Taxation for Individuals

Taxation for Individuals

Personal tax planning, residency, and compliance for individuals in Italy and in cross-border situations. Support for tax residents and non-residents.

Our Approach

Whether you are relocating to Italy, already tax-resident, or earning Italian-sourced income from abroad, we provide clear guidance on your obligations and opportunities. We help you understand residency rules, optimize your position under double tax treaties, and meet filing deadlines to avoid penalties. Our team handles tax returns, residency certificates, and planning for entry or exit from the Italian tax system.

We support individuals and families with strategic planning for international assignments, cost analysis, and payroll coordination across borders. For non-residents, we focus on taxation of Italian income, recovery of withheld taxes, and correct application of double taxation conventions. We also assist with exit tax planning and documentation required by Italian and foreign authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about taxation for individuals

Who is considered tax resident in Italy?

You are generally tax resident in Italy if you are registered in the Italian population register (anagrafe), have your residence in Italy for more than 183 days in the tax year, or have your principal center of economic interests in Italy. We can help you determine your status and plan accordingly.

How do double taxation conventions work?

Italy has treaties with many countries to avoid taxing the same income twice. The convention determines which country may tax specific types of income and how to claim relief. We assist with correct application and with obtaining certificates and refunds where applicable.

What is exit tax?

When you cease to be tax resident in Italy, certain gains (e.g. on substantial shareholdings or other assets) may be subject to exit tax. Planning in advance can help you understand the impact and meet reporting obligations in Italy and in your new country of residence.

Can I recover Italian tax withheld at source?

Yes. Non-residents who receive Italian-sourced income may be entitled to a refund of withheld tax under a double tax treaty or domestic provisions. We help you gather the required documentation and file the refund claim.
