Insured for over 10 million euros
Who can benefit
The service is intended for Italian and international companies with employees or collaborators working from abroad, as well as for full remote workers seeking clarity on taxation and social security obligations.
It is particularly relevant where work is performed in a country different from the employer’s place of business, with implications for income taxation, contribution obligations, and compliance with local and international regulations.
Examples include:
- a UK- based employee relocating to Italy while maintaining employment with a British employer;
- a foreign company allowing its employees to work remotely from Italy;
- an Italian company employing workers permanently or temporarily abroad in full remote arrangements.

Timing
Advice on full remote work abroad is recommended at any stage of the employment relationship, but particularly before starting remote work abroad, to set up the correct tax and social security framework and avoid future issues.
It is strongly advised when there are changes in the duration of stay abroad, country of work, employee duties, or organisational structure, as these factors can affect tax residence, income taxation, or permanent establishment risk.
The service is also useful for ongoing remote work to verify compliance, identify risks, and prepare regularisation plans or defensive documentation in case of inspections by tax or social security authorities.
When is advice on working remotely abroad necessary?
Incorrect management of full remote work abroad can have significant tax and social security consequences for both employers and employees, including the risk of double taxation, penalties for incorrect tax residence, and unfulfilled declaration and contribution obligations.
For companies, misclassifying remote work abroad can also trigger the creation of an undeclared permanent establishment, leading to taxation in the host country, fines, and potential international disputes.
A proactive approach reduces such risks, ensuring compliance with Italian and international law, correct application of double tax treaties, and efficient management of cross-border employment, protecting both companies and employees.
