Important Note:

This program was developed with the goal of simplifying and improving the process of calculating tax compliance, but it is essential to consult a tax professional or legal advisor to ensure full compliance with local laws and regulations. The program is a support resource, but is not a substitute for professional advice.

The correct determination of voluntary repentance is crucial for prudent and compliant financial management. We hope that this tool will be of great help to you in managing your tax and social security matters.

Calculating industrious repentance

Have you ever failed to pay taxes on time?

The question that arises is: "And now what do I do"?

Desperately we open the Revenue Agency website to find a solution and that's when the brain goes haywire.

If you pay with x delay, you must increase the penalty by a certain amount, if you pay with a y delay, the penalty varies by two totals, however if you make use of the industrious repentance, then you must pay either 1/3 or 1/10 or 1 /9 etc. (and they are still not satisfied).

It's not enough to be sanctioned sometimes just for a trivial oversight, they must also abuse you psychologically. But wouldn't it be enough to create a little program with which the user, by inserting the few data that are needed (there are four), can easily find what is due to pay? He inserts it in the F24 Model and the game is done.

On the website of the Revenue Agency there is an application program for calculating penalties and interest but it is not easy to use.

We at Itieffe offer a very simple program that can be used by anyone, where by entering four data, we find the pre-compiled prospectus of the F24 model to be used to regularize everything.

Obviously, the information provided in this section is intended to be indicative and everyone is required to check the accuracy of the calculations.

Calculating industrious repentance

The active repentance was introduced by art. 13 of Legislative Decree 472/97 and allows the taxpayer to spontaneously regularize the non-payment (or insufficient) of taxes before he has been formally notified by the administration of any inspection, verification or assessment procedures against him.

As regards the taxes managed directly by the Revenue Agency, such as for example income taxes, the amendments introduced by Legislative Decree 158/2015 (new paragraph 1-ter of the aforementioned article 13) provide that the voluntary repentance is possible even if a tax inspection has already begun provided that no deed of liquidation or assessment has been notified (including communications from automated and formal control of returns).

Regularization takes place through the payment of the tax due, plus legal interest, and a reduced fine, the lower the amount the sooner the repentance occurs.

The payment of the reduced fine must be made at the same time as the regularization of the tax and the payment of interest; in other words, the payment of the three sums (tax, fine and interest) takes place through a single F24 form in which the three items must be kept separate, each with its own tax code.

However, it should be noted that, as established by paragraph 1-quater of art. 13, recourse to active repentance does not in any case prevent the Administration from undertaking subsequent verification and assessment actions against the tax payer.

In particular, the ordinarily applicable statutory sanctions and those reduced following any active repentance can be summarized as indicated in the following table:

  • brief repentance: for payments made after the 14th day but before the 30th; in this case the fine is equal to 1,5% (1/10 of 15%), in addition to interest at the legal rate which from 01/01/2022 is equal to 1,25%;

Other types of repentance (not contemplated in the program)

 Penalty regime of UNDUE OFFSETTING OF NON-EXISTENT CREDITS in Form F24
The art. 27, paragraph 18 reads:

"theThe use of non-existent credits in compensation for the payment of sums due is punished with a fine ranging from one hundred to two hundred percent of the amount of the credits themselves ".

Failure to present the F24 form with zero balance
Anyone who carries out horizontal compensation must always present the F24 form, even when it has a zero balance. In fact, the model allows all the Entities to become aware of the payments and compensations made and allows the Revenue Agency to attribute the sums due to each one.
The omitted or delayed presentation of the F24 model with a zero balance can be regularised. Circular no. 54/E of 19 June 2002, the Revenue Agency clarified that to regularize this violation it is necessary:

a) submit the F24 form, within the deadline for submitting the return relating to the year in which the violation was committed;

b) pay a reduced fine, equal to:
– €. 5,56 (1/9 of the administrative fine of €. 50) if the delay does not exceed 5 days;

– €. 11,11 (1/9 of the administrative fine of €. 100) if the delay is between 6 and 90 days;

– €. 12,50 (1/8 of the administrative fine of €. 100) if the model is presented within one year of the omission.

Special Ruling 2023
Article 1, paragraphs 174 to 178 of Law no. 197 of 29 December 2022 (the so-called 'Budget Law 2023), relating to taxes administered by the Revenue Agency, introduces a new method of repentance which affects validly presented returns (therefore not those omitted!) relating to the 2021 tax period and earlier (the 2022 tax period is therefore excluded). Regularization requires the payment of a reduced penalty equal to 1/18 of the minimum, in addition to the tax and interest calculated at the legal rate. The payment can be made in a single installment by 31 March 2023, or in eight quarterly installments, increased by 2% interest.

The 'Special Ruling' is possible for violations not yet contested at the payment date.

For payments you must use:

  • the F24 form, for income taxes, related substitute taxes, VAT, Irap and entertainment tax
  • the F23 model, for registration tax and other indirect taxes.
  • the F24 Elide for taxes, penalties and interest, connected to the registration of lease and rental contracts of real estate

Calculating industrious repentance

Let's analyze the program

With this program it is possible to calculate the voluntary correction for the main direct tax codes (IRPEF, IRAP, Municipal surtaxes, Cedolare Secca, etc.) and view a simple prospectus that can be used to compile the F24 payment model with the codes tax for penalties and interest and the summary of the calculations made.

The penalties applied by the program are listed below

For calculating interest, the program uses the updated table of legal interests (also used in other areas), and takes into account the so-called sprint correction with reduced penalties if the omitted payment is settled with a delay of no more than 15 days.

Let's see how to proceed

Data for calculations

1 – enter the unpaid tax code;

2 – date on which the tax was to be paid;

3 – date of payment from repentance;

4 – unpaid amount (omitted or insufficient);

Results

5 – days of late payment;

6 – tax codes and related amounts to be paid.

Nothing else is needed, the total amount of the correction has been calculated.

The program also offers the prospectus of the F24 model created with the calculations made.
