Italian tax evasion and regional fiscal disparities
Overview
Reports from the CGIA di Mestre highlight significant issues regarding tax evasion and regional variations in income tax (Irpef) payments in Italy.
Initial findings indicate a massive gap between Italy’s estimated annual tax evasion of 107 billion euros and the recovery efforts of local municipalities. In 2024, only 3.8% of approximately 7,900 municipalities submitted qualified reports to the Revenue Agency, resulting in a collective recovery of just 5 million euros. Regional data shows high levels of economic irregularity, particularly in Calabria, where the unobserved economy represents 19% of regional value added, and in Abruzzo and Molise, where irregularity rates exceed 11%.
Subsequent analysis of 2024 Irpef declarations reveals significant disparities in average tax payments across the country. While the national average payment is 5,788 euros per taxpayer, provinces such as Milan and Rome report much higher averages, at 9,066 euros and 7,536 euros respectively. Conversely, provinces like Biella report lower average payments, ranking 43rd nationally.
