This is established by provision n.176227 of the Revenue Agency published on 23 May 2022.
The Revenue Agency has defined deadlines and terms within which financial operators must send periodic communications and broadens the information concerning the so-called payment services.
The provision of the financial administration establishes the deadline for the monthly communication, moving it to the last working day of the month, in order to align the data acquisition with the start of the processing scheduled at the beginning of the following calendar month. Also, the document specifies that Saturday is considered a non-working day. The deadline for the annual supplementary communication is also changed, which passes from February 15th to the last working day of February. The technical deadline for the so-called "consolidation" has been set at 30 April, that is, the period beyond which the values communicated for balances and transactions in the reports are confirmed. The provision also specifies the obligation to communicate financial relations of payment services by defining new analytical identification codes, to distinguish financial products based on their operation, card users and the different relevance of their respective accounting data. In this way, the accounting data should represent more expressively the spending capacity for the analysis of the risk of evasion as well as of the ISEE controls.
