The Treasury monitors citizens' bank transfers and has set a limit on the amount to be transferred of €10,000 (€6,000 online). If the Treasury realizes that this limit has been exceeded, it could face a significant fine that could range from €600 to €150,000.
If you do not declare to the tax office that you have overpaid, you may be penalized between 2% and 25% of the undeclared amount. Remember that the Treasury closely monitors all moves to avoid tax evasion problems. To avoid these situations, Law No. 10/2010 dated April 28-Set locker limits that you cannot exceed.
For example, in the case of transfer between family members, the allowed limit cannot exceed 6,000 euros. Of course, from the transfer of 3,000 euros, the Treasury can start an investigation against you. You will be asked for information regarding the source of funds, the reason for the transfer, and any other necessary information.
