The Cass. trib. judgment No. 7442 of 20 March 2024 ruled that a transfer of securities and money implemented through a bank, although it may be considered void from a civil law point of view, has a different treatment for tax purposes and if “confessed” as part of a tax assessment proceeding, gives rise to the obligation to pay gift tax. The ruling also proposes a reinterpretation of the entire category of indirect donations and contains a latent criticism of the approach of the 2017 judgement of the Cassation at United Sections suggesting to reconsider the qualification of transfers of securities and money through banks as direct donations with indirect execution (requiring the solemn form for their validity), and their qualification in terms of indirect donations.
La sentenza Cass. trib. 20 marzo 2024, n. 7442 ha statuito che un trasferimento di titoli e denaro attuato attraverso banca, sebbene possa essere considerato nullo dal punto di vista civilistico, ha un diverso trattamento a fini tributari e se “confessato” nell’ambito di un procedimento di accertamento dei tributi, fa sorgere l’obbligazione di pagare l’imposta di donazione. La pronuncia propone anche una rilettura dell’intera categoria delle “liberalità indirette” e contiene una latente critica all’impostazione delle Sezioni Unite del 2017 suggerendo la riqualificazione dei trasferimenti di titoli e denaro a mezzo banca quali donazioni indirette anziché dirette ad esecuzione indiretta (e dunque necessitanti della forma solenne per la loro validità).

Abstract
The Cass. trib. judgment No. 7442 of 20 March 2024 ruled that a transfer of securities and money implemented through a bank, although it may be considered void from a civil law point of view, has a different treatment for tax purposes and if “confessed” as part of a tax assessment proceeding, gives rise to the obligation to pay gift tax. The ruling also proposes a reinterpretation of the entire category of indirect donations and contains a latent criticism of the approach of the 2017 judgement of the Cassation at United Sections suggesting to reconsider the qualification of transfers of securities and money through banks as direct donations with indirect execution (requiring the solemn form for their validity), and their qualification in terms of indirect donations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
