Italy offers several attractive flat tax regimes for retirees, high-net-worth individuals, and freelancers looking to establish residency in the country. Whether you’re a pensioner seeking a lower tax rate on foreign income, an investor exploring Italy’s fixed annual tax option, or a freelancer wanting to take advantage of reduced tax obligations under the regime forfettario, these programs can make relocating financially beneficial. With potential tax rates as low as 5% for small business owners and a flat 7% for retirees moving to Southern Italy, these incentives offer significant savings compared to the standard progressive tax system. However, factors like eligibility rules, income thresholds, and visa requirements for non-EU citizens should be carefully considered to determine which program best fits your situation. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast hosted by Italian attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat podcaster, Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about how these tax regimes work, who qualifies, and how they can benefit those looking to make Italy their home.For help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team, you can use the contact form on the Italian Real Estate Lawyers website: https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/Also to see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual citizen check out his YouTube channel and website:http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.comTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:41 - Tax Residency in Italy2:26 - 7% Flat Tax Regime for Pensioners5:00 - Minimums/Maximums for the 7% Flat Tax Regime6:42 - Flat Tax Regime for High-Net-Worth Individuals9:51 - Flat Tax Regime for Freelancers12:29 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
