Roofs and lower earnings, the nodes of the new pensions
- Here comes the 'flexible early retirement' but with a ceiling on the check and a ban on accumulation.
There is an adjustment to inflation but only for pensions up to 2,100 euros: for all the other allowances reduced compared to expectations with lower earnings of over 400 euros per year.
From 103 to the new calculation method for revaluing cost of living allowances, the innovations in the field of pensions introduced by the maneuver leave some knots open.
To which are added the doubts also around the new Option for women.
The major concern is the new pension equalization mechanism, which marks a return to 'bands' in place of the more favorable three Prodi 'brackets' restored last year by the Draghi government.
In fact, from January 1st, the adjustment to the
inflation (which a decree by Economy Minister Giorgetti has set at 7.3%) will be full only for checks equal to or less than 4 times the minimum (2,096 euros gross), but beyond that threshold progressive cuts will take place.
The revaluation will therefore be 80% for the 2,096-2,620 euro range;
to then progressively drop to 55%, 50%, 40% and finally 35% for pensions exceeding 10 times the minimum (5,240 euros gross).
This means that those who receive 2,600 euros gross will see their pension rise by 146 euros (the 80% revaluation translates into a +5.84%), but losing about 34 euros per month compared to the old system and 446 per month. year.
For a gross check of 3,100 euros, you will end up pocketing 110 euros less per month.
A system that allows savings (estimated around 2 billion) necessary to cover the social security measures contained in the budget law.
But that sends the unions into a rage.
"Italian pensioners are treated like ATMs", attacks the general secretary of Spi-Cgil Ivan Pedretti, noting that pensions of 1,500-1,600 euros net per month, the result of over 40 years of work and contributions paid, are "passed for rich".
On the other hand, the gains - albeit slightly - will be the minimum pensions, for which a 120% revaluation is envisaged: in addition to the 7.3% adjustment, there will also be an increase of 1.5 percentage points for each month ( and another 2.7 points in 2024) and thus the 2.5 million pensioners involved will receive 570 euros.
About 8 euros more than necessary,
For cigarettes, 20 cents rise, e-cigs also go up
- The increase in the cost of cigarettes envisaged by the draft of the maneuver amounts to about 20 cents in the first year and is between 10 and 15 on average over the three years.
After two years of no tax increases, the text raises the so-called 'specific' excise duty (today in Italy at the lowest levels in Europe) from 23 to 36 euros per 1,000 cigarettes in 2023, to 36.50 euros per 1,000 cigarettes in 2024 and to 37.00 euros per 1,000 cigarettes starting from 2025. An increase in the fixed part which entails an automatic reduction in the variable part of the excise duty and which, on balance, translates precisely into an average increase in prices, considering both high and low-end products, about 20 cents a pack the first year and 10-15 cents over the three years on average.
The tax on e-cigarettes is stabilized,
already protagonists in past years of increases but then sterilized.
In this case it is about 8 cents per ml for e-cigs without nicotine and about 13 euro cents per ml for products with nicotine.
In the wake of recent years in this case, the tax on heated tobacco continues to increase.
Over the four years it amounts to 10-15 cents.
According to some estimates, the whole operation would involve a collection of over 100 million a year.

6 million to support sport, half for maternity athletes -
6 million euros are on the way to support the Italian sports movement, half of which to support maternity leave for non-professional athletes.

200 million arrive in 4 years for ski facilities
