3.3.1. Tax and customs fraud prevention and control results

In 2014 the Tax Agency obtained €11,484.02 million as a direct result of its actions in prevention and control of fraud. This amount includes the incomes deriving from control actions carried out by the Tax Agency, along with the reductions of the returns requested by taxpayers as a consequence of verification actions carried out on them. In this tax year, these results incorporated the payments made by taxpayers charged in legal proceedings for offences against the Public Treasury for a total of 187 million euros.

The direct revenue from control actions amounted to 8,680.74 million euros. Refunds were reduced by 2,803.28 million euros, a figure which includes reductions made in response to applications for rectification of self-assessments.
