TAX SETTLEMENT PROCEDURE (“ROTTAMAZIONE”)
Our firm assists its clients in drafting the request to settle overdue tax bills and submitting it to the Internal Revenue Service, following the client step by step until the approval of the request and the payment of the sum due.
Definition of “rottamazione” (literally: scrapping overdue tax bills) and terms of submission of the request:
as per art. 6 of Legislative Decree n. 193/2016, tax payers have the possibility of benefiting from a lighter regime with regard to the tax to be paid for the period from 2000 to 2016. The following categories of subjects can enjoy this benefit: natural persons, partnerships and companies.
Furthermore, another category which can benefit from the lighter regime is tax payers who are undergoing insolvency procedures or who renounced to continue ongoing fiscal disputes with the IRS or who are subject to over-indebtedness procedures.
Taxpayers may choose to pay the amount due in one single instalment or in a maximum of 5 instalments on the sole condition that 70% of the total amount is paid in a short term.
The request to reschedule the repayment of debts has to be submitted through the “DA module”; the applicant shall tick the corresponding box to choose the payment option, i.e. in one instalment or in up to 5 instalments.
Taxpayers who fail to pay even one instalment or whose payment is overdue will lose the benefit of the lighter regime and the process of collecting pending debts will be resumed.
As far as concerns the year 2019, the IRS has published new application forms to adhere to the “rottamazione” of tax bills. The deadline to submit these applications is April 30, 2019.
Through this procedure, taxpayers can split the payment of the amount due into 10 instalments to be paid over a 5 year period at an interest rate of 2%.
