The government studies a double -track amnesty: scrapping for debts over 50 thousand euros and balance and excerpt for the little ones. Here’s who will return
The tax peace machine returns to move, and 2026 could mark the arrival of an unpublished, more selective and two -speed amnesty. The project under discussion at the Ministry of Economy aims to reduce the weight of the tax collection files and, at the same time, to avoid new generalized amnesties. There are three possible tools at stake: a quinquies scrapping with limited access, a balance and excerpt for minor debts and the automatic excerpt of the now inevitable folders.
Quinquies scrapping: 10 years of installments, but only over 50 thousand euros
It will not be a scrapping for everyone. The new plan provides for the possibility of expanding debts exceeding 50,000 euros in 120 monthly installments, equal to 10 years, but with a 5% initial maxi-rated to ensure a quick return to the state coffers. A mechanism designed for those who are really in difficulty, avoiding replicating the indiscriminate amnesties of past editions. Access would concern the folders gained between 2000 and 2023, but with more rigid stakes than in the past.
SALD AND EXCHELINAL: the opportunity for those who have small debts and low income
Next to the scrapping, the hypothesis of a simplified balance and excerpt is back. The measure, already tested in 2019, would allow those who have debts of reduced amount – lower than 1,000 or 5,000 euros – and critical economic conditions to close the game with the tax authorities by paying only a part of the necessary, without penalties or interest. A road that would allow to lighten the administrative load of thousands of micro-articles hardly payable.
Automatic excerpt: the hypothesis for eliminating inevitable debts
The proposal of the Parliamentary Budget Office is also on the table: definitively cancel the small credits that are now impossible to recover. 94% of folders do not exceed 5,000 euros, and a targeted landfill could free resources for the collection of more relevant amounts. The Benedetti Commission to the MEF will define the criteria for this structural tax cleaning operation by the end of 2025.
Autumn will be decisive: Parliament will have to frame tax peace 2026 between the needs of taxpayers, the budget constraints and the requests of the European Union.
