These are the personal income tax rates that apply after 1 January 2024. For applicable rates before that date please click this link.
The rates were changed by Legislative Decree no. 216/2023 published in the Official Gazette no 303 of 30 December 2023.
The Decree states that they applicable for FY 2024 only and therefore not guaranteed to remain applicable after that date.
As regards the rates for FY 2025 the Italian government is considering reducing the second 35% rate from 33% and raising the lower bracket for the higher 43% rate to Euro 60,000
At present the legislation needs to be approved by the Italian Parliament (likely before the end of the year) so should not be considered final until later this year.
The rates of regional and municipal income tax may also be subject to further modification by subsequent legislation before the publication of standard model tax returns for FY 2025 on FY 2024 income (spring 2025).

Imposta Sostitutiva/Substitute Tax
The rates shown above apply only to income which is not subject to imposta sostititva (“substitute tax”) which applies in place of the main national income, regional and municipal tax shown above.
