Italian term or phrase: ravvedimento operoso
I've seen this translated as voluntary settlement - it that right in this context?

Qualora non si riuscisse a presentare la dichiarazione di successione nei termini ordinari, l’istituto del “ravvedimento operoso” prevede la corresponsione di una sanzione del 3,33% degli importi dovuti, se presentata entro 90 giorni dalla scadenza originaria, o del 3,75% se presentata entro un anno;

English translation:"voluntary correction or errors" procedure
Explanation:
Hi Sarah I have selected this item many times when filling out my F24 tax return form. Basically if you make a mistake this is a special procedure whereby you correct it voluntary by yourself, before the tax people discover it. The fine and penalties for the mistake (on my part usually a late payment - a few days or so) are greatly reduced.
There is no general "procedure" or term for this in the UK, but simply instructions:

Con il “ravvedimento” (art. 13 del Dlgs n. 472 del 1997 - pdf) è possibile regolarizzare omessi o insufficienti versamenti e altre irregolarità fiscali, beneficiando della riduzione delle sanzioni.

Working many years ago for an accountant in Milan with English clients, this accountant insisted on "Dutiful acknowledgement of ...." non paying a bill, a late return or in the absence of anything specific "... of one's own mistake".

However, there is already the active repentance remedy (“ravvedimento operoso”) for mistakes made by taxpayers; this aspect and the cash needs - aiming at hindering the application of safeguard clauses automatically provided by the European treaties, lead to have to accept a solution similar to the one adopted at the time of the tax shelter.
