"We have about 800 tax laws, and therefore we need 800 explanations, implementation circulars, declinations, from here.
If you want a simple administration, Parliament will clean up 800 laws and make a few simple ones
". Thus
the director of the Inland Revenue Ernesto Maria Ruffini
in the Tax Registry Commission underlining that the tax reform is also an opportunity to "clean up the excessive standardization". Ruffini recalled that in 1954 the declarations (on paper) were submitted by March 31 "now with the pre-filled on line we arrive at the presentation in November".
"In 2020, about 3.8 million taxpayers sent the declaration directly using the procedure available on the Revenue Agency's website," said Ruffini. "From 10 May 2021 - he added - citizens will be able to view the pre-filled 730 form for 2020 incomes" enriched by a greater amount of pre-compiled data on deductible expenses, "such as expenses for school education, to which are added the charges and expenses already present in previous years ". "The pre-filled declaration - said Ruffini - shows an unquestionably positive trend in quantitative and qualitative terms: there has been a constant increase over the years in the declarations transmitted directly by the citizen without the intervention of intermediaries: from 1,4 million in 2015 to 3.8 million in 2020, equal to over 17% of the total of 730 received ".
"Starting from the operations carried out from 1 January 2022, the annual VAT return will also be made available to taxpayers", explained Ruffini. The subjects, or their intermediaries, "will have access to the drafts of the monthly VAT registers. If the drafts are complete (or after their integration to record all the operations carried out in the period), the taxpayer can validate the registers and with this operation will not be obliged to keep validated monthly VAT records, which will be stored by the Agency ", he added.
