Italy’s Agenzie Delle Entrate revenue service has recently compiled a province by province map of Italy’s tax evasion hotspots.
For those who know Italy, the map holds few surprises. Italy’s south has long been known as tax-shy and the map simply confirms this.
Here are the translations of the key so you can understand where Italy’s evasion hotspots are.
- Niente da dichiarare, alta pericolosità fiscale – “Nothing to declare?” – Evasion at or close to 100% – yellow areas.
- Rischio totale, alta pericolosità fiscale – Major risk.
- Metropolis, medio – alta pericolosità fiscale – Metropolis, medium-high risk.
- Non siamo angeli, media pericolosità fiscale – We’re no angels, medium risk.
- Rischiose abitudini, media pericolosità fiscale – Risky habits, medium risk.
- Gli equilibristi, media pericolosità fiscale – Tightrope walkers, medium risk.
- L’industriale, bassa pericolosità fiscale – Industrial – low risk.
- Stanno tutti bene, bassa pericolosità fiscale – They’re all OK, low risk.
