• Italy’s Flat Tax Schemes: Huge Savings for Retirees, Freelancers & Investors

  Italy offers several attractive flat tax regimes for retirees, high-net-worth individuals, and freelancers looking to establish residency in the country. Whether you’re a pensioner seeking a lower tax rate on foreign income, an investor exploring Italy’s fixed annual tax option, or a freelancer wanting to take advantage of reduced tax obligations under the regime forfettario, these programs can make relocating financially beneficial. With potential tax rates as low as 5% for small business owners and a flat 7% for retirees moving to Southern Italy, these incentives offer significant savings compared to the standard progressive tax system.
