Rickardo............. We europeans know 'soccer' as 'football' (!)..............and you will not be alone in shouting FORZA ITALIA!!!!

Apparently, itis not 'their' job to collect taxes, it is YOUR job to pay taxes (!!!!!!!!!!!!) Yes, it could be handled a tiny bit better blush, there is a facility on the bank that I'm with (Banca della Marche) whereby you can fill the F24 in online (after you have done the calculations. I have to say, if someone sends me a bill and I feel it is valid I pay it.
