A joint investigation by the **Guardia di Finanza** and the **Agenzia delle Entrate** has uncovered a sophisticated mechanism of **tax fraud** in Brescia, leading to the preventive seizure of over **183 million euros** in false **tax credits**. The operation, initiated to verify the proper use of “VAT” and “D.T.A.” (Deferred Tax Assets) tax credits, revealed that the seized credits include 45 million euros in D.T.A. credits and 138 million euros in VAT credits, deemed illegitimate. The investigations highlighted the falsity of the data used in the tax declarations, linked to a defunct capital company specifically created to facilitate the transfer of fictitious credits.
Authorities noted that the VAT credits had been requested for reimbursement from the Agenzia delle Entrate, necessitating coordination with the Lazio Regional Directorate. The urgent seizure was deemed necessary to prevent these false credits from entering the legal economic circuit, where they could have been improperly offset or transferred to third parties. The current situation underscores the importance of precautionary measures in combating tax fraud on a national scale.
