Italy’s 2027 budget includes targeted benefits for families, workers and older people
Italy’s 2027 budget sets out targeted bonuses and tax breaks for older people, families, workers and homeowners.
Many measures are funded for 2027 only, so they offer short-term help rather than a lasting benefit.
Pensioners over 75 can receive €300 a year for health costs in 2027, while the income threshold for a benefit for older people who need care rises to €12,000.
Some workers, including unemployed people, caregivers and those in demanding jobs, can keep access to early retirement at 63 years and six months through the end of 2027.
Parents and workers also get measures such as monthly support for some mothers, a babysitter voucher for self-employed parents, and tax relief on some wage increases for workers under 30.
Home renovation tax deductions remain at 50% for primary homes and 36% for other properties in 2027, while appliance and furniture incentives also continue.
The package includes hiring incentives for companies through the end of 2027, with higher support for some young hires and mothers.

What people are saying
A bonus for every need.
contributions, tax relief and vouchers often funded for just one year, but intended to show attention and provide an immediate response — albeit a partial one — to problems.
