One of Italy's big three trade
union confederations, CISL, said in a study on Monday that the
benefits of Premier Matteo Renzi's 80-euro-a-month tax bonus for
low earners were being offset by other tax hikes.
Indeed, CISL said the tax burden on Italian households
rose from 30.8% in 2010 to 31.1% in 2014, largely because of
increases in local taxes.
It said in the report that the government's 80-euro bonus
"has been compensated by increases in other taxes".
