What are the new strict checks on the truth of Isee declarations and bonuses received with the new law on residence in force recently? Residence is the place where every citizen must establish his habitual abode and it is a legal obligation to be respected because having a registered residence means being registered in the registry office of a specific Municipality, having a specific territorial jurisdiction of the Judicial bodies , be able to exercise the right to vote, have one’s own official place where to notify deeds and send communications and for which to pay taxes, such as Imu and Tari.
However, we often come across false residences that are set up to avoid paying certain taxes or pay less, as well as to be able to take advantage of greater bonuses and discounts through consequent Isee declarations. But now the controls are becoming more stringent.

What does the new residence law come into force recently?
The new residence law recently in force stems from a recent ruling which established how each individual Municipality has the right to carry out checks, even unannounced, without the need for any notice to verify that the residence declared by each citizen is actually true.
For their part, citizens have the possibility to communicate at what times they are not present at home and in these cases the municipality cannot carry out checks. However, if, on days and times in which the citizen should be at home, the residence address communicated is never present, especially in the case of repeated checks, then the registrar can proceed with the cancellation of the citizen’s name from the local registry office.
New law on residence and checks and consequences for Isee declarations and bonuses received
The new law on residence therefore implies stricter controls on the effective composition of families who reside in the same residence and fall under the same family status as well as on truthfulness of the related ISEE declarations for bonuses and concessions recognized accordingly.
The checks on residences and the consequences on the ISEE declarations therefore become more widespread, because the data entered in the DSU (Single Replacement Declaration) are in part self-declared by the citizen and in part are automatically acquired by the INS from its own archives and from those of the Agency of the Revenue and can be verified by them, starting from the residences.
If incongruous and false data emerge from the checks of the ISEE declarations, there is a risk of a fine equal to 3 times the benefit obtained and in any case the fine ranges from a minimum of 5164 euros to 25,882 euros.
The speech on Isee declarations, concessions and residences is, in fact, absolutely correlated and dependent, considering that both tax payments and the possibility of taking advantage of tax breaks depend on the composition of a family nucleus indicated in the same family status because they have the same residence and if someone changes residence, also changing the ISEE, the bonuses and concessions that can be used also change.
According to the laws in force, in fact, when a member of the family unit who returns to a family status changes residence, he leaves the family unit and also changes the ISEE, which generally decreases, resulting in fewer people living together in the same house and a value The lower Isee allows both the family of origin and the individual member who has changed residence to access greater concessions, benefits, support and help measures that they otherwise could not have had.
However, if parents or other elderly relatives who are fiscally dependent are cohabiting and with the same residence, further tax breaks can be obtained such as:
- 19% tax deduction for the purchase of medicines on a deductible of 129.11 euros;
- 19% tax deduction for hiring domestic cleaners and carers;
- discounts on the electricity bill for those who assist a father-in-law or elderly parent living together with the need to constantly use electro-medical equipment for life support;
- reduction or total exemption of the payment of the car tax, specifically provided for in some cases identified by law.
Even in this case, if the residence were not real, so that the ISEE declaration would also be false, sanctions and loss of the foreseen concessions would be triggered.
Times to check the truth of Isee statements
Checks on ISEE declarations require specific times. In particular, as required by the laws in force, checks on the ISEE can be carried out within five years of the presentation of the ISEE and run from 31 December of the year in which the declaration was presented. After the five-year term, the checks are prescribed.
