Rome, 18 October 2021 – News on pensions: a two-year transitional phase should accompany the exceeding 100. This is the hypothesis that emerges in view of the arrival of the CDM Budget planning document, according to what Ansa learns from government sources. The work to intervene on pensions is still in progress, but in these hours the possibility is emerging that a mechanism that can be summarized as “quota 102“. But this idea on the one hand does not seem to please the League, which says it is against the measure and asks for even more flexibility, on the other hand it does not seem to fully convince the center left, who would like a more selective mechanism to support those who carry out strenuous jobs and women, with Italy alive which asks not to allocate a ‘disproportionate’ part of the maneuver to pensions, focusing instead on tax cuts.
On an altitude of 102 or 41, today it also intervened Elsa Fornero, who in an interview with the press, said they “would reproduce that injustice towards the new generations with respect to which we are always crying but then never be consequential. Not only would it not be wise, but it would be repeating past policies that I don’t think have done the country any good. “
The government roadmap
First the Draft Budgetary Document, with the skeleton of the maneuver, then the rules with the actual measures of the budget law. This is the government roadmap. Tomorrow the Dpb should arrive in Cabinet, after a meeting of the control room of the majority, to be broadcast to Brussels which awaits him from 15 October. There maneuver it should instead be examined at a subsequent meeting, perhaps at the end of the week, after Prime Minister Mario Draghi returns from the European Council, and after the meeting with the social partners.
The budget law
The budget law starts from one base of 22 billion guaranteed by the extra deficit, or by the difference between theindebtedness at a trend level (therefore with unchanged policies), which according to government estimates yes will reduce to 4.4% next year against a programmatic debt set at 5.6% of GDP. There are four issues that the government will have to address: citizenship income, pensions, tax wedge cuts and social safety nets reform. In Nadef, the government undertook to initiate the first phase of the reform of the personal income tax and social safety nets and to implement the single universal allowance.
The ‘tampon tax’
It could also fall with the next budget law ‘tampon tax’, VAT on sanitary towels. This is what is learned from government sources, on the sidelines of the comparison on the next maneuver. VAT is currently 22%, but it could go down to 4%, as is already the case only for biodegradable products.
