FORZA ITALIA !!!

I have on occasion criticised this forum and have been truly shot down by long standing member(s).

, 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. It is just the ridiculous mess of understanding the calculations and THEN..............adjusting it to accommodate their 'new' calculations which are to be made in September !! It's a good un !! S
