- Italy’s Revenue Agency issued rules for automatically calculating VAT when annual VAT returns are omitted or incomplete.
- It may use electronic invoices, telematic receipts, periodic VAT filings, and VAT payments to determine the liability, but not prior-period VAT credits.
- Taxpayers are notified by certified email or registered mail and can respond or pay within 60 days.
- If payment is made within 60 days, penalties are reduced to one-third; if the assessment is updated, a new 60-day period starts.
- Unpaid VAT, penalties, and interest can be placed on the tax rolls for collection.
