In the period January-August 2021, tax revenues ascertained on the basis of the criterion of legal competence amounted to 302,180 million euros, marking an increase of 30,614 million euros compared to the same period of 2020 (+ 11.3%).
It can be read in a note from the Mef, according to which the comparison between the first eight months of 2021 and those of the corresponding period of the previous year still shows an evident character of inhomogeneity due to the lockdown and the consequent economic measures and suspension of direct payments to address the health emergency.
The month of August shows a positive change in tax revenues equal to 4,117 million euros (+ 10.1%), determined by the increase in revenues from direct taxes of 1,788 million euros (+ 8.3%) and indirect taxes of 2,329 million euros (+ 12.2%).
