Le Tour de Finance (Italy) 2013. Your last chance to register!

We can still reserve your place at the event if you contact us at infol@spectrum-ifa.com.  Bookings can be taken no later than Tuesday 24th September.

If you are interested in Tax Residency, then you might be interested in hearing Judith Ruddock from Studio Gaizo Picchioni.

Her topic will be:

Tax Residency- How to know if you are tax resident in Italy, or not, and the consequences, in either case. And a little bit of practical advice on what do to about it either way.

If you would like more details on events and times you can check out the Tour de Finance blog post.

Lighter penalties for failing to report foreign assets correctly.

Well, after my last blog post about the fiscal monitoring which is to now take place to a much greater degree regarding assets and money held in Italy and abroad there is some good news for a change.

Guardia di Finanza, are you on the radar?

For those of you who were not made aware, or those of you who had the unfortunate shock to learn that on last year’s tax return you would have to declare all average daily account balances on foreign current/savings accounts, foreign current account transactions between foreign/Italian banks and foreign/foreign accounts, and also the movements of money between investment accounts and investment/bank accounts on balances over 5000 EUR, you will be pleased to hear that in line with an EU Law this has now been overturned and you no longer have to supply the information about the movements of your capital on your annual RW.

Yippee, I hear you shout! 

But hang on for a second.  What the Guardia di Finanza gives with one hand they take with the other. 

As of 6^th August 2013, fiscal monitoring of transactions into and out of Italy, BUT also financial transactions taking place from one foreign account to another foreign account for Italian tax residents, will be raised to a whole new level.
