L‘Italy. is distributed, quite clearly, onArpifwith the 15% of taxpayers who pays, alone, 63.4% tax. It is a matter of taxpayers who declare at least in our country 35 thousand euros (15.27% of the total), while those with or declared income of less than 15 thousand euros (40.35% of the total) contribute to Irpef in the amount of 1.29% of the total. These data were processed and commented on in the Social Security Travel Report on Public Expenditures and Tax Returns for 2022. Study and Research Centre Presided over Alberto Brambella And presented in the House on 29 October 2024.
Who pays more and receives less in Italy.
clear Imbalance The report presents an extraordinary problem for the entire Italian tax system, given that, as the text states, ” 75.80% of taxpayers declares revenues from zero to 29 thousand euros, which corresponds to only 24.43% of the entire Irpef, this tax is not even enough to cover health care costs.” And then: “which Also earns, come on 55 million euros The upside (about 5% of the total) alone accounts for about 42% of tax revenue and He gets nothing in return. Out of a population of 59,030,133 resident citizens, 42,026,960 filed tax returns in 2023. Just over half of Italians paid at least one euro of Irpef.”
The described image will also deteriorate with the new maneuver, accordingly Stefano CasellaPresident of Cida and supporter of the research, “The reduction in maximum deductions starts at 75 thousand euros which actually represents a tax increase for those who contribute more. A worrying message is thus conveyed: That in Italy it is not profitable to excel, to produce or to innovate, but to avoid and hide.”
Those who benefit without paying taxes.
As indicated by the Social Security Travel Observatory, nearly all Direct tax86.33% equal to about 278 billion, essentially with the current system benefit The former Three income brackets Within 20 thousand euros (about 53.19% of Italians) and partly for those who declare between 20 and 29 thousand euros (22.61% of citizens). It goes without saying that those who pay the highest taxes, i.e. the highest income groups, do not benefit from the services they have financed themselves.
If you see it alone Health costswhose income is up to 15 thousand euros enjoy the difference between the payment of Irpef and the cost of healthcare equal to 50 billion. If the income of 15 to 20 thousand euros is included, this value reaches 57.8 billion.
“The constant transfer of wealth, in the form of free services that is not even known to this huge audience of beneficiaries – said Alberto Brambella, president of the Study and Research Center – also because of repeated promises. Donations by the Politicswhich is balanced by the constant risk of eliminating tax expenditures for the highest revenues”. The latter in particular, according to Brambella, “discount the Italian language. Contradiction According to which the more taxes you pay, the less services you receive (and vice versa)”. Currently, then, the entire Italian welfare system rests on the shoulders of 6 million taxpayers.
