Italian judicial rulings on administrative silence

Overview

The Italian Court of Cassation has clarified the legal implications of administrative silence regarding tax refund requests. Under ruling n. 20406/2026, if a tax administration fails to respond to a valid refund or self-remedy application within 90 days, it is considered a ‘silenzio-rifiuto’ (tacit refusal).

Following this tacit refusal, taxpayers—including individuals and companies—possess the right to appeal to a tax judge. This right to appeal remains valid until the statute of limitations for the refund has expired. The court further specified that interlocutory communications from the administration do not necessarily prevent the formation of this tacit refusal.
