In the months of January-April 2022, the tax revenues ascertained on the basis of the criterion of legal competence amounted to 148.3 billion euros, with an increase of 14.2 billion compared to the same period of the previous year (+ 10.7% ). This was communicated by a note from the MEF.
The significant increase recorded in the four-month period is influenced both by the carry-over of the positive effects on revenues which were determined starting from 2021, and by the effects of Legislative Decree no. 34/2020 (so-called “Relaunch decree”) and of Legislative Decree no. 104/2020 (the so-called “August decree”), which had arranged, in 2020, the extensions of the suspension of payments and subsequently, in 2021, the resumption of the same, allowing taxpayers to pay them in installments. The payment in installments may determine revenue effects also over the next few months of 2022.
In April, tax revenues amounted to 34.9 billion (+658 million euros, + 1.9%). In particular, direct taxes recorded a decrease in revenue of 1.5 billion (-9.0%) and indirect taxes recorded a positive trend of 2.1 billion euro (+ 12.4%).
