The Bilateral Entity of Treviso has set up a fund to support families with school-age children in the region, specifically to assist with the purchase of textbooks and public transportation subscriptions. This initiative comes in response to findings that suggest the return to school can present a significant financial burden on families, with total expenses potentially exceeding €1,300. A significant portion of this amount is typically spent on textbooks, which could cost around €715.
In light of this, the Bilateral Entity of Treviso is offering a contribution of up to €150 per child (€200 for the third child) for these specific expenses. This assistance targets the 6,000 members of the Entity employed in the commerce, services, and tourism sectors. Applications for this support measure should be submitted by October 31, 2025.
Moreover, in an effort to alleviate these costs, there are plans to introduce a 19% deductibility on book-related expenses, applicable to at least an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Status Indicator) of €40,000. This would effectively reduce the financial strain of purchasing textbooks for families in Treviso.
In summary, this initiative by the Bililateral Entity of Treviso aims to provide financial relief for families with school-aged children, by subsidizing textbook and public transport costs. This is an active response to the identified strain that school expenses place on families, particularly for those employed in the commerce, services, and tourism sectors. The deadline for applications is set for October 31, 2025.
