Who must submit the 730?

Employees and pensioners with income from work, pension, rent, or with deductible expenses. It is not mandatory if you only have exempt income or income subject to separate taxation.

What can be deducted in the 730?

Medical expenses (19% above €129), first home mortgage interest (19%, max €4,000), rent (tenants), school expenses, daycare, transport passes, donations, vet expenses, life insurance.

730 vs Redditi PF: what is the difference?

The 730 is for employees and pensioners — the refund comes via payslip. Redditi PF is for the self-employed and those with more complex income — refund via F24 or bank transfer from the Tax Agency.

What happens if I don't file the 730?

It's not always mandatory. But if you have deductible expenses, not filing means giving up the refund. If you are required to file and don't, you risk penalties.

Step-by-step procedure

Access the pre-filled 730

Go to dichiarazioni.agenziaentrate.gov.it with SPID, CIE or CNS. Click on "730 precompilato". The form is available from April each year.

Check the pre-filled data

Check that the automatically entered data is correct: employment income, bank interest, medical expenses (from Tessera Sanitaria), INPS contributions. You can accept without changes or add data.

If you accept without changes, your liability is reduced in case of an audit.

Add deductible expenses

Enter expenses not already included: rent (tenants), mortgage interest, education costs, life insurance, donations, veterinary expenses, etc. Each category has a different percentage and cap.

Medical expenses above €129.11 are deductible at 19%.

Submit the declaration

You can submit directly online (free) or through a CAF/accountant (fee applies). The deadline is 30 September. The form can be submitted from 2 May.

A CAF is convenient if you have a complex tax situation or don't have time.

Receive your refund or pay any balance

If you have an IRPEF refund, it arrives in your payslip from July (August for pensioners). If you have a balance due, it is withheld from your payslip in instalments (July–November).
