Until December 15th, the files of Municipalities and Regions can be “scrapped”. Here’s how it works, what you save and when you pay
Anyone who has an unpaid fine, a car tax or a forgotten Imu or Tari installment in their drawer can now get in order. Until December 15, 2026 you can join the scrapping quinquies of debts with Municipalities, Regions and other local authorities. The application is made online on the Revenue Agency-Collection website. But not all entities have joined: there are around 1,500, and to find out if yours is also included, all you need to do is check on the Agency’s portal.
Who can join the scrapping quinquies of local authorities
Tax and non-tax debts entrusted to the Agency can be remedied between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2023. The exceptions are those resulting from convictions by the Court of Auditors. Folders already included in the first three scrappings can also be included if the benefit has been lost. The same applies to quater scrapping, but only if the benefits have lapsed by 30 September 2025. Taxpayers up to date with quater payments on that date are excluded. The amnesty does not apply to taxes that Municipalities collect directly or through private companies. In these cases each institution can decide independently whether to offer its own facilitated definition and with which rules.
Scrapping quinquies: how much you save, discounts on penalties and interest
Those who join pay the capital still owed, plus the costs for any enforcement procedures and for the notification of the bills. They are cancelled penalties, interest, late payment interest and premium, i.e. the compensation for collection. For traffic fines the cut is smaller: interest, surcharges and premiums are eliminated, but the amount of the fine remains to be paid.
How to apply for scrapping quinquies local authorities
First of all you need to retrieve the information prospectusthe document that lists the scrappable bills and the sums due. Simply connect to the reserved area of the Agency website with SPID, CIE or CNS. Professionals and businesses can also use Revenue Agency credentials. The prospectus arrives via email within half a day, with a link to download it within five days. Those who do not have a digital identity can fill out the form in the public area of the site, attaching an identification document. Then we move on to the actual questionin the section “Facilitated definition (Scrapping – quinquies territorial bodies)”. You must enter the numbers of the folders to be included, the choice between single payment and installments and an e-mail address where you can receive the receipt. Once the request has been sent, no new administrative seizures (blocking of the vehicle) or mortgages can be issued for the included tax bills. Even the procedures already started are not moving forward.
Deadlines and installments: when you pay
The Agency will communicate the amounts due by 28 February 2027. You can pay everything in a single payment by March 31, 2027, or choose up to 54 bimonthly installmentseach of at least 100 euros. The installments accrue interest of 3% per year starting from 1 April 2027. The deadlines after the first installment are these:
- 2027: May 31st, July 31st, September 30th, November 30th
- from 2028: January 31, March 31, May 31, July 31, September 30, November 30
The payment deadlines are binding: you will lose the benefits if you do not pay or only pay part of the single instalment, if you miss two instalments, even if not consecutive, or if you miss the last one.
