An "L" less that will prevent the entrepreneur Massimo D'Alessio from paying a tax bill of 13 million and 928 thousand euros caused by missed VAT payments. The incredible story in Rome, where due to a notification error ongoing since 2007, that tax bill never reached its destination. The reason is the error in the address. Instead of via Carlo Porzio Biroli 52, on the Cassia, they ended up on via Renato Birolli 52, on the Prenestina. And for this reason, the Court of Tax Justice (in two levels of judgment) has declared the prescription of the contested executive title to Massimo D’Alessio, assisted by lawyers Fabio Calò and Giuseppina Tenga. Making the difference, therefore, was an extra "L", which transformed Biroli into Birolli.

Fines for 700 euros (and 36 points less on the license) for running a red light on Colombo. But she has never been to Rome, then the discovery

How the wrong notification was born

The story actually began in May 2022, when the Revenue Agency contested the entrepreneur the balance of the maxi-figure of almost 14 million due to the non-payment of fifteen tax bills and two assessments. Until that time, however, due to the error in the address, D'Alessio had not received anything. Trying to explain what happened, he discovered that in July 2007 he would have been notified of the folder at via Renato Birolli 52, where he did not reside.

And in fact, in that case, the entrepreneur's absolute unavailability was noted. From that moment, a mortgage registration and two interruptive acts were also sent. All at via Renato Birolli 52, the wrong one. "The notification was never perfected and the claim is prescribed being 10 years from the notification of the same", write the judges about the main folder. The same for the others.
