When the postman rings at the door, there is probably a registered letter to collect. That is bad news coming. In fact, registered letters are used to send fines, tax bills and other communications from the Revenue Agency. In short, it would seem like not to open to the postman and then not to collect the letter from the post office. However, it would be a wrong choice. According to article 1335 of the civil code, with the refusal or non-collection of a registered letter, there are great risks. The sender can assume knowledge of the content and then proceed without giving us a way to defend ourselves. So what to do if a registered letter from the Revenue Agency arrives? The first step is to withdraw any communication and read it carefully. A correct and timely answer reduces our present and future risks. In fact, we will be able to clarify the issues raised and demonstrate correct conduct towards the tax authorities. An advantage for the future. The Agency in fact draws up a real one school report for taxpayers. A positive evaluation means fewer checks in the future.
What to reply to the Agency
Responding to the points raised by the Agency is crucial. This will prevent the proceedings from advancing with the risk of foreclosure. The tax authorities can in fact proceed with an administrative stop of our car, or even forcibly withdrawing from the current account. We anticipate the times: we respond to the Agency and explain our reasons. If we find ourselves wrong, we can opt for costly repentance. In this way, we will pay the amount due with a minimum cost and regularize our position. If the Agency were to contest omissions or irregularities in the tax return, we will still have the opportunity to clarify the situation. The letter will indicate the name and references of the person in charge of the procedure. Let’s contact him and make an appointment to clarify directly with the person in charge. Let’s not forget that the Tax has an interest in completing the assessment quickly and will be available at discounts if we prove cooperative.
What to do if a registered letter from the Revenue Agency arrives?
If the registered letter contains a notice of assessment we will have two roads ahead of us. The first is to prove that you are right. In this case it will be useful to attach any document or evidence useful to prove the correctness of our work. We remind you that the only evidence allowed will be the documents, while the testimonies will not be useful to us. Should we realize that we are wrong, the only possibility is to admit the mistake and deal with our counterpart. Also in this case, very often the Agency will come to meet us to quickly resolve the problem. We have seen what to do if a registered letter from the Revenue Agency arrives. In the event that the situation is complex, we may request the support of a tax lawyer or accountant. Professionals will be able to better analyze the situation and assert our reasons in the appropriate forums.
