Why apply for the Italian Tax Regime for Impatriates

Foreign or Italian workers who decide to move or return to Italy will have access to large exemptions on income compensation. This includes employment, self-employment or business activity.

The impatriate tax regime is applicable for 5 tax periods with possible extension from 8 to 10 years, but only if specific requirements are met.

The tax regime for impatriate workers in Italy has great advantages for both companies and taxpayers.
