Italy's 2027 budget bill changes how employees and self-employed workers are taxed, according to Il Messaggero. For employees, the main measure extends the 33% Irpef rate to incomes up to €55,000, a change the paper says is worth a maximum saving of €500 a year.
For partite Iva — the country's self-employed and freelance workers — the draft law raises the ceiling for the flat-rate regime from €85,000 to €100,000, Il Messaggero reports.
The reporting describes the package as reshaping the tax burden by income band, with the paper running simulations for both employee and self-employed groups. It does not, in the material available, set out the full band-by-band figures.
The bill is moving through parliament. ANSA reports that the government wants only minor changes as the Manovra reaches the Chamber, suggesting the core tax measures are likely to hold. Coverage of the same package has also focused on its broader shape: RaiNews reports that several bonuses under the 2027 Manovra are tied to an Isee below €35,000, while la Repubblica frames the budget's three-year outlook as one of higher fiscal pressure with limited attention to savings.
Taken together, the tax changes sit inside a wider budget that mixes relief for mid-to-upper earners with means-tested support for lower-income households.
What to watch next: whether the Chamber amends the €55,000 Irpef threshold or the €100,000 flat-tax ceiling before final approval.
