Tax matters...

Every year I like to run a summary of the tax laws which mainly affect us and any proposed changes. There will also be some changes for UK home owners, post Brexit, which I will touch on and the proposed changes to the existing tax rates and the potential tax incentives.

Sono un cittadino Italiano

 

Well, before I start this blog I thought I should let you know that I am now a citizen of Italy.

The No Deal Checklist

As you are probably well aware, I am part of the group British in Italy which was set up to campaign to protect the rights of British citizens in Italy post Brexit. I am very proud to say that one of the members of this group has put together a very comprehensive list (non-exhaustive) of things that you may need to do to prepare for a No Deal Brexit scenario, which after today's meeting in Brussels, seems to be becoming an ever-closer reality. 

Preparing 'THE' folder

Living in a foreign country is never easy, but have you thought how complicated it would be for your family if you die suddenly? 

My Cittadinanza Application

An update on my Cittadinanza Application

Many of you ask me how my application for Italian Citizenship is going and I like to give you regular updates. Well, you may remember that I have been waiting for an update on the Ministero dell'Interno website which has been a on a 'hold' status for 5½ months.   About a week ago that all changed.   I have been contacted!   My application is now showing as 'in process' and I have summoned to contact the Prefettura to make an appointment and go along with original documents.   I am not sure if 5½ months is a good indication from submission of application to 'in process' but for those of you who are still waiting, hang in there! As and when I have been to the Prefettura I will let you know how it went. 

My Italian Citizenship Application

Well, for those of you who have been asking me for a long time whether I would apply for Italian citizenship, I can now tell you that I have made the application. (The photo above is not a photo of my passport, that is a long way off yet).
