The Ministry of Economy and Finance is betting firmly on Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize the relationship between the IRS and the taxpayer. This was announced by Deputy Minister Maurizio Leo, who calls this innovation “a turning point” in the way the tax administration will manage controls and assistance. The new technologies will be used primarily to enhance risk analysis, a key element in sending out reminder notices and automated audits. But that's not all: AI will also support the management of specific measures, such as the two-year arrangement dedicated to VAT filers, facilitating a faster and more efficient process. Despite the expansion of automated procedures, Deputy Minister Leo reassures that each intervention will always be supervised by an official, thus ensuring the correctness and transparency of operations. Technological innovation will also affect several areas of the tax system, including the filing of returns, the calculation of payment installments, the management of tax disputes, and the fight against financial crime. In this regard, special attention is being paid to the protection of privacy, with close cooperation with the Personal Data Protection Authority.
