Agenzia delle Entrate activates VeRa to list high-risk taxpayers

AI system

System: Ve.R.A. (Verifica dei Rapporti Finanziari)
Model: Not assessed
Release: Not assessed
Application developer: Agenzia delle Entrate, Settore Analisi del rischio, Divisione Contribuenti (no vendor named)
Role: Not assessed
Configuration: Not assessed
Inputs and outputs: Not assessed
Autonomy: Not assessed
Workflow: A legal basis (Law 160/2019 and the decree of 28 June 2022) permitting cross-matching of the financial-relationships archive with tax data under Garante safeguards.
Human oversight: Not assessed
Relation to AI: Agenda Digitale calls the application AI-based and Fiscomania describes risk analysis over cross-matched data. Neither gives the technique or any result, so the algorithm's contribution cannot be assessed. The Agenzia both runs and, as far as the sources show, operates the system in-house.
