Overview

  • Across four amnesties launched since 2016, about €33 billion was collected versus roughly €111 billion forecast, according to Corte dei Conti data.
  • The latest 'quater' program had €12.2 billion collected by December 31, 2024, while €11.2 billion in instalments due in 2023–2024 went unpaid.
  • Earlier rounds also fell short, with the 2016, 2017 bis and 2018 ter programs each collecting only a fraction of projected revenue.
  • Rateization has surged, with €53.5 billion of debt under instalment plans at end‑2024 across more than 6 million requests, up 26% year over year.
  • Collections remain weak overall, with only 17.7% of assessed 2024 evasion turning into receipts and just 3.1% recovered on amounts registered in role, while reports suggest the government may consider anti‑abuse measures in the upcoming budget.
