Tax Assistance Centre
Plain English
It's a tax-assistance centre that helps individuals and families with paperwork like ISEE, 730, pension applications, and rental contracts. Many services are free if you fall in a target category, others cost a small fee.
Why it matters
If your situation is simple, a CAF can save you the cost of a commercialista and still get the job done. They\'re the most common first stop for ISEE and 730.
Real example
"To prepare her 730 in Caltanissetta, Yara booked a free appointment at a CAF. She brought receipts and her CU, and the office filed the return for her by the deadline."
Common confusion
CAFs are not the same as a commercialista. For complex situations like partita IVA, business income, or appeals, a commercialista is usually a better fit.
