Italians search for meaning of 'fiscal drag' as inflation returns
Original: fiscal drag cos'è
Italian media are explaining 'fiscal drag', the phenomenon whereby inflation pushes workers and pensioners into higher tax brackets or higher taxes without any change in the law. Outlets such as Il Foglio and Sky TG24 describe it as an 'invisible tax' that erodes salaries and pensions, and note it may again weigh on household finances as inflation picks up, without even funding measures like the abolition of the car tax stamp.
Why now: Renewed inflation is raising concern that bracket creep will silently reduce Italians' real incomes.
