This is a subject which I haven't touched
on for some time. What are the penalties for undeclared, and
subsequently discovered, assets for residents of Italy?
The penalties for non declaration range
between 3% and 15% of the value of the asset, plus any fines for late
payment. The percentage is determined by the investigating tax officers
depending on the gravity of the misdemeanour.
If you have undeclared money in tax
privileged regimes or countries where there is not an adequate exchange of
fiscal information then the sanctions are doubled: 6% - 30%, plus fines for
non declaration.
This is relevant given the
automatic exchange of financial information which is now in force under the
OECD Common Reporting Standard.
I know that a number of you have been
receiving letters from non ItalIan banks asking you to quote your Tax
Identification Numbers (TIN) for reporting purposes. This is your
Codice Fiscale for ItalIan residents. By completing this letter it
allows the foreign financial entity to report your information,
automatically, to the Italian authorities.
