Presentation

The Italian Ministry of Education funded a research project entitled “Estimated Tax Assessments and Presumptive Taxation : A Comparative Analysis,” to be coordinated by Nicola Sartori from the University of Milano-Bicocca as a Principal Investigator. The goal is to evaluate the need for reforming the Italian tax system in this respect, by verifying whether there are different presumptive assessment methodologies (or presumptive income tax regimes) in other countries that could be adopted to better address tax evasion in Italy.
