180 euro per year. This will be the average savings for 25,7 million homeowners if Prime Minister Matteo Renzi keeps his promise to eliminate Tasi starting from 2016.
The aim, according to what the Premier declared last Saturday at a press conference, is to help both the middle class and the building sector with a single move, eliminating the tax on first homes which for two years now seems to have officially become the tax most hated by Italians.
Each owner would pay an average of 15 euros less per month (180 euros per year as mentioned above). But the figure still rises in the provincial capital cities, where around 203 euros would be saved per month, up to the peaks of Turin (savings of 403 euros per month) and Rome (391 euros).
These are the figures reported by the territorial policies service of the UIL which, in addition to calculating the cities in which the owners would save the most, also reports those that would benefit least from the cut: Asti (19 euros), Ascoli Piceno (46 euros) and Crotone (51 euros).
To confirm the estimates reported by the union are the figures elaborated by Nomisma, according to which each family would save on average 17 euros per month. According to calculations by the Bologna-based company, the tax reform promised by Renzi would guarantee relief corresponding to just over a fifth of the 80 euro bonus for employees and similar workers who earn up to 26 thousand euros.
However, Nomisma denounces that the cancellation of the Tasi, due to the inequalities of the tax bases, would meet not only the needs of low-income families, but "paradoxically also households with not at all modest disposable income and propensities to spend with respect to changes in income smaller than less well-off families".
