Digitalization of services, bureaucratic simplifications and reduction of obligations: the Tax Office improves its relationship with taxpayers.
Excellent news is arriving for Italian citizens and taxpayers: theThe Revenue Agency is being renewed more and more and is adopting the new simplification and rationalization measures provided for by the legislative decree implementing the fiscal delegation.
The aim is to offer more and more digital services and at the same time a streamlined communication between taxpayers and the tax authorities. Here are the new features already in place.
Tax, improve services and communication, taxpayers will be happier and more satisfied
Legislative decree 8 January 2024, n. 11, containing “Rationalization and simplification of the rules regarding tax obligations” (Fulfillments decree), contains provisions that implement directive principles and criteria
dictated by law 9 August 2023, n. 111, containing “Delegation to the Government for tax reform”.
The new measures effectively make the Tax Office a more “friendly” tool for citizens and taxpayers, and are aimed at speeding up procedures and communications with the Revenue Agency. The result is a more efficient service and which does not take away time and/or resources from citizens who have to interact with the tax authorities.
We find numerous innovations in the implementing decree of the tax delegation, and among these we remember:
- the Revenue Agency will no longer send tax communications in the months of August and December: the aim is not to “stress” citizens during holidays and holidays, and communications will only be sent if urgent and cannot be postponed:
- more flexible times for paying the balance and first down payment installments of taxes: it goes to the 16th of each month, with time until December to complete the installment payment;
- simplified VAT payments: stop too many small payments, VAT numbers will be able to manage them more simply;
- simplification of VAT obligations;
- the services offered by PagoPa are expanding;
- strengthening digital services e incentives for the use of electronic tools.
With the circular no. 8/E of 11 April 2024 the Revenue Agency therefore illustrated and explained the measures
regarding tax returns. The circular provides operational instructions to ensure uniformity of action in relation to others simplification and rationalization measures envisaged by the Fulfillments decreewith particular regard to those connected to the payment of taxes, to mandatory communicationsto digital services, to electronic payment instruments and to the sending of communications and invitations by the Financial Administration.
All that remains therefore is to benefit from a more modern tax system in line with the needs of citizens and taxpayers.
