Starting from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rulings in the cases of Italgomme, Agrisud, as well as Ferrieri and Bonassisa, this article highlights the main critical issues of the current legal framework governing tax inspection powers, particularly in light of the inadequate level of safeguards afforded to taxpayers.

L’articolo, muovendo dalle sentenze della Corte Edu sui casi Italgomme, Agrisud, nonché Ferrieri e Bonassisa, mette in luce le principali criticità dell’attuale disciplina dei poteri ispettivi del fisco, vieppiù tenuto conto dell’insufficiente livello di garanzie che, invece, spettano al contribuente. L’Autore, si sofferma quindi sui caratteri necessari dell’intervento normativo richiesto dalla Corte Edu.
