Information of 2020 Budget
By cilpitalia NEWS 23 February 2020
As is now well known, all expenses resulting from the 19% tax discount in the tax return, starting in 2020, will no longer be able to be made with the use of cash, subject to the loss of the deduction itself.
With this article we will try to understand the scope of the rule and the effect it will have on end consumers, bearing in mind that in fact it has already come into force, since it concerns the deductibility of expenditure made from 1 January 2020.
Essentially, the 2020 Budget Act stipulates that from January 1, 2020, the 19% deduction for Irpef purposes is due to the fact that the expenditure is incurred through traceable payment instruments.
In the first analysis, since as mentioned The rule that has come into force from 1 January 2020, it is important to point out that it is already in place and therefore it is necessary to be careful to carry out these expenses with traceable payment instruments, if you do not want to lose the deduction in the tax return for the year 2020 (which will then be prepared in 2021).
As a result, this rule will also result in the re-retention of the traceable payment copy.
But above all, it is also important to understand what expenditures fall under the obligations imposed by the new legislation, which focuses on the commissions 679 and 680 of Law 160 of 27 December 2019, and that is what I will try to do in this article.
Let’s take a closer look at the new legislation
Section 679 of Article 679. 1 of the 2020 Budget Act stipulates that “For the purposes of personal income tax, The deduction from gross tax to the extent of 19 per cent of the charges outlined in Article 15 of the Single Income Tax Text, referred to in the decree of the President of the Republic 22 December 1986, No 917, and in other regulatory provisions rests on the condition that the burden is borne by bank or postal payment or by other payment systems provided by Article 23 of the Legislative Decree 9 July 1997, No. 241″.
The first thing to clarify is that the new rule on the traceability of tax deductions relates to deductions under art. 15 of the TUIR, so tax deductions are excluded under the other items of the TUIR (e.g. eco-bonus, restructuring bonuses, etc… but also fixed ones and not at percentage ex art. 16, such as those for rentals).
The following paragraph 680 of Art. 1 of the 2020 Budget Act stipulates that “The provision in paragraph 679 does not apply to deductions in relation to the costs incurred for the purchase of medicines and medical devices, as well as deductions for health services provided by public facilities or private facilities accredited to the National Health Service.”
Before you see the full list of tax deductions under art. 15 of the TUIR with an obligation to trace, I also find it useful to clarify what are these new methods of payment mandatory in order to be able to enjoy the 19% tax deduction on the expenditure incurred.
Art. 23 of D. Lgs. 241/1997 indicated in the 2020 Budget Act relates to “Payment by means other than cash” and essentially establishes that the allowed payment methods are:
debit cards or ATMs;
bank and circular cheques;
other traceable payment systems such as wire transfer.
These payment methods, with the necessary preservation of the copy or evidence of the traceable payment, next to the expense voucher (talking receipt or invoice or receipt, etc.), allow the taxpayer to benefit from the deduction 19% tax on sustained expenditure.
Through art. 15 of the TUIR, we try to understand all deductions affected by the obligation to pay traceable or prohibit the cash payment of the expense for the purpose of the deduction.
Tax deduction 19% for interest expense first home mortgages.

In the opinion of the writer, it is therefore quite evident the rigidity of the rule in question, which in fact revolutionizes the world of deductions, including a limit for those with high incomes.
But beyond that, payments with traceable systems would now seem to be the only way to be recognized the deductions of the expenses listed above, with the only and exclusive exceptions of the purchase of medicines and medical devices, and the services rendered by public facilities or private facilities accredited to the National Health Service.
But it is precisely with regard to these two exceptions that we need to pay more attention, hoping as soon as possible that a circular from the Internal Revenue Service will intervene: in fact, it is not at all clear whether homeopathic medicines, veterinary medicines, preparations are included in the waiver (and therefore payable in cash).
Therefore in doubt and pending official clarification, the advice is to act in any case with prudence and also pay such expenses with traceable payment tools.
