Thirteenth, when it arrives and how much it is taxed

Thirteenth on the way. For pensioners who withdraw it at the post office, the operation will start as early as next Thursday, while for all retired people who receive it directly on their current account, payment is expected on 1 December. Finally, employees and private workers will receive the amount by Christmas. But how much is it taxed? The CGIA Studies Office has wasted no time and has already done the math, coming to the conclusion that it will be, in particular, the Treasury to celebrate. The thirteenth this year will affect 33.8 million Italians: 16 million retirees and 17.8 million employees. Overall, the beneficiaries will collect a gross amount of 45.7 billion euros. If from this amount we subtract the 11.8 billion in Irpef withholdings that will end up in the coffers by the tax authorities, 33.9 billion net will remain in the pockets of the Italians. Thanks to the Christmas bonus, of course, it is hoped that earners, shopkeepers and artisan shops will also celebrate. It is true that a large part of this monthly payment will be spent in December to pay the mortgage installment, the bills, the balance of the Imu / Tasi of the second home and the Tari (tax for the removal and disposal of waste ), but it is equally desirable that the remaining part be used to relaunch Christmas consumption. At a territorial level, the Region that the CGIA indicates as the one with the highest number of beneficiaries of the thirteenth month is Lombardy: between employees and retirees, the people affected will be just over 6 million. Followed by 3.25 million earners in Lazio and 2.95 million resident in Veneto.
