what changes in 2020 for employees

There are three billions allocated in 2020 for the reduction of the tax wedge for the benefit of employees. The measure will be included in a decree connected to the maneuver, but nothing has been decided about the audience of beneficiaries. In the d.d.l. sent to Parliament no reference is made to amounts and income brackets. The only certainty is that with 3 billion committed in the first year and 5 in the second, miracles will not be possible.

Also because the intention of the government of extend the bonus also to income between 26,600 and 35 thousand euros, or to that audience of workers today do not receive Renzi's 80 euros.

Payroll bonus: will it be higher for those who earn more?

According to the latest rumors, the "richest" workers could earn the most. In recent days the Courier, for example, wrote that "those who already take 80 euros could receive on average twenty euros more, the others (ie those who earn more than 26,600 euros, ed) a similar bonus to the Renzi, decreasing with the rise of income ". The rationale for the measure therefore seems to be to favor those who do not receive the 80 euro bonus, with due regard to the criterion of fiscal progressiveness.

Only hypotheses for now. It is a fact, however, that the government has not yet discovered the cards on the tax wedge. Apart from the financial allocation in the d.d.l deposited in Parliament there are no numbers. So today we do not know which workers will be 'rewarded' and which will not. These are not details, but political choices. Choices that for now the executive is careful not to do.

Close up on meal vouchers

However, the tightening of meal vouchers seems to be confirmed. From 2020 the taxable limit of 5.29 euros should fall to 4 euros, while the exemption for electronic vouchers will be increased from 7 to 8 euros. As he explains Daily fact, "today, those who receive 20 paper tickets in a month can be recognized as a" bonus "of just over 100 euros (5.29 per 20) that is deducted from withholding taxes. at 80 euros ". Therefore the employees will lose out. And besides, from this measure the government expects revenue of 51 million euros in 2020.

Incoming increase for public employees

Another chapter concerns the tax on company cars that Renzi would like to cancel. The tax could be postponed or watered down, but to have a confirmation it will be necessary to wait for the next few weeks. In short, for employees there are more shadows than lights. The only ones to rejoice are the ones around 3 million public employees because the renewal of the collective agreement is on the way and at the end each public worker on average will have an extra 96 ​​euros in payroll.
