Residency and regime map
Your resident or non-resident position, and which special regime, if any, could realistically apply, mapped before any deadline.
Italy Tax Services
Italy tax, coordinated from one place.
Italian tax comes with several moving parts: fiscal residence, the annual IRPEF return, and three special regimes (the neo-residents flat tax, impatriati relief, and the 7% pensioner flat tax). We map your situation, organize the evidence, and hand a clean file to a licensed Italian tax adviser who owns the advice.
First call: leave with your residency position, which special regime could fit, the services you actually need, and a licensed-adviser handoff in motion.

What you get
What the Italy tax services cover.
Most Italy tax problems come from sorting residency and the special regimes too late. We organize the facts early, route you to the right service, and hand a clean file to a licensed tax adviser.
The right services, scoped
Which of fiscal setup, IRPEF filing, the flat tax, impatriati, or the 7% pensioner regime you actually need.
Exposure and evidence organized
Income inventory, special-regime eligibility evidence, and foreign-asset reporting scope packaged for adviser review.
Licensed-adviser handoff
A clean file delivered to a licensed Italian tax adviser (commercialista) who reviews the position, advises, and files.
One entry point, the right specialists
Instead of guessing which tax service you need, you get one review that routes you to fiscal setup, IRPEF filing, the flat tax, impatriati, or the 7% pensioner regime, then to the licensed adviser who owns the advice.
Three special regimes, very different
Italy has the neo-residents flat tax (for high foreign income), the impatriati relief (for inbound workers), and a 7% flat tax (for foreign pensioners in the south). Each has its own eligibility, and they changed recently.
Foreign income and assets need care
Italian residents report worldwide income and monitor foreign assets through the quadro RW, with IVIE and IVAFE on foreign property and financial assets, unless a regime exempts them.
Advice stays with licensed specialists
Movingto coordinates the case path. The tax position, the advice, and the filings stay with a licensed Italian tax adviser (commercialista).

Common questions
Questions before you engage.
What do Movingto's Italy tax services include?
A coordinated entry point: residency and regime triage, routing to the right service (fiscal setup, IRPEF filing, the neo-residents flat tax, impatriati, or the 7% pensioner regime), exposure and evidence organization, deadline management, and a packaged handoff. A licensed Italian tax adviser owns the advice and the filing.
What special tax regimes does Italy offer?
Three main ones: the neo-residents flat tax (a fixed annual tax on all foreign income, aimed at high earners and high-net-worth movers), the impatriati regime (relief on employment and self-employment income for inbound workers), and a 7% flat tax for foreign pensioners who move to small towns in the south. Each has specific eligibility, and several changed recently.
Who is an Italian tax resident?
Under the rules in force from 2024, you are generally an Italian tax resident if, for most of the year (over 183 days), you are registered in the resident population register, are domiciled in Italy (now defined around personal and family ties), or are physically present in Italy. Residents are taxed on worldwide income.
Do I have to report foreign assets in Italy?
Italian residents generally report foreign assets through the quadro RW of the Redditi return for monitoring, and pay IVIE on foreign real estate and IVAFE on foreign financial assets, unless a special regime exempts them. Filing is required even when no tax is due.
Does Movingto give tax advice?
No. Movingto coordinates the case path and prepares a clean file. Tax advice, the tax position, and the filing are owned by a licensed Italian tax adviser (commercialista).
What are the ordinary income-tax rates?
For 2026, ordinary IRPEF runs across three brackets: 23% up to EUR 28,000, 33% from EUR 28,000 to EUR 50,000, and 43% above EUR 50,000, plus regional and municipal surcharges. Brackets are set annually, and special regimes can change the picture entirely.
