    Round Up Or Round Down. ehhh?

    Just went to pay one of my bills online and got this message:


    In base all'art.1 comma 166 della Legge 27/12/2006 n. 296 (Legge Finanziaria) il pagamento dei tributi locali (tra cui l'ICI) deve essere effettuato con arrotondamento all'euro per difetto se la frazione è inferiore o uguale a 49 centesimi (es. 100,49 diventa 100,00) ovvero per eccesso se superiore a detto importo (es. 100,50 diventa 101,00).
    Pertanto ti invitiamo a controllare i bollettini relativi al pagamento dell'ICI e degli altri tributi presenti nel carrello ed eventualmente modificarne l'importo secondo quanto indicato dalla Legge Finanziaria.

    So if the bill is €101.49 cents or less i should only pay €101.00 but if it's €101.50 or more i should pay €102.00

    I don't get it. why dont they just send me a bill for the correct amount instead of me having to modify the amount im going to pay?

    I'm all for paying less but if my bill was €101.50 why should i have to pay 50 cents more?

    Can anyone explain this crazy method in madness?

    Maybe they have such an antiquated system that it can't process decimals :) I'm not really sure why on Earth they would do that other than to give people a headache.
