Italian tax collection agency Equitalia on Friday cancelled a hefty fine sent to a 12-year-old boy living in Fasano in the southern Puglia region in connection with unpaid car tax dating to three years before he was born. The fine amounting to 1,138.77 euros - was lifted \"on receipt of a letter from the boy\'s father and subsequent checks that led to the discovery of the mistake\", Equitalia said in a statement. The error occurred after the tax authorities incorrectly matched the boy\'s tax code to another person of the same name, the real owner of the car.
