Accountant and CAF services for Nichelino
Looking for an accountant in Nichelino? The practice is based in Turin, at via Sant'Antonino 52, and is not open to the public: we work by appointment. From Nichelino most matters are completed by video call, without making the trip.
01 · Pensions and support
The declarations INPS asks for every year
Anyone receiving an income-linked benefit from INPS (the Italian social security institute) is periodically asked to confirm their situation. It produces no refund: it only serves to keep what you are already receiving. And the consequence of not replying is not a fine, it is the suspension of the payment.
ICRIC
Concerns residential care: it affects the attendance allowance when the care home fees are paid entirely from public funds.
ICLAV
Concerns work: some welfare benefits are incompatible with working, others are not.
ACC.AS/PS
For people receiving the assegno sociale (social allowance): confirms that the residence requirements are still met and states any residential care.
If your pension slip has gone down without explanation, the most frequent cause is one of these declarations not being filed. It can be put right by filing it even late, and the benefit is restored: the sooner you act, the larger the share of arrears you can recover.
02 · The measures
Inclusion allowance and other benefits
Almost all income support measures depend on a valid ISEE (the Italian means-test indicator). It is the document that determines access, and its expiry on 31 December is the most ordinary reason payments stop.
- Assegno di inclusione (inclusion allowance): requires a member of the household in a vulnerable situation (a minor, a person with a disability, someone aged sixty or over), in addition to the financial requirements.
- Electricity, gas and water bonuses: they appear on your bill by themselves, with no application, as long as the ISEE exists and is below the threshold.
- Assegno Unico (the universal child allowance): without an ISEE it is paid at the minimum rate, with a difference over the year that matters.
- Current ISEE: when a job has ended or income has fallen, it updates the indicator on the last few months instead of two years ago.
- Nichelino municipal calls: rent support and relief on local taxes, with their own deadlines and rankings.
When the ordinary ISEE does not describe you
The indicator looks at income from two years earlier. If everything has changed in the meantime, it is no use.
- A job that has ended, or a move to a shorter contract
- A significant drop in total household income
- The current ISEE updates the income part on the last few months
- It is valid for a shorter time and must be renewed more often, but it can bring you below the thresholds
03 · The 730
Tax returns for Nichelino residents
Even people with modest income often gain from filing one: it is where you recover expenses paid during the year, and in many cases the result is a refund.
- The 730 return (the Italian tax return for employees and pensioners), with the balance settled through your payslip or pension slip.
- 730 without a withholding agent for people whose job has ended and who have no new one: the refund is paid by the Agenzia delle Entrate (the Italian Revenue Agency) straight into your account.
- Documents: the checklist split between what everyone needs and what you need only if it applies to you.
- Deductions: medical expenses, rent, expenses for children, contributions for domestic workers and carers.
- Pre-filled return: what it already contains and what needs adding.
Anyone filing the 730 without a withholding agent must have an IBAN registered in their personal area on the Agency's website: without it, the refund does not go out and a payment order is issued instead, taking much longer. It is the step that most affects how quickly the refund arrives.
04 · Local rules
What depends on the Comune di Nichelino
Some obligations depend on the Comune (municipality) where you live and not on Turin. It is worth knowing which ones, because that is where the differences arise.
| Item | Who decides | Note |
|---|---|---|
| IMU (municipal property tax) | Comune di Nichelino | Its own rates and allowances, a specific authority code on the F24 (the Italian tax payment form) |
| Municipal surcharge | Comune di Nichelino | Rate and exemption threshold set locally |
| School meals, nursery, school transport | Comune di Nichelino | ISEE bands set locally |
| Waste charge | Comune di Nichelino | Reductions linked to ISEE under the local regulation |
| Rent support | Comune and Regione (the region) | Calls with their own deadlines and rankings |
| Assegno Unico and social bonuses | National law | The same everywhere, not dependent on the Comune |
| ISEE | National law | The certificate is valid in the same way throughout Italy |
05 · In practice
Accountant and CAF for Nichelino, near Turin, without travelling
The office at via Sant'Antonino 52 is not open to the public and you come in only by agreed appointment. But the usual route is a different one.
Write
A couple of lines about what you need. We reply within one working day with the steps and the list of documents.
Prepare
Almost everything can be downloaded with SPID (the Italian digital identity). If you do not have a digital identity, it is the first thing to sort out: you need it every year.
Appointment
By video call, in an agreed time slot. At the office only when the matter really requires it.
Completion
Filing receipts and ready-filled F24 forms arrive by email. Nothing to collect.
If the deadline on a letter runs out within a few days, it is better to phone than to write: the form on the website has a response time of one working day, and with some deadlines a day matters.
Frequently asked
The questions that keep coming up
My pension was reduced without warning. Why?
The most frequent cause is an annual declaration that was not filed: modello RED, ICRIC or ICLAV. INPS suspends the income-linked portions while it waits for a reply.
It can be put right by filing the declaration even late: the benefit is restored. Bring your pension slip and any letter you received; from there the cause is almost always clear.
I have lost my job. Can I redo my ISEE?
Yes, with the current ISEE, which updates the income part on the last few months instead of on income from two years earlier.
It requires a documented change in your work situation. It is often the current ISEE that brings the indicator below the thresholds for support.
I work as a carer. Who files my tax return?
A household employer is not a sostituto d'imposta (withholding agent), so the return is filed as a 730 without a withholding agent: the refund is paid by the Agency straight into your account.
The dedicated page also explains the employer's side: quarterly contributions, contract and end-of-employment settlement.
Is the CAF available if I do not live in Turin?
Yes. The Centro Raccolta Dati of CAF CGN operates nationwide: where you live does not limit access to the service.
What changes with your Comune of residence are the local rates and regulations applied in the procedure, not whether you can use the practice.
