Italy fiscal reform and tax collection activities

Overview

Italy is navigating fiscal changes following the Meloni government’s tax reform, which introduced new consolidated texts on income tax and assessment measures via Decree Law n. 38 of 2026. While intended to simplify the system and support the middle class, the reform has faced criticism regarding the disparity in how tax advantages are distributed between employees or pensioners and other groups.

Data from the Department of Finance indicates difficulties in tax recovery, with the Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione taking an average of 5.1 years to collect tax bills. Following a summer hiatus, the Italian Revenue Agency has resumed automated formal controls, fiscal communications, and collection activities. This resumption includes the issuance of compliance letters and notifications of irregularities, as well as the conclusion of the temporary suspension of tax litigation related to payment notices.
