Italy’s Cabinet re-examined the draft law decree at its meeting on September 19. As per the decree individual income tax returns will be pre-compiled for 30m Italian employees and pensioners from 2015.

Tax forms pre-compiled by the Revenue Agency of 2015 will be available for the taxpayers. The Agency will utilize the information that is already available to it from its tax database (for example, previous year declarations and payments made), information provided by third parties (such as banks, insurance companies, and pension funds), and the forms completed by employers containing the details of employees’ wages and salaries. Beginning with tax forms produced in 2016, pre-compiled tax returns will also contain details of the purchases of medicine and other health services, which will be provided by the public health billing system.
