From today, 14 October, the necessary procedure has been completed for the entry into force of the Convention between the Holy See and the Government of the Italian Republic in fiscal matters, signed in Vatican City on 1 April 2015, which promotes the exchange of information between the Holy See and Italy for fiscal purposes, and favours compliance with fiscal obligations for subjects fiscally resident in Italy.

The Convention therefore enters into force on 15 October 2016. Those who intend to adhere to the fiscal regime it establishes must submit the necessary request to the Institute for the Works of Religion within 180 days of the entry into force.
