According to information from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the amount of the eight per thousand of IRPEF allocated to the Catholic Church for the year 2023 amounts to just over 1 billion euros. Data transmitted by the Ministry in the year 2023 and related to the declarations of the year 2020 (2019 income) indicate that the percentage of choices in favor of the Catholic Church was 71.74 percent.
