Remodulating the current fringe benefit system, trying to standardise it towards a single ceiling (the threshold being studied would oscillate between 1,500 and 2,000 euro) for everyone. This is the hypothesis on which, according to parliamentary sources, the majority would be at work, which would aim, given the good performance of this bonus, to confirm the measure in the next manoeuvre. The last budget law raised the exemption threshold for fringe benefits to 2,000 euro for workers with dependent children and to 1,000 euro for all others (opening up the possibility of also using them to pay rent or the first home mortgage).
The manoeuvre will be around 25 billion
."The impact of the manoeuvre will be 25 billion like that of a year ago". Thus Federico Freni, undersecretary for the economy, told 24 Mattino on Radio 24 about the cubature of the 2025 financial manoeuvre. "Before the manoeuvre, however," he added, "the structural budget plan will be fired, which must go through the approval of the Council of Ministers and above all the approval of Parliament with a procedure similar to that of the Nadef and the Def, it will be examined and with the motion system, hopefully, it will be approved."
Working Mums Bonus will not be cancelled
"I believe that if we were to chase all the rumours that come out at this time, it would be a very tiring and useless sport, but in the government's plans there is a birth incentive and support for working mothers, so to be able to cut this bonus seems to me to be out of the realm of reality," Freni said again, after rumours circulated about a possible cancellation on the so-called mothers' bonus, budgeted for 500 million in 2024.
To extend the Irpef rate to 60,000 we need money
.Freni also spoke on the subject of the possible extension of the second Irpef rate to incomes below 60,000 euro. 'It seems to me too early to say that it can be done or that it cannot be done,' he told Radio 24, 'I would say that we are working on it, also because these things are not just done with willpower, but are done with money in the till.
