From next year, Italians will no longer pay neither the Tasi nor the Imu on the first house (the second is paid today only on luxury homes). For the moment, this is the only certainty among the fiscal measures arriving with the new Stability Law. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan have reiterated several times that the Government intends to go to the end on this point, despite the cross-criticisms received in recent days (for example from EU technicians, Confindustria, Assonime and from the Nomisma research center).
The most widespread objections are two: first, the farewell to the IMU and the Tasi on the first house, from the point of view of GDP and employment, it will have modest effects, much lower than what could be achieved with a cut in corporate or labor taxes; second, the reduction of taxes on the house it is not socially fair, because it ensures much greater savings to the richest sections of the population.
To these criticisms, Renzi he answered from the stage of the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, emphasizing that “removing taxes on the house is a psychological priority, because they are the taxes most hated by Italians and for this reason they take precedence over personal income tax”. There is also a roofing problem: acting on real estate taxes costs less and – for this year – Italy no longer has the margin to increase the deficit.
In any case, "it is not only the house tax that is attacked, in the past and in this Stability law - he recalled Padoan from Cernobbio –. I won't tell you more, but it cannot be said that in this stability law we will only cut taxes on the house. We are thinking, within the limits available, of extending further tax reductions in favor of competitiveness in enterprises".
Returning to the house, according to the calculations of the Cgia of Mestre, the tax cut will concern 19 million families, which they will save on average 204 euros per year. For those who live in modest homes, those classified in the cadastral category A3, the lowest cost will be just 120 euros. Those who own villas or stately buildings will avoid shelling out 1.830 euros a year, a figure that rises to 2.280 for those lucky enough to own a castle.
The figure also varies according to the Municipalities, since each administration has its own system of rates and deductions. In any case, according to a simulation by the Uil territorial policy service, the average savings among all Italian municipalities (25,7 million owners) will be 180 euros and if we only take into consideration the provincial capitals, the bill rises to 230 euros. .
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. They are placed in second and third place respectively 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 they will save 300 euros, while at the bottom of the standings there is Asti, with just 19 euros.
