With note no. 9326 of December, 9, 2024, the National Labour Inspectorate (i.e. \u201cIspettorato Nazionale del Lavoro<\/em>\u201d or \u201cINL<\/em>\u201d) provided an overview of the new sanctions regime introduced by Article 27 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 81\/2008, as amended by Italian Decree-Law 19\/2024 (converted by Law 56\/2024). This regime applies to all violations concerning the credit license (i.e., \u201cpatente a crediti<\/em>\u201d) as of October 1, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paragraph 11 of Article 27 establishes a system of penalties<\/strong> for companies operating on construction sites without a valid credit license or with a score lower than 15 points (it should be noted that the initial score is 30 points.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administrative penalty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The legislator has provided for an administrative sanction equal to 10% of the value of the works (excluding VAT), with a minimum penalty of EUR 6,000, which is not subject to the warning procedure under Article 301-bis of Italian Legislative Decree No. 81\/2008. The value of the works to be considered is the amount specified in the contract or subcontract. If the value of the works is unknown or below the minimum threshold, the penalty of Euro 6,000 will still apply. However, a reduction to one-third of the penalty is possible if the fine is paid within 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law also defines the liability of the principal. The principal is responsible for verifying whether the contractor holds a valid credit license or an equivalent document. If the company is not required to hold the license, the principal must verify the SOA qualification certificate. This certificate verifies the company\u2019s economic, organizational, and technical qualifications, ensuring that the company meets specific criteria required for the execution of public works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
