Becoming a Tax Resident of Italy

Italy has long been viewed as an attractive place to live for its climate, cuisine, culture and history. Now it is possible to add taxation to that list, as the country introduces a more advantageous tax regime for foreign workers, pensioners and high-net-worth individuals.

Our lawyers across Italy help clients with becoming tax resident in Italy. Through an initial consultation, we are able to determine the best options given a client’s unique set of circumstances. This is determined by where they choose to settle, what the choose to do with their time, how they invest, and whether they bring a family with them.

Certain workers will be entitled to a reduced exposure to tax ranging from 70% to as much as 90% for those who settle in certain regions of southern Italy. Certain retirees can opt for a 7 percent annual flat tax on all overseas income with exclusions for properties outside Italy. High-net-worth individuals are also eligible for a flat-rate of €100,000 each year.

As with all tax, there is lots of nuance and so it is vital to engage with our attorneys to discuss your circumstances so they can advise of the best strategy for you.

Thanks to them for handling my E2 visa very professionally. I had a study visa from F1 and changed it to E2. I encountered many problems during the application process. Verdie and Etta were very patient in helping me and it took a long time. I highly recommend this place.
