Table of Interest Rates – Income Tax

The rates of interest on overdue tax is a matter of some complexity. The Italian Parliament has, over the years, proposed simplification but the relevant draft legislation has not so far been enacted. Numerous different rates apply to different kinds of tax in different circumstances.  The table below shows the base table of legal interest rates over the years, but individual taxes will likely have different rates applicable.   Given the complexity you should always seek professional advice if you need an exact calculation.
