This rental campaign began with a clear timeline, and while there is a window to complete everything by June 30, it is wise to act promptly to prevent forgetfulness, especially if there is a belief that the treasury has been overpaid and a refund may be due. A last-minute rush can be costly and stressful.
Agent made a mistake on my income statement: what the Treasury expects
If the income statement is not completed when required, penalties can apply. In some cases, the treasury can impose a charge of up to 20 percent of the amount owed due to delays in presenting the statement. The minimum penalty is five percent; if a refund is due from tax authorities, a fixed penalty of 100 euros may be charged. These penalties underscore the importance of timely and accurate declarations. (Source: Tax Office guidance)
Beyond these rules, taxpayers may face additional penalties for errors in declared income, incorrect payments, missing a Tax Identification Number, or submitting forged documents. Accuracy matters, and careful review helps avoid unnecessary charges.
Errors in the income statement can trigger further scrutiny and delays. Maintaining correct records protects against penalties and ensures proper processing of any refunds that may be due. It is advisable to verify all figures before submission to minimize the risk of costly corrections later. (Source: Tax Office guidance)
Message from the Treasury when rent money is returned
The treasury has emphasized the importance of reviewing fiscal information carefully. If any adjustments are needed, they should be addressed promptly to ensure compliance and avoid complications. Keeping track of withholdings and income details reduces the likelihood of discrepancies that could affect refunds or payments. (Source: Tax Office guidance)
Most common errors in the income statement
One frequent mistake is recording the tax address—the location of the taxpayer, whether an individual or a business. Although it may seem trivial, incorrect address information can result in penalties. It is essential to ensure that the declared address matches the official records to avoid fines up to 100 euros.

Another recurring issue is failing to include accurate withholding amounts, income figures, or other essential data. Such oversights can lead to delays and potential penalties. A thorough review of all numbers before submission helps prevent these problems and ensures a smoother processing of returns or refunds. (Source: Tax Office guidance)
Attention: the Treasury will review rent money starting today
With that in mind, taxpayers should carefully examine the tax data related to rent income. Verifying withholdings, total income, and other crucial elements is essential because the Tax Office relies on this information when evaluating the income statement. The information needed for filing is typically available through the Tax Office website. If any errors are discovered, an amended declaration can be filed to correct them and align with official records. (Source: Tax Office guidance)
