The Superbonus in 2023 will no longer be 110% but 90%, as envisaged by the Meloni government.

The reformulation of condominium expenses for next year has been included in the Aiuti Quater decree. For those who own a villa, however, the condition is that it is the first home and that the owner’s income does not exceed the threshold of 15,000 euros.

What is the family quotient

The threshold results from a calculation also based on the family quotient, that is to say, explains the Corriere citing an interview with Alessandro Santoro (professor at Bicocca and former adviser to the MEF), “a system of taxation of citizens taking into account family responsibilities and therefore children”.

Super bonus 90%: how the family ratio is calculated

In practice, the sum disbursed is calculated, in the case of the first houses, on the basis of the sum of the income of the previous year, of all the members of the family. This sum is divided by 1 if there is only one applicant. The coefficient rises to another 1 if there is a cohabitant. A dependent family member adds 0.5. Two family members add 1, three or more family members add 2.

While at equal income, the ISEE partially considers assets, the family quotient only considers total income. Santoro has always explained to Corriere that this system “has drawbacks. Two in particular: it mainly rewards the rich with high incomes, and it also discourages women’s work.

The disadvantages

With the family quotient, in practice, the two incomes are averaged and taxed at the same rate. Therefore, if the husband has a higher income, he has a lower tax rate than if he were single, while the wife who works part-time would have a higher tax rate.
