In 2022, the Italian tax authorities recovered more than 20 billion euros from the fight against evasion. Credit also goes to digitization, particularly the use of tools such as electronic invoicing. Almost 80 billion euros in taxes are still missing from the roll call each year, an extraordinarily high amount, but the Italian tax administration is improving its ability to combat tax offense. Between 2015 and 2020, in fact, evasion in Italy fell by 16.3 billion euros. The tax gap estimated by the Mef fell to 89.8 billion euros, of which 78.9 billion euros can be attributed to lost tax revenue and the other 10.8 billion euros is the "fruit" of tax evasion. Also insensitive to tax compliance are those multinationals and Web giants that, in Italy, make multimillion-dollar profits but pay the vast majority of taxes in countries with high tax advantages.
