An Unexpected Tax Rebate, Possibly?

The former Italian governments’ putting Italian tax payers declared incomes on-line has aroused the wrath of the Codacons Italian consumers’ association.

The Codacons’ body has brought charges against the government claiming some 20 billion Euros in damages. This means that each of the 38 million or so taxpayers in Italy may receive a rebate of around €520!

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

Only I’m not going to rush out and spend the cash too soon. At the rate at which the Italian legal system moves, even if the case is won, the €520 will probably be added to my pension.

Ah, Italy. What a delightfully wacky place.

But it is true he is innocent.
