The September salary has brought a slight relief to most workers: at stake is the application of the new IRS source retention tables, which guarantee an increase in available income as early as 2025. The government ensures that although in October the effect of retroactives disappears, taxpayers will continue to feel some displeasure in the face of what was in force.
In practice, the impact was most evident in August and September, since the amounts paid in these months also reflected the return related to the first months of the year.
From October, this effect disappears, but retention rates remain lower, which means a slight reinforcement in monthly net income.
According to the Ministry of Finance, cited by News to the Minute, the change results from a progressive revision of the rates applied to the different echelons.
New tables in force
The first echelon has a rate of 12.5%, when before it was fixed by 13%. The second descends from 16.5% to 16%, the third from 22% to 21.5% and the quarter from 25% to 24.4%. Already the fifth level descends from 32% to 31.4%, the sixth goes from 35.5% to 34.9% and the seventh descends from 43.5% to 43.1%. In the eighth level, the rate retreats from 45% to 44.6%.
The last echelon, which applies to the highest income, remains unchanged at 48%. Still, according to News to Minuto, all taxpayers end up benefiting, as reducing rates at the lower levels has an impact on the global tax calculation due.
How much saves
Government simulations help you realize the difference. A couple with two children, in which both elements earn 1,500 euros gross monthly, will have a reduction of 165 euros in the annual IRS compared to the state budget to 2025. A couple without dependents will have a displeasure that ranges from 67 euros, for salaries of 1,000 euros, and 414 euros, for salaries of 3,000 euros.
In the case of single -dependent single contributors, savings range from 34 euros for yields of 1,000 euros a month, and 207 euros for 3,000 euros salaries. A pensioner with pension up to 1,000 euros will see IRS download 34 euros a year.
This value rises to 83 euros in pensions of 1,500 euros, to 124 euros in pensions of 2,000 euros, 166 euros in renovations of 2,500 euros and 208 euros in 3,000 euros, according to data released by the Ministry of Finance.
Other simulations
Also the consultant PWC has made its own accounts and concluded that a single worker, without children and with salary of 1,000 euros, will pay 34 euros annually in IRS than with the current tables.
According to, this descent has comprehensive effect, as it covers virtually all taxpayers subject to retention at the source.
The tax descent was assumed by the government as a way to return income to families and to compensate for part of the effect of inflation. Still, experts stress that savings will always depend on the composition of the household and the concrete situation of each taxpayer.
