This webinar will address primary tax and immigration considerations for U.S. taxpayers, UK non-doms, and doms considering relocating from their current country to Italy. Our panel of astute global taxation and immigration advisers from the U.S., UK, and Italy will discuss the relative taxes that come into play with such a move, outline the various ways of obtaining immigration status and citizenship in Italy, and offer advice to mitigate and circumvent relative taxes.

Description

Individuals from the U.S. and the UK contemplating a move to Italy should consider the tax and immigration consequences in both countries. The U.S. and the UK have double tax treaties with Italy to mitigate double taxation for eligible taxpayers. The definition of residence is key to determining whether an individual is subject to tax in Italy.

An individual is considered an Italian resident for tax purposes if, for the greater part of the fiscal year (i.e. for more than 183 days) taking into account even fractions of days if: (1) the individual is physically present on Italian territory, (2) the individual has a "residence" in Italy (habitual abode), or (3) the individual has a "domicile" in Italy (principal centre of social interests, e.g. the family). If one of these conditions is met, the individual qualifies as a tax resident for Italian tax purposes. Where an individual is an Italian tax resident, they can avail themselves of one of several advantageous taxation regimes, ranging from a lump sum to favorable tax rates.

In addition, an individual can obtain the right to reside in Italy through various means, such as citizenship in Italy or another EU member state, investment, or as a digital nomad.

Listen as our panel of international tax and immigration attorneys explains tax considerations of U.S. and UK residents considering moving to Italy.
