Painful points of the meeting at Palazzo Chigi, the "description of the enabling law, 48 hours after the Council of Ministers", complains the CGIL, which also says it disagrees on the merits of the reform: "We do not agree either on the reduction of the three rates, because it favors high and very high incomes - so the deputy secretary general of the CGIL, Gianna Fracassi - nor on the flat tax, which is outside the dimension of progressivity provided for by the Constitution".
"
Inadequate", the confrontation with the government, also for the CISL, according to which it is necessary to "accelerate the comparison of social security, pensions, health and safety, non-self-sufficiency, relaunch of investments, quality and stability of work". So Luigi Sbarra, who says he is ready to evaluate, together with the other acronyms, "mobilization initiatives".

"This delegation must face as a priority an epochal turning point in the fight against evasion, a real fight without which there can be no real tax reform", says the UIL, which entering into the merits of the reformulation of the three IRPEF rates says that the executive "does not give an answer to the need to cut the tax wedge, which we must cut by 5 points now, not during the legislature", so the confederal secretary Domenico Proietti.

The "revolution after 50 years"
In the draft law object of the meeting, according to the Government, a "revolution", 50 years after the last comprehensive reform, which dates back to the 70s. In summary, the measure will go from 4 to 3 Irpef brackets, a gradual elimination of IRAP, IRES at two rates, a reorganization of VAT. But in the provision there is also a revision of tax breaks, reduction of litigation between administration and taxpayers and "attraction of foreign capital". These are the main novelties of the Meloni government's tax reform, which will arrive in the Council of Ministers on Thursday.

The new Irpef brackets
There are two hypotheses: 23%, 27% and 43%. Or 23%, 33% and 43%. The resources will come, at least in part, from the revision of the benefits, with a "flat-rate based on income", which will leave - so the government - intact those on mortgages and health expenses. For companies, on the other hand, there will be two IRES rates, with a reduction for income destined for investments and new employment to which the rationalization or elimination of current tax credits will correspond.

One of the other measures - already promoted with flying colors by companies - is the gradual overcoming of IRAP (starting with small companies), shared by all. Traders and consumers, on the other hand, are looking above all at the reorganization of VAT rates. The delegation does not explain what it consists of but the Deputy Minister of the Economy, Maurizio Leo, spoke of the possibility of zero rate (as was the case of Covid vaccines) for bread, pasta or milk. Another objective is to eliminate stamp duty - mortgage and cadastral - but also special cadastral taxes and mortgage taxes, which are to be replaced with a single tax "possibly in a fixed amount".
