp, CcTs, postal savings bonds, and postal savings books, the possession of which - within the threshold of 50 thousand euro - will therefore not be relevant for the family Isee.Savings collection products intended for the retail public are included, with the exclusion of those intended for institutional investors and those indirectly through funds not directly owned.

As stated in the technical report to the corrective Dpcm, the novelty will produce 'the effect of decreasing the value of the Isee with consequences in terms of higher expenses for benefits linked to the means test measured through the Isee'. By now, more and more social benefits are being granted on the basis of certain Isee thresholds: gas and electricity bonus, crèche bonus, single allowance, inclusion allowance, psychologist bonus, Dedicata a te card, tuition fee reductions or exemptions from co-payments. And others are being studied (see the tab on the right).

Yet - the report goes on to say - "most benefits envisage decidedly contained Isee levels, such as to consider the Isee reduction effect negligible" following the exclusion of government bonds. The impact, instead, could be more onerous for the single allowance, given the universality of the benefit and the granularity of the Isee classes to which different amounts correspond. In this case, 'the estimated weight is limited and on average almost 0.7 per cent with an impact on the benefit amount of 0.23 per cent'. The measure thus determines a higher expenditure of approximately 44 million euros per year, for which ad hoc financial coverage has already been provided in the past manoeuvre.

In addition, the report to the Dpcm, on which the parliamentary commissions will have to express their opinion in the coming weeks, recalls that within 30 days of the approval of the new Dsu model for the calculation of the Isee 2025, the various bodies that provide subsidised services will be able to decide whether or not to proceed with a 'downward revision of the Isee access thresholds', precisely in order to avoid greater burdens.

L’ESCLUSIONE DEI TITOLI DI STATO

Simulations carried out for Il Sole 24 Ore del Lunedì by Caf Acli help to understand concretely what will change with the new Isee "without government bonds". For example, two parents with two children, an income from employment, a house they own, and about 79 thousand euro of movable assets, will see their Isee go down by about 2 thousand euro (-8.6%) if 25 thousand euro are invested in government bonds. If this share then rises to 50 thousand euro (thus the maximum threshold that can be reduced), the Isee can also fall by up to 4 thousand euro (-17.2%) compared to the current one.

The publication in the Official Gazette of the Prime Minister's Decree will then have to be followed by the operating instructions of the Inps for the compilation of the new Single Substitute Declaration, which - in cascade - will have to guide the Cafes and the pre-filled sending of the model. The text has already obtained the favourable opinions of the Privacy Guarantor, the Council of State, and the Unified Conference. The Regions have also given the go-ahead, asking the government, however, to 'urgently set up an ad hoc technical round table' to initiate a comparison 'aimed at an overall revision of the regulations, in the interests of greater fairness and sustainability'.

Laying the - necessary - foundations for the full technical operability of the new Isee was, finally, the Revenue Agency's measure of 28 October, which introduced the obligation for financial operators (banks, post offices, brokers, investment and savings companies) to communicate the data relating to the asset items concerned.

Until now, in fact, banks were only required to communicate the average balance of financial relations for the purposes of calculating the Isee, while now they will also have to transmit the value, recorded at the end of the period, of government securities in the name of natural persons. The communication of the data referring to 2023, which will feed into the Isee 2025 calculations, must take place by 31 December next. In this way, in order to simplify the compilation and verification of discrepancies in the Dsu, for the first time this information will enter the Tax Registry.
