The PDF you download is in Italian — that is the language it has to be filed in, so it is not translated. Everything on this page is here to tell you what it says.
For anyone who received from the Comune an executive assessment or another demand for IMU, TARI or another local tax and cannot pay it all at once. Many Comuni have their own free form: if there is one, use it. Instalments follow the Comune’s regulation or, failing that, Italian Law no. 160 of 27 December 2019: up to 72 monthly instalments depending on the amount, and a regulation must allow at least 36 for debts above € 6,000.01. The request declares a temporary financial difficulty and is exempt from stamp duty.

Common questions
- Over how many instalments can arrears of IMU and TARI be paid in Italy?
- The Comune’s revenue regulation decides. If the Comune has no rules of its own, Italian Law no. 160 of 27 December 2019 applies, allowing up to 72 monthly instalments depending on the amount; for debts above € 6,000.01 a regulation must still allow at least 36 instalments (Ministry of Economy and Finance, resolution no. 3/DF of 2020). The regulation is on the Comune’s website; many Comuni also have a free request form.
- Do you have to prove financial difficulty to get instalments from an Italian Comune?
- Yes: the request must give reasons and the Comune’s regulation says which documents to attach, for example the ISEE certificate, the latest tax return or bank statements, and the Comune may ask for more. The difficulty is declared in the document under the criminal penalties for false statements (article 76 of Italian Presidential Decree no. 445/2000). For small amounts many regulations ask for no documents.
- Does an instalment request to an Italian Comune need a revenue stamp?
- No. Requests to pay local-tax assessments such as IMU, TARI and tourist tax in instalments are exempt from stamp duty under article 5 of table B annexed to Italian Presidential Decree no. 642/1972, as the Agenzia delle Entrate has clarified (ruling no. 465 of 2021). In the province of Bolzano the Comune also accepts the request in German, in the Aosta Valley also in French.

- Request to the Italian Revenue Agency to cancel an act in self-review (autotutela) (Italy)
For anyone who received from the Agenzia delle Entrate an assessment, a notice of irregularity or a tax bill with an obvious error: wrong person, calculation error, payment already made and ignored. Before this letter, the free route: the Agency’s CIVIS online service, for notices and bills, and its own fac-simile on plain paper. The request goes to the Agency office that issued the act or, for a tax bill, the one that entered the sums for collection, by PEC, recorded delivery or by hand, with no revenue stamp; it does not suspend the 60 days to appeal.
- Request to the Comune to cancel an IMU, TARI or other local-tax act (Italy)
For anyone who received from the Comune, or the agent collecting for it, an assessment or payment notice for IMU, TARI or another local tax with an obvious error: a property not owned, wrong floor area or cadastral value, payment already made, wrong person. Many Comuni have their own form or a free online desk: if there is one, use it. This Italian request goes to the tax office that issued the act, by PEC or recorded delivery, and does not suspend the 60 days to appeal.
- Request for a refund of income tax paid but not due (Italy)
For anyone who paid an Italian income tax by F24 that was not due, or more than was due – a double payment, a wrong amount – and cannot recover it through the tax return. The request goes to the Agenzia delle Entrate office for the taxpayer’s tax domicile within 48 months of the payment (article 38 of Presidential Decree no. 602/1973). It is exempt from stamp duty. If the Agency stays silent for 90 days, an appeal can be made to the tax court (Corte di giustizia tributaria).
