A clear request addressed to Palazzo San Giacomo: to allow citizens and businesses to settle their accounts with the local tax authorities without the burden of interest and penalties. This is the heart of the motion presented by City Councilor Bianca Maria D'Angelo, a member of the Insieme per Napoli – Lega group, who urges the City of Naples to immediately participate in the so-called "scrapping-quinquies" program provided for in the 2026 Budget Law.
The proposal concerns unpaid municipal taxes between 2020 and 2023, years marked first by the pandemic and then by the energy crisis and widespread price increases. Taxes such as IMU, TARI, and the Single Fee are targeted. "The government has recognized the country's real difficulties," says D'Angelo, "now it's up to the city administration to do its part. I ask the mayor and all political forces, regardless of political affiliation, to vote for this measure for the good of Neapolitans."
The councilor also criticizes the collection methods adopted recently. "Adopting the simplified settlement," she argues, "is not only a choice of fairness, but also of administrative responsibility. It allows for the recovery of certain revenues, eases the burden of litigation, and halts the enforcement procedures that are crushing many citizens."
The document emphasizes the urgency of rapidly approving the necessary regulations and, in the meantime, suspending enforcement actions on debts that could be covered by the measure, such as foreclosures and administrative seizures. "It is essential to act now," D'Angelo concludes, "so as not to leave Neapolitan taxpayers behind the rest of Italy."

It's important for the City of Naples to consider this proposal, but there are other factors to consider. Citizens need to be well-informed about how to access these benefits and avoid confusion.
