THE EAGLE. There isn’t much time left to get your car taxes in order. The Revenue Service of the Abruzzo Region announced yesterday that, from next July, the car tax assessment campaign for the 2022 tax year will begin. Abruzzo citizens who are not up to date with the payment of the car tax will receive from Revenue Agency – Collection the payment bills containing the tax claim including 30% penalties, interest and notification charges.
«To avoid this eventuality», the Region warns, «all those who are not yet up to date with the payment of the 2022 tax are invited to regularize their tax position as soon as possible and, in any case, no later than 30 June 2024. In compliance with this last payment deadline”, the communication to taxpayers continues, “the penalties charged for regularization will be reduced up to a maximum of 5% based on the delay accrued, in addition to the interest calculated at the time of payment”.
We remind you that, starting from 1 January 1999, the collection, assessment, recovery, reimbursements, application of sanctions and disputes relating to car taxes are delegated to the Regions.
