ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The data of the Observatory 2026 of Itineraries Previdential, presented last week at CNEL, photograph an unbalanced fisco: 18,78% of taxpayers, those who declare more than 35 thousand euros, pays about 65% of the entire IRPEF, while almost seven out of ten taxpayers declare up to 29 thousand euros and pour little more than a fifth. The point, however, is not to divide the country between those who pay and those who do not, but to realize that income from dependent work and pension is taxed at the source, up to the last euro, while other income can count on alternative schemes, reduced rates or, worse, on evasion”. So Confused in a note.
“And in recent years those who live in payroll or pension paid twice: nominal increases, often just enough to defend the purchasing power, were taxed as if they were real earnings – the union continues –. Article 53 of the Constitution wants a tax system informed by progressive criteria. Every income that comes out of the progressive base to enter a replacement regime leaves the weight of the progressiveness on the shoulders of those who cannot get out of it: employees and pensioners”.
“The manoeuvre that the government will bring to Parliament by 20 October – says Francesco Prudenzano, Secretary General of Confaccordo – is the opportunity to give an answer to those who the tax really pays everything. The hypothesis of extending the rate of 33% up to 60 thousand euros may have its own logic, but to a worker from 25 or 30 thousand euros a year does not bring a euro. First it must be returned to employees and pensioners what inflation has taken away through the fisco. We do not ask for privileges: we ask for fairness for those who could never escape.”.
Confaccordo asks three interventions: “1) Return of tax drainage. Regularly adjust the gaps and deductions per employee and pension to the price trend, starting from income up to 35 thousand euros. 2) Prorogation of detaxation of contractual renewals. Extend to 2027 the substitution tax of 5% on increases in national collective agreements (Law No 199/2025, Art. 1, paragraph 7), today limited to amounts paid in 2026, including renewals signed in 2027. 3) Constrained evasion resources. The amount recovered from the fight against evasion is intended in a stable and verifiable way to lighten the load on dependent work and pensions. Tax justice is measured in a pay envelope and on the board. It is there that Confaccordo, with more than 446 thousand registered in large part employees and pensioners, will assess the next budget law”, concludes the union.
