Manoeuvre, from cutting the Rai licence fee to school vouchers: the new proposals

From Forza Italia, in particular from Gasparri, came the amendment on the Btp Sanità, already announced days ago. The resources from the bond issue are used to finance the "National Territorial Service Personnel Fund"

Next, under the first signature of Claudio Lotito, was the 'school voucher'. It envisages a maximum of 1,500 for families with an Isee of less than 30,000 euro to be used for parish schools. The coverage comes from the fund for structural interventions of economic policy.

And, again from Lazio's patron, one that provides for the restriction on the participation of funds in Italian football teams. Every year, the text explains, the names of all subjects - natural or legal persons - who hold at least 5% of the share capital or voting rights, together with the origin of the funds and any links with other sports clubs, in Italy or abroad, must be communicated to the FIGC, Lega and Anac.

Legal entities holding a stake of 5% or more and involved in financial transactions will also have to carry the Code Lei, the international standard that identifies legal entities. Foreign funds, trusts and vehicles that acquire at least 5% of a club will be obliged to set up a company under Italian law within 90 days and to appoint a legal representative resident in the country. Otherwise, financial sanctions or sporting penalties will be imposed.

Then there is the issue of gold. Forza Italia proposes that, "for precious metals in their unrefined or monetized state held on 1 January 2026", "instead of the cost or purchase value, or in the absence of documentation to prove it, the value on that date may be taken, provided that the aforesaid value is subject to a substitute tax of 13% on income". The payment must be made by the end of September next with the option to pay in three instalments.

The League's amendment provides for the possibility of a tax revaluation by 30 June 2026 by taxpayers who owned investment gold on 1 January 2026 in the absence of documentation proving the relevant cost or purchase value, setting a substitute rate of 12.5 per cent.

From Fratelli d'Italia, however, Senate group leader Lucio Malan referred to the gold reserves held by the Bank of Italy, which instead"belong to the state in the name of the Italian people"

Operation amnesty takes another step forward. The four amendments to the budget bill dedicated to building amnesties and signed by Fratelli d'Italia have all entered the dossier of reported proposals.

Giorgia Meloni's party also proposes to extend tax relief on contract renewals. According to the reported amendment, the 5% substitute tax for incomes up to EUR 28,000 applies to agreements signed also in 2024 (not only in 2025 and 2026). The group of employees affected is also extended to incomes between EUR 28,000 and EUR 35,000, but in this case with a 10% substitute tax.

Finally, they also advance the Young People's Welfare Fund, with the families of newborns that will be able to activate it by paying at least 100 euro in the first three months of life - and the INPS will contribute 50 euro - and the doubling of the cash cap by inserting 'a special stamp tax, in the fixed amount of 500 euro', on every payment between 5,001 and 10,000 euro.
