Payment of Tax Assessment Notice

The Roll is a list of debtors and the amounts they owe, compiled by the Tax Office. The Tax Authorities may include debts within their jurisdiction in the Roll if the debtor has failed to do so by the deadline specified in the regulations. The Roll serves as an enforceable title, as it pertains to debts that are certain, liquid, and collectible.

Payment of Tax Assessment Notice 

Payment of the Tax Assessment Notice must be made by the deadline specified in the notice. If the due date falls on a holiday, the last day for payment is the first working day after the due date. For all purposes, Saturday, Dec. 24, and Saturday, Dec. 31, will be considered holidays. Payments for amounts listed on the Tax Roll must be made according to the instructions on the Tax Collection Notice, either at the counters of San Marino post offices and banks or via bank transfer. The State Tax Department will issue a receipt for each payment made on amounts listed on the Tax Roll.

Deferment of payment

Debtors with taxes listed in the Roll amounting to at least 2,000.00 euros have the right to request a deferral from the State Tax Department.

The threshold for taxes eligible for deferral may be modified by Royal Decree. The granting of deferred payment, the repayment plan, duration, interest rates, and required guarantees are regulated by Royal Decree 39 of 2004, Article 11 of Decree Law 31 of 2012, and Law 70 of 2004.

Article 6 of Decree No. 39 of 2004 specifies the acceptable guarantees:

  • the bank guarantee;
  • the mortgage on real estate in the debtor's name, where capacious, for debts not less than 50,000 euros.

The Central Bank also considers suitable, subject to verification of regularity and authenticity:

  • the pledge on a passbook;
  • the promissory note with the endorsement of a San Marino bank, finance company or trust company (not exceeding euro 10,000 for the last two);
  • the surety issued by a financial company or trust company;
  • other forms of guarantee other than those indicated above and evaluated as acceptable from time to time by Management.

The following forms of guarantee are not recognized as eligible, and therefore will not be accepted:

  • promissory note without endorsement or endorsed by parties other than a bank, financial institution or trustee;
  • personal surety bond;
  • pledge of debt securities (such as stocks, bonds, etc.).

Registry of debtors

Movable Assets:

The State Tax Department is responsible for organizing and managing auctions of movable assets, which are held as a result of seizures and the removal of seized goods.

The auction process involves assessing all assets under the Bank's control due to foreclosures, preparing the auction notice, distributing it to all residents in the territory, and publishing it on the Bank's website.

All interested parties, including the taxpayer whose assets were seized, may participate in the auctions. The taxpayer has the right of first refusal at the same price, provided that the purchase will settle their debt.

The assets, typically stored in a warehouse, can be viewed by potential buyers in the days leading up to the auction.

Real estate:

The sale shall be conducted exclusively by public auction with or without auction, including by methods other than three candles.
