Expat Tax Grief

Not a week goes by these days, where I am not contacted by someone who has a question about their residency in Italy, and what that means for them fiscally. Either by people who are about to move to Italy or others who have already been living here for some time and want to become 'in regola'.

The conversation then naturally flows into the minutiae of exactly what are the taxes that need to be paid in Italy.

So, following on from my last blog post I thought I would write and explain those pesky taxes that apply to expats who have income being paid and/or assets held in other countries. I will repeat this towards the end of the year when some of you may be finalising your tax positions for 2014, but it may act as a good guide for those who are thinking about, or in the process of, doing something about their Italian tax returns for 2014.

Resident Evil!

Tax Residency is always one of those issues that raises it head in batches, from time to time. 

So, I thought I should clarify the matter again. 

A Place in the Sun - Birmingham NEC 2014

For those of you who are familiar with the UK TV programme, A Place in the Sun, you may be interested to know that they also hold a twice yearly exhibition in the UK to promote home ownership abroad (and flog a few houses in the process). 

The next one is in Birmingham from 3rd - 5th October 2014. I will be on a stand in the Italian forum doing a presentation on each of the 3 days to the attendees. The idea being, to try and advise expats before they move to Italy and help them to avoid the traps that many people fall into. 

Our French team will be presenting in the France forum.  

If you or anyone you know is in or near the Birmingham NEC on those dates and would like to attend I have some free tickets (Worth £10 each) and would be happy to send them on, if you just let me know by email on gareth.horsfall@spectrum-ifa.com
