Tax Services for New Italian Residents

Relocating to Italy requires more than just a visa and a place to live — it means entering a new and often complex tax system. Understanding your obligations, accessing available incentives, and ensuring compliance from the outset is essential to avoid risks and make the most of your move.

Our firm offers specialized tax consulting for individuals who are becoming Italian tax residents, with a focus on international profiles. Whether you are moving for work, investment, retirement, or family reasons, we help you structure your financial life in line with Italian regulations while minimizing unnecessary tax burdens.

Strategic Tax Planning for Inbound Individuals

We begin by assessing your tax residency status under Italian domestic law and double taxation treaties. Becoming a tax resident in Italy implies that you are subject to taxation on your worldwide income. That’s why it is crucial to:

Map your global income sources (salaries, pensions, dividends, rental income, etc.);
Identify potential foreign tax credits;
Review your current asset and investment structures;
Coordinate your move from a timing and planning perspective to avoid unintended tax consequences.

Access to Special Tax Regimes

Italy offers a number of favorable tax regimes designed to attract talent, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals:

New Resident Regime (Art. 24-bis TUIR): A flat tax of €200,000 per year on all foreign-sourced income, regardless of amount, available for individuals who have not been tax resident in Italy for at least 9 of the previous 10 years.
Incentives for inbound workers (Art. 16 D.lgs. 147/2015): A 50% (or higher) tax exemption on income earned in Italy by individuals who transfer their tax residence and work for an Italian company or are self-employed.
Researchers and professors regime: A 90% tax exemption on Italian income for eligible individuals working in academia or research institutions.

We help you determine whether these regimes apply to your case, handle the application process, and manage all related communications with the tax authorities.

Ongoing Tax Compliance and Support

After your relocation, we remain at your side to ensure your continued compliance:

Registration with the Italian tax authority and issuance of your codice fiscale;
Filing of annual income tax returns (Modello Redditi) including worldwide income reporting;
Filing of foreign asset declarations (Quadro RW) and assistance with the payment of wealth taxes on foreign real estate (IVIE) and financial assets (IVAFE);
Inheritance and gift tax planning, tailored to your cross-border family and asset structures;
Coordination with your foreign advisors to ensure alignment with the rules of your country of origin.

Our goal is to simplify your integration into the Italian tax system while protecting your assets, reducing risks, and making your relocation a financially sustainable success.
