The tax relief provides that such income is taxable to the extent of 30% to 10% for the first five years, and with the possibility to tax the income from 50% to 10% for the next five years only if certain conditions apply.

For workers who have transferred their tax residence in Italy before April 30, 2019, it is necessary to verify the presence of the requirements of the previous version of the tax relief.
