Days go by and the most fearsome tax deadline of the year approaches. By 17 December over 25 million Italians will have to pay the last 2012 installment of the IMU, the most hated of the new taxes introduced by Mario Monti's team. The balance will have a greater weight than the advance for June, because (in addition to the revaluation of 60% of the cadastral income) it will be paid with the new rates established by the Municipalities, which in almost all cases are higher than the standard ones set by the Government for the first installment.
The sting will come especially on second homes, on which local administrators have pushed their hand more decisively. More expensive bill in the big cities. Finally, remember that the balance is paid as an adjustment: this means that, in order to understand how much you have to pay, you need to calculate the first and second installments with the new rates and subtract the sum disbursed six months ago from the total. According to the first simulations, the total revenue from the Imu should reach 23 billion.
Now let's see where and how the last installment of the municipal property tax is paid:
