Every Sardinian citizen, including newborns, owes (or rather should, in the conditional) over 14 thousand euros to the Italian tax authorities. 14,257 to be precise.

This is the per capita figure obtained by dividing the total amount of taxes, duties, fines, bills and various credits that over the years the Revenue Agency and other bodies have failed to collect, for various reasons, on the Island .

The data was published by Il Sole 24 Ore , which took a snapshot of the situation at a national level and drew up a classification of the so-called "uncollected warehouse" region by region.

At the national level, the total of uncollected disputes amounts to 1,275 billion euros at the end of 2024, a value that statistically equals 21,611 euros for each Italian.

As for the regions, the highest per capita amount is in Lazio, where the tax authorities theoretically expect 226.7 billion, or 39,673 euros per resident . Second in the ranking is Campania (152.5 billion; 27,264 euros per citizen), followed by Lombardy (259.35 billion; 25,904 per person).

As mentioned, the per capita amount that the tax authorities expect from each Sardinian citizen is over 14 thousand euros.

The issue of unpaid taxes and duties is currently the focus of the work of a technical commission – chaired by former Court of Auditors magistrate Roberto Benedetti – set up specifically to analyze and study possible remedies and methods for clearing up arrears.
