Common Mistakes

  • Non rimborsiamo mai questa tassa.

    Using *mai* (*Non rimborsiamo mai questa tassa*) changes the nuance to “we never refund this tax”, which sounds less formal and can be interpreted as a personal habit rather than a policy.

  • Non restituiamo questa tassa in nessun caso.

    *Restituire* is more often used for returning physical items; for money or fees *rimborsare* is the natural verb.

  • Non rimborsiamo questa tassa in nessuna caso.

    *Caso* is masculine, so the correct article is *nessun*, not *nessuna*.

Alternatives

  • Non restituiamo questa tassa in alcun caso.

    We do not return this tax in any case.

  • Non rimborsiamo questa imposta in nessuna circostanza.

    We do not refund this levy under any circumstance.

  • La tassa non è rimborsabile in nessun caso.

    The tax is non‑refundable under any circumstances.

Cultural Tip

In Italy many public fees (e.g., registration or administrative taxes) are legally non‑refundable, so companies often use a very formal, absolute phrasing like *in nessun caso*. Keep the tone polite but firm, and pair the sentence with a brief explanation if you need to soften the impact for the customer.
