The new Local Tax which should take shape with the next Stability law and see the light from 2016 is still largely a mystery, but the Government has been clear about one thing: from next year the Tasi will be canceled on the first home. What will remain of the tax on indivisible services will flow together with the IMU into the new tax on housing, which however will not really be "unique", because in all likelihood both the Tari on waste (which is a tariff) and the minor municipal taxes such as Cosap, Tosap and Cimp.
But, wallet in hand, how much will Italian taxpayers save with the abolition of the Tasi on first homes? The figure varies according to the Municipalities, since each administration has its own system of rates and deductions. In any case, these are almost never negligible figures, given that - according to a simulation by the Uil Territorial Policy Service - the average savings among all municipalities Italians (25,7 million owners) is 180 euros and if we take into account only the provincial capitals the count rises to 230 €.
In particular, the city where the farewell to Tasi on the first house will be felt the most is Torino, where taxpayers will save an average of 403 euros. The silver and bronze medals go respectively to Roma and Siena, with 391 and 356 euros. The rest of the top ten is made up of Florence (346 euros), GenoVa (345) Bari (338) Bologna (331) Foggia (326) How to Live Aligned with (321) and Ancona (318). THE Milano instead they will save 300 euros, while at the bottom of the standings there is Asti, with just 19 euros.
However, this path is not said to be the best way to go. According to Luca Dondi, managing director of the study centre Nomisma, "there is no evidence that zeroing the tax on first homes is the preferable option from an economic and social point of view", also because "the stimulus for the market" from the cancellation of the tax would be "rather modest, quantifiable at around 0,11% over the first year. The main road to finally arrive at a more equitable system remains that of the revision of the tax bases, which would result from the reform of the Land Registry".
