How does 8×1000 work?

To assign your 8×1000 you just need a signature.

Every Italian citizen may assign their 8×1000 to the State or one of the religious confessions that have signed an Agreement by filling in the dedicated section of the income tax return of natural persons.

For those taxpayers who are not required to fill in an income tax return, the certificazione dei redditi (income certificate, CU) including the signed form to express their 8×1000 preference may be:

• sent to the qualified branch of the Agenzia delle Entrate (tax authority) or filled in online;
• delivered in a sealed envelope at a post office or through an authorized intermediary (e.g. an accountant).

What happens if I don’t assign my 8×1000?

8×1000 funds are distributed proportionately to the preferences received by each entity. In case a citizen doesn’t sign the form and therefore doesn’t express any preference, their 8×1000 is assigned anyway, proportionately to the choices actually indicated: each 8×1000 beneficiary will receive an additional percentage of the total income revenue of natural persons, based on the percentage of signatures it received.

What is the purpose of 8×1000?

The law limits the areas of intervention of the religious confessions that are 8×1000 beneficiaries: funds may be invested in cultural, charitable or religious activities and initiatives outlined in each Agreement.
