ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi won a confidence vote to get his tax-cutting 2015 budget through the Senate on Saturday and it is expected to be definitively approved by the lower house of parliament next week.
In a session that ended shortly before dawn, the Senate voted 162-37 to pass a financial package that includes tax cuts for low earners worth almost 10 billion euros (8 billion pounds), and a reduction in labour taxes for businesses.
