One hundred and fifty-three thousand more taxpayers, for a total of 41.5 million who paid their taxes in 2019, for a total declared income of 884 billion euros and an average value of 21,800 euros (+ 0.6%). Four and a half billion more than in 2018 (+ 0.5%) even if one in 4 subjects had a net tax equal to zero.
Iperf income 2019
The Ministry of Economy has published the data of the income tax returns for 2019 from which it emerges that 75% of taxpayers paid the tax, about 31.2 million subjects, while 10.4 million people, the remaining 25%, not have filed the tax return because they are not required to do so. “These – the Mef clarifies – are taxpayers with income levels included in the exemption thresholds, or those whose gross tax is zeroed as a result of the deductions recognized by our system”. To these are added the approximately 2.4 million subjects whose net tax is fully offset by the «80 euro» bonus.
70% declare up to 70 thousand euros
The Mef data also show that 70% of taxpayers who declare 67% of the total income tax is in the range between 15,000 and 70,000 euros; 27% declares about 4% of the total income tax and is in the class up to 15,000 euros and only 4% declares more than 70,000 euros by paying 29% of the total income tax. Furthermore, if subscriptions to the flat-rate scheme double and exceed one and a half million (with flat tax at 5-15% up to 65,000 euros), there is instead the flop of taxation at 7% on retirement income for those who move from abroad in the small towns of some regions of Italy (Sicily, Calabria, Sardinia, Basilicata, Abruzzo, Molise and Puglia): less than 50 subjects joined.
