The 2026 rates come from ISS circular 2187/UC/2026 of 22 April 2026, which cancels and replaces circular 1376/UC/2026 of 2 March 2026 and applies Law 157/2022 (pension reform) for 2026 (ISS circular 2187/UC/2026, p. 1).
Coverage for workers posted to or from another State follows the applicable social-security agreement; establish it before applying these rates. Income tax rates and credits are in sm-income-tax.

FONDISS for the self-employed, separate management and farmers is 4% of business or professional income, never on less than the minimum income for the first-pillar scheme (ISS circular 2187/UC/2026, p. 10).

Contributions. Apply the employee rates to the pensionable pay of a covered worker. The 7.80% is the employee's total ISS rate and already contains the 6.90% pension; FONDISS 2.50% is on top. So a covered employee pays 7.80% + 2.50% = 10.30% in cash. The employer's pension plus FONDISS is 17.60% + 2.50% = 20.10%; other employer funds and sector charges come on top and must be taken from the employer's ISS statement before quoting total employment cost.
Taxable wage. Taxable wage = gross pay and benefits less compulsory employee contributions deductible under IGR article 15 less the 7% forfait capped at 2,800 (IGR arts 15, 24(4)). The Tax Office calculator deducts 9.9%; use the payslip's actual deductible components, not the 10.30% cash figure (Tax Office IGR calculator).
Travel. Unreceipted travel costs paid by traceable means are excluded up to 15 a day (San Marino and Italy) or 30 a day (abroad excluding Italy); foreign-service allowances count at 75% (IGR art 24(3), replaced by DD 156/2026, art 8).
Withholding on account. The employer annualises the expected income at the bands, deducts the family credits and the SMaC credit the employee asks for (it can be partial) and withholds on account; medical and rent credits are left to the return (IGR art 101(4); IGR Annex E, art E3(3)). The year-end adjustment is collected by February of the following year (IGR art 101(5)). Termination payments and supplementary pensions follow their own routes (IGR art 101(3)).
Thirteenth month. A separate Christmas bonus payment is reported to ISS as month 13 with no hours or days worked; a December payslip that includes it uses the December flag (ISS circular 2187/UC/2026, pp. 1-3). Entitlement and amount come from the applicable collective agreement.
Self-employed. Contributions are on declared income, never below the category minimum, at the rates in section 2. Contributions are fully deductible from business income for IGR (IGR art 15).

| Remit IGR withheld from wages | Within the two-month period after the month of withholding or accrual | IGR art 125(1) |
| Transmit IGR G (income and withholding per employee) | 15 April following the year | IGR art 85(2) |
| Year-end withholding adjustment | By February of the following year | IGR art 101(5) |

| Self-employed refund requests | Only through the CONTRISS portal, from 1 March 2026 | ISS circular 2187/UC/2026, pp. 6-9 |
An employee with one employer and no other income does not file a return if the employer transmits IGR G on time (IGR arts 84-85).
Unpaid contributions (Regulation 24/2026 of 7 August 2026).
Withholding. Late remittance of IGR withheld carries interest at the legal rate plus 2 points (IGR art 128). If the employer neither withholds nor pays, the employee is jointly liable (IGR art 131). Penalties for failing to withhold or remit are in IGR articles 138-139.
sm-cross-border.A covered employee earns 3,000 a month, fully pensionable. Employee: ISS 7.80% = 234, FONDISS 2.50% = 75, total 309. Employer pension 17.60% = 528 plus FONDISS 75 = 603, before other employer funds.

A professional (footnote 1 category) declares 60,000. Pension: 24% of 50,294.28 = 12,070.63 plus 2% of the 9,705.72 excess = 194.11, total 12,264.74. Social security: 2% of income up to 50,294.28 = 1,005.89. FONDISS: 4% of 60,000 = 2,400. Total 15,670.63.
