The next 13th for over 40 billion. “But rent and bills are burdening families.”

Milan Thirty-five million Italians are preparing to receive more than 40 billion euros from the two-thirds. But December’s extra check will largely be diverted to dealing with ongoing expenses: rising bills, and a now-flaring mortgage payment. There are several inflation items that have become priorities in the Italians’ budget.

The CGIA in Mestre does some calculations. According to the Research Office of the Craftsmen’s Association, of the 40.7 billion euros to be collected (which generates revenues for Irpef of more than 13 billion, at a cost to companies of 53.9 billion without counting contributions) the part allocated to Christmas gifts should remain constant compared to 2022: we are talking about 7-7.5 billion euros. “But the amount has halved compared to what it was 15 years ago. How so? Firstly, because many Italians, taking advantage of Black Friday, are increasingly bringing forward the purchase of gifts to put under the tree until November. Secondly, because families have reduced in the years The latter budget allocated to “accessory” expenses, which led to a decline in the tendency to give gifts during the Christmas period.

Aside from the experience of intentions, it remains that the “volume” of the 13th increased by 7 billion compared to last year. The cost of additional bonuses is generally rising in the system, partly because the number of workers employed has increased (400,000 units) and partly because renewals of some employment contracts have increased total salaries.

Finally, the impact on thirteen of the tax cut for those earning less than €35,000 is limited, which next year’s budget also confirmed. In the thirteenth month it is felt but by only 2 percentage points, provided that the thirteenth monthly payment does not exceed €2,692, rising to 3 percentage points if the additional monthly payment is less than €1,923.

CGIA also offers a regional breakdown of where 13th graders will live: Milan It dominates because among employees and retirees, the number of people affected will be 2.91 million. Followed by approximately 2.64 million recipients located in RomeA., 1.38 million people Turin And 1.35 million attendees Naples. The least affected areas, also because they are demographically smaller than the other areas, are about 72,500 residents in Vibo Valentia, about 70 thousand living in Enna and 42,800 living in Isernia.
