This thesis explores the evolution of the right to be heard (contraddittorio) in Italian tax law, focusing on the reforms introduced by Delegated Law No. 111/2023 and the subsequent Legislative Decree No. 219/2023, which amended the Taxpayer’s Statute (Law No. 212/2000). Chapter 1 examines the concept of the right to be heard within tax proceedings, highlighting how the reform recognizes it as a fundamental principle, not only under national law but also within the broader framework of European law. The delegated law outlines several guiding principles and criteria, including the protection of legitimate expectations, legal certainty, and alignment with the standards of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights. Chapter 2 focuses on the implementation of the reform. It analyzes the legislative changes made to the Taxpayer’s Statute, particularly the introduction of Article 6-bis, which must be read in conjunction with Article 12. Article 6-bis establishes that all independently challengeable acts must be preceded—under penalty of annulment—by an informed and effective dialogue with the taxpayer, except in cases involving automated acts or urgent collection needs. This reform significantly reshapes the tax assessment procedure: the tax authority must first send the taxpayer a draft of the act, allowing at least 60 days for comments or requests for access to documents. The final act must include a justification for any rejection of the taxpayer’s observations. Overall, the reform marks a pivotal step toward greater transparency and taxpayer participation, strengthening the relationship between the tax administration and citizens, and aligning Italy’s tax system with European standards of due process.
La presente tesi analizza l’evoluzione del principio del contraddittorio nel diritto tributario italiano, con particolare riferimento alle modifiche introdotte dalla legge delega n. 111/2023 e dal successivo D.Lgs. 219/2023, che ha riformato lo Statuto dei diritti del contribuente (L. 212/2000). Nel Capitolo 1, si esamina il concetto di contraddittorio nel procedimento tributario, evidenziando come la riforma fiscale abbia riconosciuto tale principio come fondamentale, non solo a livello nazionale ma anche europeo. La legge delega ha infatti previsto tra i principi e criteri direttivi la valorizzazione del legittimo affidamento, della certezza del diritto e dell’adeguamento del sistema tributario agli standard di tutela dell’Unione Europea. Il Capitolo 2 è dedicato all’attuazione della riforma. Viene analizzato l’intervento normativo che ha modificato lo Statuto del contribuente, introducendo l’articolo 6-bis, da leggere in combinato disposto con l’articolo 12. Il nuovo articolo 6-bis stabilisce che tutti gli atti autonomamente impugnabili devono essere preceduti, a pena di annullabilità, da un contraddittorio informato ed effettivo, salvo eccezioni per atti automatizzati o in caso di pericolo per la riscossione. Il procedimento di accertamento viene così profondamente rinnovato: l’Amministrazione finanziaria è tenuta a comunicare al contribuente uno schema di atto, concedendo almeno 60 giorni per presentare osservazioni o richiedere accesso agli atti. L’atto finale deve motivare l’eventuale mancato accoglimento delle osservazioni ricevute. Questa riforma segna un passaggio cruciale verso una maggiore trasparenza e partecipazione del contribuente nel procedimento tributario, rafforzando il dialogo tra Fisco e cittadino e avvicinando il sistema italiano agli standard europei di giusto processo.
Il diritto al contraddittorio nello statuto del contribuente: Alla luce della legge delega n. 111/23.

Abstract
This thesis explores the evolution of the right to be heard (contraddittorio) in Italian tax law, focusing on the reforms introduced by Delegated Law No. 111/2023 and the subsequent Legislative Decree No. 219/2023, which amended the Taxpayer’s Statute (Law No. 212/2000). Chapter 1 examines the concept of the right to be heard within tax proceedings, highlighting how the reform recognizes it as a fundamental principle, not only under national law but also within the broader framework of European law. The delegated law outlines several guiding principles and criteria, including the protection of legitimate expectations, legal certainty, and alignment with the standards of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights. Chapter 2 focuses on the implementation of the reform. It analyzes the legislative changes made to the Taxpayer’s Statute, particularly the introduction of Article 6-bis, which must be read in conjunction with Article 12. Article 6-bis establishes that all independently challengeable acts must be preceded—under penalty of annulment—by an informed and effective dialogue with the taxpayer, except in cases involving automated acts or urgent collection needs. This reform significantly reshapes the tax assessment procedure: the tax authority must first send the taxpayer a draft of the act, allowing at least 60 days for comments or requests for access to documents. The final act must include a justification for any rejection of the taxpayer’s observations.
