29.11.2013 - Tax exemptions for employees

Tax exemptions for employees are the kind of tax benefits that reduce the IRPEF tax presented on the pay slip.

Those exemptions are calculated on the basis of the total revenue and the number of days worked.

In order to determine the level of exemption we are entitled to, it is necessary to multiply the taxable income (base salary minimo tabellare + cost-of-living allowance contingenza + long service bonus scatti di anzianità + 'superminimo' bonuses superminimo – INPS contributions) by the amount of monthly salaries, so that the total revenue is established. On the basis of that result, the following formula are applied:

If the total revenue exceeds 23,000 € but is less than 28,000 € the tax exemptions for employees presented above increase by the following:

from 23.000 up to 24.000 euro: 10 €

from 24.001 up to 25.000 euro: 20 €

from 25.001 up to 26.000 euro: 30 €

from 26.001 up to 27.700 euro: 40 €

from 27.701 up to 28.000 euro: 25 €

EXAMPLE

Base salary: 1383,19 €

+

Long service bonus: 15,68 €

=

GROSS AMOUNT: 1398,87 €

-

INPS CONTRIBUTIONS (9,19%): 128,56 €

=

TAXABLE INCOME: 1270,31 €

*

the number of days worked: 14

=

TOTAL REVENUE: 17784,34 €

LET’S NOW APPLY THE FORMULA PRESENTED IN THE CHART:

1338 * (55000 – 17784,34) / 40000 = 1244,86 €

The amount of 1244,86 € is then the annual tax exemption we are entitled to

Subsequently, the result of this calculation is distributed proportionally to the time worked in the year and divided per month, lowering the amount of the tax on the pay slip.
