Omitted or wrong VAT returns: how to pay cheaper fines

The Revenue Agency has sent 65 communications to taxpayers who have not yet presented the VAT return for 2014 or have not completed it correctly, giving them the opportunity to comply on their own and pay reduced penalties: here's how to do it

Warn today so as not to check tomorrow. L'Inland Revenue wrote to taxpayers who have not yet filed the VAT return for 2014 or they have not compiled it correctly. In the 65 communications sent (some via certified email, others via ordinary mail), the tax authorities explain how to exploit the active repentance: essentially, taxpayers are given the opportunity to check their position and eventually comply on their own, paying reduced penalties and avoiding assessment procedures by the Agency. 

WHAT TO DO TO GET IN RULE 

"Taxpayers who have not yet presented the VAT return relating to the 2014 tax period - writes the Revenue Agency - can regularize their position by submitting the declaration within 90 days starting from 30 September 2015 and paying the fines at a reduced rate. On the other hand, those who presented the 2014 VAT return by completing only part VA can already regularize any errors they may have made and thus benefit from reduced sanctions based on the time elapsed, thanks to the institute of industrious repentance”.

HOW TO CONTACT THE AGENCY TO GIVE CLARIFICATIONS 

The taxman also specifies that, if the taxpayer has correctly made all the declarations, he can communicate it to the Revenue Agency by calling one of the following toll numbers:

- 848.800.444 from a landline (local time rate); 

- 06.96668907 from a mobile phone (cost based on the operator's rate plan). 

It is possible to call from Monday to Friday from 9 to 17 and it is necessary to select the option services with operator > communication from the Central Assessment Department.
