The Agency Revenue has made available on the web for a few hours before the crash by the Guarantor, the income for the year 2005 declared by all Italian citizens. Not only is the site of the Agency has given the possibility 'of a free consultation but also to save a copy with file transfer functions according to the following location: www.agenziaentrate.gov.it -> People Offices in office -> lists of names of taxpayers -> inquiry statements -> Province of interest -> Town of interest.

As quoted by Corriere della Sera, the measure is signed by Massimo Romano, director of the Revenue, which was issued in 99 a similar measure to implement the rule of 'transparency', that 'the possibility' of full flow of information in the public interest.

Hence the block party by the Guarantor to privacy, more 'than legitimate, based on paragraph 6 of Article 60 of Presidential Decree 600/1973, where it is expected that the lists are stored for a year for the purpose of consultaizone anyone, either in the same tax office, both at the Commons, then on the internet with no consultation "unlimited" or at least without "mode 'appropriate'.

" Countercurrent and 'instead Sos Users Association, asking to re-publish the lists of taxpayers as a result of its possibility' of complete transparency.



PRIVACY ABROAD (source, "Corriere della Sera")
In Britain, the statements are covered by the right to privacy. No one can therefore, much less over the Internet, access to private files without a release. They obviously excluded accountants, who work delegated to its clients, and tax officials. The only case in which the tax information of individual citizens may become public domain is unfolded when, at the request of a judge, in a process that takes place in open court. The employees of HM Revenue & Customs, the British tax office, they may under no circumstances give access to members of the public, including journalists, or risk losing their jobs.
