- The Italian Revenue Agency has adjusted its position on proportional sanctions for failure to declare VAT.
- This adjustment is in response to a ruling by the Constitutional Court.
- The agency now states that the same rules apply to income taxes and VAT.
- If a taxpayer fails to declare VAT but still pays the taxes, they will be subject to proportional sanctions.
- The sanctions range from 60% to 120% of the amount owed, with a minimum of 200 euros if the declaration is submitted before the deadline for the next tax period.
- If the declaration is submitted after the deadline, the sanctions range from 120% to 240% of the amount owed, with a minimum of 250 euros.
- The conduct of the taxpayer may be taken into account by the tax offices.
