The online procedure to adhere to the five-year amnesty, the facilitated definition of debts entrusted to the collection agent in its new version introduced with the Budget Law for the year 2025, opens its doors. As for the last edition of the amnesty, taxpayers who want to close their accounts with the public collection agent can submit an application by connecting to the Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione (Ader) website and filling in online the form made available by the financial administration at www.agenziaentrateriscossione.gov.it

Main dates

The application window is already available on the Ader portal and will remain open until 30 April 2026. By 30 June 2026, the collection agent will send the notification of the amounts due, with the outcome of the application and the details of the amounts. The first due date is always 31 July 2026, both in the case of a lump sum payment and in the case of payment in instalments. The plan may extend up to 54 bi-monthly instalments, for a total duration of nine years.

Which debts are covered by the measure

According to what was clarified in the first of the faqs disseminated by Ader, the five-year arrangement concerns the loads entrusted to the collection agent between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2023 deriving from omitted payments of taxes resulting from automatic and formal inspections, social security contributions to Inps (excluding those from assessment), and penalties for traffic violations imposed by the Prefectures. Also included are the loads already included in previous facilitated definitions that have lapsed. Faq 2 specifies that debts other than these categories, including those of local authorities and regions, are excluded.

Particular cases: local fines, municipal taxes and assessments

Ader's faqs clarify some recurring cases that often generate doubts among taxpayers. For example, traffic sanctions issued by the local police of municipalities do not fall within the scope of the five-year amnesty: the measure only concerns violations ascertained by the Prefectures, as indicated in Faq 3. Local taxes, such as the waste tariff or the car tax, which cannot be subject to facilitated settlement, as indicated in Faq 4, are also excluded. A further clarification comes from faq 5, which excludes tax assessment notices issued by the Inland Revenue Agency: the five-year arrangement applies only to omitted payments resulting from automatic and formal inspections, not to amounts claimed as a result of assessment activities.

The prospectus

As explained by Agenzia Entrate Riscossione in a note, to those who submit the application directly from the reserved area of the site, the service already proposes only the 'rottamable' debts. In addition, Agenzia Entrate Riscossione has also made available the online service that allows users to request the prospectus with the list of debts that can be 'scrapped' and the corresponding amount owed on a facilitated basis.

It is possible to request the prospectus directly from the reserved area of the Agenzia delle Entrate Riscossione website, in the "Definizione agevolata" section, by filling in the appropriate screen. The system will send, within the next 12 hours, an e-mail to the address indicated, with the link to download the prospectus within 5 days. Alternatively, the prospectus can be requested in the public area of the Agenzia delle Entrate-Riscossione website, by filling in the form available in the "Definizione agevolata (Rottamazione quinquies)" section and attaching the identification documentation. In this case, after the application has been validated and taken over by the offices, if the enclosed documentation is correct, the taxpayer will receive an e-mail with the link to download the prospectus within 5 days.

How to apply

Faq 7 indicates that the application must be submitted by 30 April 2026 via the services available on the Ader website. In the reserved area one logs in with Spid, Cie or Cns and the system automatically shows the definable loads. In the public area, it is necessary to fill in the form, attach an identity document and indicate a non-PEC e-mail address. Only documents containing at least one definable load can be entered.

How to check definable debts

Faq 8 reminds that only debts admitted to the measure are already visible in the reserved area. It is also possible to request the prospectus, which lists folders and Inps notices that can be defined and calculates the amount due.

Underway litigation

Faq 9 makes it possible to include litigated files in the application, provided that the relevant litigation is waived.

What happens after the question

According to Faq 10, by 30 June 2026 the collection agent will send the communication of the amounts due, with payment forms and deadlines. For those who have applied in the reserved area, the communication will be available exclusively within the same area.

Effects on collection procedures

Faq 11 clarifies that, after the application is filed, no new precautionary or enforcement proceedings are started on the debts that can be defined and those already started do not continue, unless auctions have already been awarded. Any attachments or mortgages already registered remain valid.

How much do you pay

Faq 12 explains that only principal, service fees and enforcement costs are paid. Penalties, interest on arrears, interest entered on the register and surcharge are not due. For traffic sanctions imposed by the Prefectures, the measure applies only to interest and surcharge.

Payment in a lump sum or instalment

Faq 13 provides for two payment methods, both with a first due date of 31 July 2026: lump sum payment by 31 July 2026 or payment in instalments of up to 54 bi-monthly instalments, with interest at 3% per annum from 1 August 2026. The first three instalments are due in 2026; from the fourth to the 51st instalment is payable every two months from 2027; the last three instalments are due in 2035.

Forfeiture of benefits

Faq 15 states that the five-year scrapping scheme becomes ineffective in the event of failure to pay the single instalment or two instalments, even if not consecutive, or the last instalment. Faq 16 confirms that failure to pay the single instalment by 31 July 2026 results in the loss of the benefits. Faq 17 clarifies that it is possible to skip an intermediate instalment without forfeiting, but not the last instalment.

Relationships with current instalments, if any

Faq 18 and 19 explain that the submission of the application suspends payment obligations for instalments relating to definable debts until 31 July 2026. Ongoing instalments are revoked on the same date if the application is accepted. For debts that cannot be defined, the taxpayer must continue to pay the remaining instalments.
