News From Italy – Recent Updates to Inbound Workers Regime and Register of Beneficial Owners

This month, the good news regarding special tax regimes in Italy relates to the flat tax. No changes are expected to the regime as Italy finishes its legislative session. The €100,000 flat tax remains intact. Good news also exists for the lesser known Pensioners Regime that imposes a 7% substitute tax on all pension payments paid on non-Italian source pension income if certain conditions are met. However, cutbacks in benefits and more stringent standards for qualification have been announced regarding the Inbound Workers Regime. In addition, the Register of Beneficial Owners of enterprises with legal personality, private legal entities, trusts, and similar legal arrangements has become operational at local Italian Chamber of Commerce offices. Andrea Tavecchio, the Founder and Senior Partner of Tavecchio & Associati, Tax Advisers, Milan, and Alessandro Carovigno, a chartered accountant at Tavecchio & Associati, Tax Advisers, Milan, explain the revisions to the Inbound Workers Regime and the information that must be filed with the Beneficial Owner Register. They also address the persons obligated to file with the Register and the persons who have access to the information filed with the Register.
