The number of tax disputes
pending in 2016 amounted to 468,839, despite a 12% reduction in
the backlog, the president of Italy's tax justice Mario
Cavallaro said Monday at the start of his sector's judicial
year.
He added that the value of the tax-litigation cases last year
amounted to 32 billion euros, down from 34 billion in 2015.
Giovanni Canzio, the head of the supreme Court of Cassation,
said that around 50,000 tax disputes weighed down the work of
the top court, causing an "emergency" and adding that many were
cases of low value in economic terms.
Junior Economy Minister Luigi Casero said that the government
was studying ways to "demolish" many of the pending cases.
