Yesterday in the Commission, today in the Senate, tomorrow in the Chamber. And from Monday we will start paying. The financial package has reached its final stage and just over 24 hours after the final go-ahead, the text is finally clear. Last minute changes are few, but their specific weight is of absolute importance. The interventions arrived in the Cesarini area have brought important news in terms of health, social security, taxation and local authorities. According to the majority speaker, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin (PDL), the balances thus improved by two billion in 2011, five billion in 2012, 6 billion in 2013 and even 22 billion in 2014.
Let's see in detail what it is:
PENSIONS: THE RICHEST HIT
Good news for the lowest pensions, i.e. those between three and five times the INPS minimum (1.428 - 2.341 euros): in the two-year period 2012-2013, their revaluation will drop from 90 to 70%, no longer to 45%, as provided for in the initial text of the manoeuvre. Checks over €2.341, on the other hand, will no longer have any revaluation.
From August 31, a real sting will hit the so-called golden pensions, which will have to pay a "solidarity contribution" until December 2014, 90. For treatments that exceed 5 thousand euros per year, the contribution will be 150% on the excess. Above 10 euros a year, a new bracket is triggered and the contribution rises to XNUMX%, always calculated on the portion that exceeds the threshold.
As for linking pensions to life expectancy, the measure was brought forward from 2014 to 2013. It is estimated that from 2016 to 2030 the limit will further increase by four months every three years. Thereafter, and until about 2050, the triennial adjustments should revert to three months. Eventually the increase will be approximately three years and 10 months.
HEALTHCARE: THE TICKET IS BACK FROM MONDAY
In three days we will start paying the health ticket again: 10 euros on specialist and diagnostics and 25 euros on emergency room white codes. The immediate reintroduction of the heavy tax, which was previously scheduled for January 2012, 480, will allow the State to save XNUMX million euros.
MORE PROGRESSIVE STAMP ON THE SECURITIES ACCOUNT
Anyone with a file of less than 50 euros will continue to pay 34 euros. For securities accounts up to 150 million euros, the stamp duty will instead go to 70 euros; 240 euros for those up to 500 thousand euros and 680 euros for even higher accounts. For the latter, from 2013 the stamp duty will reach up to 1.100 euros per year.
CAP 1% DEDUCTIBILITY DEPRECIATION FOR DEALERSHIP
The rule that provides for a ceiling of 1% for the deductibility of the depreciation of the concessionaires of public goods remains in the text of the manoeuvre. Only motorway concessions are excluded from the measure.
INCREASES THE TAXABLE ON STOCK OPTIONS
A surcharge of 10% is applied to stock options.
STABILITY PACT: PRIVATIZATIONS START AGAIN
The Stability Pact will take the form of two rules: both upwards (large public groups) and downwards, with incentives for Municipalities to divest their shares in municipal companies.
CUTS IN TAX BONUSES
A linear cut of 5% for 2013 and 20% starting from 2014 is foreseen for all 483 tax breaks, including that for families. Also affected are households with dependent children, as well as education, medical and nursery school expenses.
