The Italian Revenue Agency is attaching great importance to its examination of taxpayers in certain areas under a newly devised risk-based system. The risk-based approach is designed to take into account the area of the country where the taxpayer lives and the risk of tax evasion in that area. Under this approach, more than 11 million Italians are estimated to live in provinces with a high compliance risk, and more than 9 million are living in areas classified as medium to high risk. This system is based on economic, financial and social data for the whole country and structured into the geographical picture. To this data is added some internal estimates gleaned from the Italian Revenue Agency’s own resources.
