The set of tax simplifications proposed by the Italian Revenue Agency director, Mr. Attilio Befera, in order to meet the needs of companies and professionals for the reduction of the bureaucracy burden, found an initial response in the over 20 measures introduced in the so called “Decreto Sviluppo” passed by the Government in May 5, 2011. In particular: (i) abolition of the obligation concerning the annual communication to the withholding agent of the data relating to the deductions for dependent people when, compared with the previous year, no variation occur.
