Tax-free wages also in the public administration, here are the measures of the manoeuvre
On pensions interventions of 3 billion over 3 years. In the race for cover, Pnrr remodulation (5 billion) surpasses banks (4.5)
by Marco Mobili and Gianni Trovati
Deductions of salary shares to defend purchasing power will also be made for civil servants and will go hand in hand with the 10% flat tax and the ultra-light rate on productivity bonuses for the private sector. 3 billion euro will be dedicated to pension adjustments between 2026 and 2028, which will be used to progressively increase the requirements linked to life expectancy with ad hoc protection for hardworking and precocious workers.
The second rate of Irpef will fall from 35 to 33% with sterilised effects only for the highest incomes, and the deductions for interventions on first homes (50%) and other properties (36%) will remain in place in the same form as this year. On social policies, alongside the obvious replication of the "Dedicated to you" card that will support the purchase of basic foodstuffs for families in economic difficulty also in 2026 and 2027, there will be funds for "the completion of the reform of the role of the family caregiver", and the bonus for working mothers will be increased (from 40 to 60 euro).

The Irpef cut, as expected, will cost about 2.8 billion per year, while 2.1 billion will be directed to the additional tax burden on labour with the de-taxation of contractual increases and productivity bonuses in the private sector, while in the public sector the tax relief will focus on portions of the 'ancillary salary', that which is added to the basic salary (the tabular) in the PA employees' pay scheme.
Social measures
Family and welfare will be able to count on 1.6 billion euro, which will also be used for the exclusion from Isee calculations of the cadastral value of housing up to 92,000 euro (today, the reduction takes away 52,500 euro) and the strengthening of benefits for families with at least two children by intervening on the 'equivalence scale' that reduces the indicator based on the composition of the family nucleus. Strong investments (1.4 billion) will also be made for security and civil protection, while the pensions dossier will be based on 450 million euro in 2026 (and three billion euro over the three-year period).
