Finance law 2026: new tax measures
Updated March 29, 2026 - A finance law is rarely read in one line. Between the measures actually applicable, the suspended provisions and the still active debates on certain levies, the correct reading consists of isolating what already produces a practical effect for companies, managers and individuals.
1. VAT: suspension counts as much as reform
The suspension until the end of 2026 of the generalized lowering of VAT-based franchise thresholds is, in practice, one of the most important pieces of information for many small structures.
2. Capital taxation: an area still to be monitored
The debates on the flat tax have been intense. As of March 29, 2026, caution remains necessary to distinguish what is subject to parliamentary debate and what is actually integrated homogeneously into official tax tools.
3. Innovation and tax credits
Innovative companies must continue to monitor the effects of the adjustments made to the CIR in the doctrine updated after the 2025 finance law, because their practical effects extend fully into 2026.
4. Timing and Compliance
The finance law has consequences, but their real impact often depends on the calendar: VAT, IS balance, tax return, documentation and arbitrations before closing.
