Manoeuvre 2026, from housing to banks, dividends and the police: what may change in Parliament

There is no shortage of dissatisfaction, the weaknesses highlighted by the political forces of the majority. This is why the manoeuvre 2026, recently sent to the Senate for the start of parliamentary scrutiny, could register changes at that stage. From housing to banks, to dividends, to the police: these are the dossiers on which the greatest perplexity has been concentrated. The president of Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini, has identified some 'fundamental points' that, from the point of view of companies, are not good: the tightening of taxation on dividends, the restriction of the rules for offsetting tax credits, the lack of an extension of the operating rules for the guarantee fund for SMEs.

The dowry available for parliamentary changes, however, is not substantial compared to the 18.7 billion of the manoeuvre: there are 100 million euro - to be shared with the oppositions - that the parties can try to allocate to their priorities through amendments. But nothing more. Margins for changes? "The manoeuvre is not locked," recalled the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani.

All’interno della maggioranza è alto il pressing contro l’aumento della cedolare sugli affitti brevi. I due vicepremier, Antonio Tajani e Matteo Salvini, chiedono che l’intervento sugli affitti brevi sia cancellato. Su questo punto dunque c’è sintonia tra Fi e Lega (anche se il ministro dell’Economia Giorgetti ha difeso la norma in Parlamento). Nel mirino sembra essereci anche Daria Perrotta, Ragioniere generale dello Stato con cui diversi ministri in questi giorni hanno discusso per contenere i tagli ai loro dicasteri. «Per quanto riguarda gli affitti - ha detto Tajani - abbiamo detto che siamo contrari a qualsiasi tassa e adesso in Parlamento faremo di tutto per tornare allo stato attuale». Il leader di Fi ha annunciato: «Presenteremo emendamenti a partire dal Senato per eliminare questa tassa». Gianluca Caramanna, responsabile del Dipartimento turismo di Fratelli d

Forza Italia has not only pointed the finger at the dividend reform for company shareholders, which limits tax benefits to those who hold a stake of no less than 10 per cent, from which the government expects a billion a year under the regime. 'We are concerned about the tightening of the dividend tax regime, which risks compromising the competitiveness of Italian companies and the certainty of the regulatory framework,' said Angelo Camilli, vice-president for credit, finance and taxation at Confindustria.

"It is right," continued Tajani, "that the banks make a contribution, I am not saying that they should not make a contribution, but it is the way in which they are asked and what kind of contribution they have to make. In any case, everything can be improved in Parliament, knowing that for us the priorities are housing, dividends and the police. There we have to work so that there is a different treatment compared to other workers, and there too we will have to work hard for the right corrections.
