Parliament does not give up on the superbonus for single-family units. And after having repeatedly asked the Senate to extend the deadline of 30 June during the conversion of the Sostegni ter decree into law, now the House is back in pressing on the government. And in this case also raising the stakes. In the Commission for the Environment and Production Activities of Montecitorio, where the conversion of the “bills” decree into law is underway, the majority signed an amendment for the abolition of any restriction on the application of 110% for energy redevelopment and in the safety of the so-called villas.
Majority at risk
The 5 Star Movement, the Lega, the Democratic Party and Forza Italia signed the abolition of the deadline of 30 June and the 30% Sal constraint of works carried out by the end of June. In addition to this corrective, there are also two others, one from Coraggio Italia and one from the Mixed group, including the European Greens. In short, if we were to go to the count along the lines of what happened on the tax delegation, and in particular on the land registry reform, this time the government might not even win.
Fiscal spaces to be defined
The wild card that the executive will be able to play will be that of the costs that a modification to the superbonus of this type entails. On balance and looking at the recent past, the resources to be recovered to cancel the June 30 deadline for 110% of the houses could reach between 400 and 500 million euros. A sum currently not available in the budget made available to parliamentarians for amendments to the Legislative Decree, unless the Parliament and the government do not want to wait for the new fiscal spaces that the executive wants to guarantee with the Def arriving at the end of the month. Fiscal spaces that, however, the government’s intentions should all be directed to new aid to families and businesses in crisis due to war and expensive energy and hardly to be directed to the super bonus for single-family units.
Pressing sul 110%
Without reaching the abolition of the constraints that today limit the life of the houses by 110% at the end of June, the Lega and Italia Viva are asking for at least an extension of the June deadline. With three separate amendments, the government is asked to arrive at least until December 31, 2022. The possibility of completing at least one third of the works within the middle of the year is in fact the continuous change of the rules on the control front on building bonuses, expensive energy and now the war in Ukraine which weighs on the prices and materials to carry out the work.
The pressure on 110 per cent has also come from the left side of the majority. Aware of having to make legitimate requests from businesses and taxpayers coexist with public finance costs, Article one and Leu ask to move the deadline of 30 June at least until next 31 October. To understand if in the Chamber, unlike the Senate, pressing on 110% will produce some concrete effect, it will be necessary to wait in the coming days for the confrontation, certainly not easy, between the majority and the government and the vote of merit in the Commission on the various opening proposals.
