What is it?
It is a service for the payment of contributions that the employer is required to pay every three months to domestic workers. The payment methods are also described.
Listen to the podcast “Domestic workers: how hiring, contributions, holidays and thirteenth month’s payment work” (in Italian) on the “INPS on air” (in Italian) channel on the Spreaker platform.
Who is it aimed at?
The podcast is intended for employers of domestic workers with ongoing employment relationships.
How does it work?
INPS sends the employer pagoPA payment notices containing:
- the notice code;
- the amount to be paid;
- the date by which the payment is to be made;
- payment instructions.
Contribution payments must meet the following deadlines:
- from 1 to 10 April, first quarter;
- from 1 to 10 July, second quarter;
- from 1 to 10 October, third quarter;
- from 1 to 10 January, fourth quarter.
If the final day for payment falls on a Sunday or public holiday, the payment is deferred to the next working day.
INPS applies financial penalties in the event of late or missed payments.
For details of the contributions to be paid and the related tax benefits, please consult the page titled “Contributions and tax benefits” (in Italian).
PagoPA payment forms can be found only online through the Payment Portal accessible from this page. With these forms, the domestic employer can:
- generate and print the pagoPA Payment Notice;
- make the online payment with pagoPA by credit or debit card, bank transfer or other payment methods;
- view/print receipts for payments made.
You can also do these operations through:
- the Multichannel Contact Centre
- intermediaries authorised pursuant to Italian Law no. 12 of 11 January 1979.
You can make payments:
- online by credit or debit card, bank transfer or other payment methods, directly from the Payment Portal;
- at banks, post offices and other payment service providers (PSPs) participating in the pagoPA network, either in person or online, using the payment notice code, the QR code or the data matrix shown on the notice;
- via CBILL at banks where this service is available, with the interbank code AAQV6;
- with the IO app, using data from the Payment Notice received or displayed on the Payment Portal;
- with the Mobile INPS app.
The list of operators and channels enabled to receive payments via pagoPA is available on the dedicated website (in Italian).
Whichever method is chosen, the total amount due for the quarter — calculated on the basis of the data provided at the time of hiring or subsequently updated via the relevant notification — can be obtained using:
- the employer's tax identification code;
- the employment relationship code.
In case of changes (for example, working hours), you can edit and/or print a new pagoPA Payment Notice with the correct amounts.
Before confirming the amount, you can amend the details used in the calculation by:
- contacting an operator of the Multichannel Contact Centre;
- following the procedure indicated in case of online payment.
This will automatically redetermine the new total amount to be paid.
