From Thursday 31 March the big fiscal brother officially begins, i.e. the register of financial relationships established with the Salva Italia decree in 2011. By this date, banks, post offices and other financial operators will have to communicate a series of data on their customers relating to 2015. The list of information includes current account balances at the beginning and end of the year, average deposits and movements, deposits and investments, data on the use of credit cards and ATMs. Even the number of accesses to safety deposit boxes.
The tax authorities will use this data to cross-reference them with data on declared income to verify unclear positions. The anti-evasion cyber-operation thus becomes fully operational with the aim of recovering resources stolen from the State and beating the historical record of 14,9 billion reached last year.
The 2015 Stability Law deleted the reference to the "selective lists" of suspect taxpayers which should have arisen from the crossing of financial data with income and opted for a more generic reference to "evasion risk analyses".
This formulation, underlined in Parliament the guarantor for privacy, Antonello Soro, "in fact prevents a generalized and widespread control of all taxpayers". Soro also asked for a series of guarantees on the "totally automated" transmission of data to avoid improper access and that the data be canceled after six years, the maximum term for any investigations.
