What you get
What we coordinate across your annual Italy return.
A return goes wrong when the form choice, foreign income, and quadro RW are sorted out at the deadline. We organize the facts early, then a licensed commercialista reviews and files.
Foreign-income organization
Foreign salary, pension, rental, and investment income organized with the treaty and credit questions for adviser review.
Quadro RW and foreign assets
The foreign-asset monitoring for the quadro RW, and IVIE and IVAFE on foreign property and financial assets, mapped before filing.
Commercialista handoff
A packaged file handed to a licensed Italian commercialista who reviews the position and files inside the deadline.
Modello 730 or Redditi PF
Employees and pensioners with an Italian withholding agent can use the simplified Modello 730; the self-employed, those with foreign income, non-residents, and special-regime electors file the Modello Redditi PF.
Worldwide income needs care
Italian tax residents report worldwide income, so foreign salary, pension, rental, and investment income, with the right treaty and credit treatment, need a commercialista, not a guess.
The quadro RW is mandatory
Residents with foreign assets file the quadro RW for monitoring and to pay IVIE on foreign property (1.06%) and IVAFE on foreign financial assets (0.2%, or 0.4% for blacklisted states). It is required even when no tax is due.
Tax advice stays with specialists
Movingto coordinates the case path. The return is reviewed and filed by a licensed Italian commercialista, who owns the advice and the submission.

Common questions
Questions before you engage.
Which Italian tax return do I file?
Employees and pensioners with an Italian withholding agent can usually use the simplified Modello 730. The self-employed, anyone with foreign income, non-residents, and those electing a special regime (flat tax, impatriati, or the 7% pensioner regime) file the Modello Redditi PF. We help you choose; the commercialista confirms it.
When are Italian tax returns due?
Deadlines are set each year. The Modello 730 is typically due around the end of September, and the Modello Redditi PF around the end of October, for the prior calendar year. We map the exact current-year dates and keep them on the calendar.
How is foreign income handled?
Italian tax residents report worldwide income, so foreign salary, pension, rental, and investment income must be declared, with relief for foreign tax depending on the relevant treaty and rules. We organize the income and questions; the commercialista decides the treatment.
What is the quadro RW?
The quadro RW is the section of the Redditi return used to monitor foreign assets and to compute IVIE on foreign real estate and IVAFE on foreign financial assets. Filing is mandatory for residents with foreign assets even when no tax is due, and special regimes can exempt it.
Does Movingto file my return or give tax advice?
No. Movingto coordinates the case path and prepares a clean file. Tax advice, the tax position, and the actual submission are owned by a licensed Italian commercialista.
Can this be bundled with tax-residence setup?
Yes. Many clients set up Italian tax residence first with the fiscal-setup service, then use this service for the annual filing. The two are scoped separately.
