DWF advises MES in tax litigation before the Lazio Tax Justice Court regarding the alleged failure to serve the tax audit report (PVC)

07 July 2026
DWF, the global provider of integrated legal and business services, advised MES, a leading construction company, in tax litigation concerning the failure to serve the Tax Audit Report (Processo Verbale di Constatazione – PVC) before the Lazio Tax Justice Court.

The Second-Instance Lazio Tax Justice Court upheld MES’s appeal, overturning the first-instance decision that had dismissed the company’s challenge against a tax assessment notice issued without prior service of the PVC.

In particular, the Court held that the finality of the assessment against a third-party company, distinct from the appellant and to which the PVC had been served, does not automatically produce effects vis-à-vis MES. The Court confirmed that MES is entitled to challenge the findings originally raised against the inactive taxpayer.

DWF acted with a team comprising Counsel Giangiuseppe Corigliano and Associate Dalila Bonfissuto.
