Italian term

ritenute non operate/non versate

Italian to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs
In the context of a dispute with the tax man, a company is being penalised for two different types of activity:
soprattassa del 20% per ritenute non operate per Lire...
soprattassa del 50% per ritenute non versate per Lire...
I think the second is a surcharge of 50% for unpaid taxes withheld at source, but I don't know what the first would be. Any ideas?
thanks

withholding tax not withheld / not paid

I think the first means that he didn't apply the tax by not withholding it from the salary/invoice whatever, and the second that he didn't pay the tax he should have withheld.

deductions at source failing be made/failing to be paid over

The prep. in the second case should denote that the tax has been withheld but not paid over the tax authorities.

'1 i) failing to make tax deductions from source deduction payments; or (ii) having made such deductions, have *failed to account for them* to the Commissioner. ...'
Peer comment(s):

disagree Grace Anderson : It's not one or the other - it's both for not withholding it and not paying what he should have withheld.
