According to tax return data, moreover, each Italian citizen paid an average of EUR 5,380 in Irpef, which is declared by almost 32.4 million subjects, or about 77% of the total number of taxpayers. For about 9.7 million subjects the net tax was zero.
It should also be mentioned that according to the distribution of tax by income classes, taxpayers with net tax and income up to 35,000 euro (80 per cent of the total) declare 37 per cent of the total net tax, while the tax burden remains largely on the shoulders of the remaining 63 per cent who declare income above 35,000 euro (20 per cent of the total taxpayers).
