Every country and jurisdiction has different tax rules and legislation. Expats with knowledge of those deviations, and their anticipated tax liabilities, can make informed judgments about the right ways to transition their wealth and assets to Italy.
There may also be areas of decision-making that are influenced by the tax exposure linked with an Italian relocation, and depending on how your tax residency status is expected to change, for example:
- Retaining or selling property or other assets based in the UK.
- Planning for inheritance where your estate contains assets in both the UK and Italy.
- Moving a business or professional occupation to Italy.
- Structuring investments and pension schemes to account for your move.
Timing can be important, and in a climate where issues around visas, residency and freedom of movement can change, it is often advisable to seek professional guidance as far in advance as possible to optimise your plans in good time.
