Income tax in Italy
IRPEF 2026: 23% to €28,000; 33% (cut from 35% by the 2026 Budget Law) to €50,000; 43% above. The thresholds apply to income after INPS, not to the RAL. Employee INPS is 9.19% up to €56,224 and 10.19% above. A detrazione per lavoro dipendente — €1,910 plus €1,190 × (€28,000 − income)/€13,000 up to €28,000, then falling to zero at €50,000 — and the now-structural cuneo fiscale then cut the bill sharply below €40,000, which is why the effective rate is far lower than the headline brackets suggest. Regional addizionale (0.7–3.33%) and municipal addizionale (up to 0.9%) add on top.
| Band (up to, EUR) | Marginal rate |
|---|---|
| 28,000 | 23% |
| 50,000 | 33% |
| above | 43% |
Tax-free allowance: none. Standard VAT: 22%.
