After being removed from the fund no mistake is recognized and today is the last day on which taxpayers can correct their E9 in order not to be faced with unwanted …side effects in the ENFIA settlement.

The deadline concerns property owners whose property situation changed as they bought, sold or transferred real estate by donation or parental provision in 2023, as well as those who want to correct their real estate information.

Depending on the type of omission or error, the taxpayer the increase in ENFIA can start from 20% and escalate to 90%.

The most frequent mistakes have to do with the listing of auxiliary spaces (warehouses, parking lots, etc.), which have a reduced ENFIA by 90% and must be declared separately. If the property is vacant and not electrified, it must be declared, while if a building within a farm is not declared as auxiliary, then its tax is increased fivefold! Unfinished buildings are 60% off

Particular attention must be paid to rights in rem as full ownership has a different weight and a small ownership or usufruct has another. In addition, if the percentage of co-ownership is not indicated, the system automatically considers that the property belongs entirely to the person filling in E9.

If the floor of an apartment is not filled, the system “voluntarily” “raises” it to the last one. The age, area and distance of the property from the sea must be filled in correctly, otherwise the bill “inflates even more”.

What should also be noted is that from the year 2013 it is mandatory to indicate the number of the electricity supply in the buildings of which the owner has full ownership or usufruct. From the year 2014 onwards, the fields relating to contract details such as the number and date of the contract or the VAT number of the notary must also be filled in.

The interested party enters his personal account on taxisenet and then in the E9 property register application. There he chooses the year for which he wants to make a correction and from the available actions the creation of an E9 statement.

After correcting the mistakes, if the new tax is reduced up to €300, then a new invoice is automatically issued.

Otherwise, the taxpayer is called to the relevant DOU to present the supporting documents certifying the reduction of the tax.

The notes of this year’s ENFIA will come earlier than any other time and in particular they are expected to be posted by April 15 at the latest.

The tax will have to be paid in 11 monthly installments starting from April 30 and ending on February 28, 2025.
