The Senate Chamber has given the go-ahead for the confidence placed by the Government on the maxi-amendment that replaces the Stability Law. There were 171 votes in favour, 135 against. Forza Italia voted against, formalizing farewell to the majority. This morning the bill was approved with 162 votes in favor and 115 votes against.
The interventions included in the maxi-amendment which rewrites the Stability law implement the measures announced yesterday by the Executive and by the rapporteurs. Some important measures remain out, such as the indexation of pensions, on which there is a commitment to intervene in the Chamber.
Here is a summary of the changes contained in the maxi-amendment:
HOUSE TAXES
Arrives the Iuc, the new single municipal tax, which for the patrimonial part will not concern the first house, and which will contain the tax on services and that on waste for everyone, including main residences. The maximum rate will be 10,6 per thousand. Approximately 500 million will be assigned to the Municipalities for the introduction of deductions on the family burden.
TAX WEDGE
The Senate has restricted the number of beneficiaries to incomes below 35 thousand euros (the Government had set the bar at 55 thousand euros) and has concentrated it on the lowest, favoring in particular those between 15 thousand and 18 thousand euros, who will receive one discount of 225 euros per year.
GOLD PENSIONS PAY CARD PURCHASES
The solidarity contribution payable by the golden pensions is growing, starting from treatments over 90 thousand euros per year. From 2014 January 6, for a period of three years, the solidarity contribution on these checks will be equal to 90% of the part exceeding 128 thousand euros, while on those over 12 thousand euros it will be equal to 193% and on those over 18 thousand euros at XNUMX%. The resources thus obtained will be used for the shopping card, but also for forms of inclusion of the poor, the first step towards the introduction of a minimum income.
CLOSE ON THE BUDGET OF THE MUNICIPALIZED COMPANY
The obligation to divest subsidiaries has been skipped (envisaged since 2010 and postponed up to now), while a tightening of local entities with subsidiaries in the red is coming: the Municipality, in the face of losses for the company or the investee entity, must carry out a balance sheet provision of the same amount, which will be made available again only after an effective write-off of the losses.
IMU BENI IMPRESE DEDUCTIBLE AT 30% IN 2013
The discount will instead drop to 20% in the following two years.
GUARANTEE SYSTEM FOR SMEs
The powers of intervention of the CDP have been extended in favor of SMEs to support the economy, also with the guarantee of the State. A "national guarantee system" is born which is divided into three directions: a guarantee fund for SMEs, a section of this fund dedicated to research and innovation and a fund for first home mortgages for families.
EQUITALIA DOCUMENTS, NO DEFAULT INTEREST PAID
The maxi-amendment includes the scrapping of tax bills. Taxes and penalties will be paid at 100%, but interest will be zeroed.
ISLAND OF BUDELLI
The State will have the right to report on the purchase of the Island. Allocated the necessary 3 million euros.
STANDARD COSTS
They will be applied from 2015, one year ahead of schedule.
ONE YEAR MORE FOR REVALUATION OF COMPANY-LAND ASSETS
The terms for the revaluation of company assets and building land have been postponed to 1 January 2014. The sworn appraisal must be carried out on 30 June 2014.
ELECTION DAY UNTIL 23pm
From 2014 there will be election day and the voting operations will take place in a single day, from 7 to 23. The maneuver already provided for election day but the change lengthens the opening of the polling stations by an hour.
ROAD TRANSPORT
The allocated resources amount to over 300 million euros.
EMERGENCY RESOURCES IN SARDINIA
Approximately 103 million euros are arriving for the safety and restoration of the Sardinian territory after the flood.
RESOURCES FOR NATURAL DISASTERES FROM CUT FUNDS PARTIES
The cut that two years ago curtailed party funds will go to finance the natural disaster fund.
STOP NEW STADIUMS, THE OLD ONES ARE MODERNIZED
The guarantee fund at the sports credit institution is integrated for the modernization of existing sports facilities and not for financing the construction of new ones.
