Introduction to the 2025 maneuver
The 2025 maneuver has finally arrived in the House, bringing with it a budget bill consisting of 144 articles. This maneuver aims to address the country’s economic and social challenges, introducing measures ranging from tax deductions to pensions, from bonuses for newborns to support for working mothers. The government’s goal is to obtain final approval by Christmas, as stated by Prime Minister Meloni, who stressed the importance of keeping accounts in order without increasing taxes

Tax deductions and impacts on taxpayers
One of the most significant changes concerns tax deductions. Starting next year, taxpayers with incomes above 75 thousand euros will see a ceiling on deductions introduced. In particular, those who earn between 75 thousand and 100 thousand euros can deduct a maximum of 14 thousand euros, while for those over 100 thousand euros the ceiling will drop to 8 thousand euros. This change aims to modulate deductions based on family composition, excluding first home income and health expenses. It is expected that this measure will lead to savings for the State of about one billion euros

Measures for pensions and support for families
As far as pensions are concerned, the government has forecast an increase of 2.2% for pensions equal to or less than the minimum treatment, followed by a further increase of 1.3% in 2026. However, this increase was judged insufficient by the unions, who called for a day of national protest for November 20. In addition, the maneuver provides for outbound flexibility measures for mother workers, who will be able to access an old-age pension 16 months in advance if they have four or more children. Other measures include a one-off amount of one thousand euros for each child born or adopted and the daycare bonus, funded until 2029

Fringe benefits and support for workers
The draft of the Budget Law 2025 also introduces news regarding fringe benefits. New hires with an income not exceeding 35,000 euros will be able to benefit from a tax exemption of up to 5 thousand euros for rentals or maintenance of leased properties. In addition, for workers with children, the exemption limit is raised to two thousand euros. These measures are designed to support families and encourage employment, in an economic context that requires attention and targeted interventions
