July 26, 2020 The incentive scheme for work included in the August decree has two fixed points: 6 months of 100% relief from contributions for new hires and 3-4 months of full decontribution for employees who are returned from the layoffs. The simulations are underway and, to decide the final formulation, we would be waiting for the report of some of the measures already in force, such as the Emergency Income or the Cig-Covid itself, to evaluate whether there are unused resources to be reused in these chapters .

Meanwhile, Deputy Minister Misiani announces that the government is evaluating a new postponement of the issue of tax collection documents until November. As for suspended taxes, half will be paid in 2020 and for the rest there will be time until 2022. "We aim to help taxpayers in a difficult economic phase, to allow those who had to pay the taxes of March, April in September and May that have been suspended, to have much more time to do it. Half by 2020, the other half in the following two years. We are also evaluating the further measure of postponement until November of the issuance of the tax collection documents ". The deputy minister for economics, Antonio Misiani, told Rainews24.

Thrill vote on the budget variance
Parliament will vote next Wednesday on the authorization for the new budget variance of € 25 billion, requested by Palazzo Chigi to continue financing the economic measures against the Covid emergency, most of which contained in the decree August. A vote that in the Senate, by regulation, requires an absolute majority and which could create some difficulties for the government.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, out of eight trusts voted at Palazzo Madama (for which the majority of those present is sufficient), none has reached 161. Numbers far from the 169 votes collected by the Count bis at his inauguration: within ten months that figure has decreased, bringing to 154 the firmly organic senators to the majority formed by M5s, Pd, Iv, and Leu. To these, if necessary, the six senators for life and some members of the autonomies can be added from time to time, able to trace the bar to the absolute majority. But the fragility of the numbers is a fact and the opposition can take advantage of it, as recently demonstrated by the incident on the Elections decree, for which a double vote was needed after the full absence of a legal number.

Twelve senators are also members of the government (three ministers plus nine among undersecretaries and deputy ministers) and are not always able to preside over the Chamber. Since his, however, the government has achieved success in Brussels with the go-ahead for the Recovery Fund which has compacted the majority and lessened the pressure of the center-right on the early vote. Thus Palazzo Chigi accelerated on the request for budget deviation and the related summer maneuver, to be finalized within the first week of August.

From January to June there were 26 changes of jacket (116 the total since the beginning of the legislature), many of which concerned the M5s. In the Senate alone, the pentastellato lost a total of thirteen exponents, between expelled and escaped, reducing the majority below the absolute threshold.
