Within client organizations, our primary contacts are typically General Management, the Finance & Tax departments, and, where present, the Property or Real Estate Manager. When needed, we also collaborate with the client’s technical consultants or tax advisors.

Our work is carried out before the Revenue Agency – Territorial Office (formerly the Land Registry), where we submit cadastral income variations using DOCFA procedures accompanied by sworn appraisal reports. Alternatively, we file requests for self-review (autotutela) to revise cadastral income. In cadastral tax litigation, our counterpart is always the Revenue Agency – Territorial Office, or the court-appointed expert (CTU) where appointed by the Tax Justice Court.

For cadastral income optimization, we interact exclusively with the Revenue Agency, not with the Municipality, which only applies its property tax rate to the defined cadastral income. However, the Municipality becomes our counterpart in cases involving property tax refunds, valuation of buildable areas, or requests for partial uninhabitability, always in the context of property tax.

Yes. From a formal standpoint, cadastral income optimization and property tax-related disputes with the Municipality are two separate and independent procedures. Cadastral income optimization is a technical-fiscal activity carried out before the Revenue Agency – Territorial Office, aimed at reducing the taxable base for property tax through the revision of the cadastral income (by submitting a DOCFA or a request for self-review). Municipal disputes, on the other hand, usually concern issues related to property tax rates, payment terms, or past amounts due, and involve the Municipality directly. Therefore, we can proceed with our optimization activities even while a municipal tax dispute is ongoing.

To obtain the best possible property tax savings (IMU), it is generally more effective to act first and file a single DOCFA containing our optimized cadastral income and supporting sworn appraisal. If a DOCFA has already been recently submitted, we can still intervene by filing a new correction. However, the Revenue Agency – Territorial Office may raise objections if two different income declarations are submitted within a short time frame, which could reduce the benefit compared to a single, consistent submission.

Absolutely. We can analyze any assessments you have received to identify legitimate and effective opportunities for opposition, assist in managing any ongoing dispute, or provide technical support to your appointed legal professionals.

No. Cadastral income optimization and real estate revaluation follow different methods and serve distinct purposes. As such, they are completely independent processes and do not interfere with each other.

Generally not, unless our due diligence identifies that the cadastral category recorded in the registry is incorrect. In any case, the change of category is always performed only with the Client’s prior authorization.

Our service is fully outsourced, minimizing the need for involvement from the Client’s internal resources—except during on-site inspections, where we ask to be accompanied by someone familiar with the property.
If the Client does not have immediate access to the few documents we require, we provide pre-filled authorizations to retrieve them directly via formal document requests.
Of course, the entire process is faster if the necessary documentation is readily available.

Yes. Following the submission of any DOCFA—regardless of who submits it—it is standard practice for the Revenue Agency – Territorial Office to have the power to initiate an audit. In our case, this means that after CfC files the new cadastral income and supporting sworn appraisal, the Agency may carry out a cadastral assessment. This typically involves sending a formal notice to the Client. In such cases, we ask the Client to promptly share it with us so we can evaluate the best course of action and, where appropriate, proceed with a cadastral tax dispute.

No. The Revenue Agency – Territorial Office may either validate or revise the proposed income right away, resulting in an immediate property tax savings (IMU) for the Client—without needing to initiate litigation. A cadastral tax dispute begins only if a formal challenge is made against the notice of revision or rejection of the proposed income. These cases may even be resolved without going to court. In any case, professional fees for litigation management are borne entirely by us, for all litigation stages deemed necessary to uphold our claims. The decision to proceed with litigation always rests with the Client.

For property tax savings (IMU), the success fee is invoiced only once the savings have been definitively confirmed—not upon submission of the new income, but upon validation. For property tax savings (IMU), the success fee is invoiced once the application has been accepted by the relevant authorities.
