The Agreement between tax payers and Tax Administration (in italian CPB) is a tax tool introduced to encourage voluntary compliance and certainty of tax burden for businesses and self-employed individuals. Through this mechanism, the taxpayer agrees in advance with the Revenue Agency on the taxable income for a two-year period, benefiting from greater fiscal stability.

Assessment of Convenience

Before joining the CPB, it is essential to analyze some key aspects:

• Synthetic Index of Fiscal Reliability (ISA): The taxpayer must check their ISA score using the "Your ISA 2025 CPB" software, available online.
• Tax benefits: The agreement allows for stabilizing the taxable income, avoiding future assessments, and ensuring certainty in taxation.
• Impact on liquidity: It is necessary to assess whether the agreed amount is sustainable in relation to the company's financial capacity.

Methods of participation

Participation in the CPB is made through the completion of the CPB form, which can be submitted:

• Along with the 2025 tax return.
• Separately, by submitting the CPB form with only the cover page of the 2025 tax return.

Operational steps

a) Calculation of the agreed-upon income

• Use the ISA 2025 CPB software to determine the income proposed by the Revenue Agency.
• Verify the consistency of the income with your own economic situation.

b) Submission of the application

• Fill out the CPB form with the required information.
• Send the form through the Revenue Agency's online channels by July 31, 2025.

c) Post-adherence tax management

• The agreed-upon income will be binding for the two-year period 2025-2026.
• Any changes must be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Revenue Agency.

When is it advisable to join?

Joining the CPB is recommended if:

• One has a high ISA score, which ensures favorable conditions.
• You wish to avoid future tax assessments and stabilize your tax burden.
• You have a predictable economic situation, without significant fluctuations in income.

When is it better to avoid?

It may be appropriate not to join if:

• The company's income is subject to significant fluctuations.
• Significant investments which could alter the taxable base.
• The ISA score is low, with less favorable conditions.

Conclusion

The Agreement presents an opportunity for businesses and professionals, but requires careful evaluation of its advantages. Analyzing your ISA score, comparing tax benefits, and considering economic sustainability are essential steps to make an informed decision.
