Five in 10 with Italian Accountant Paolo Rigo

Today my special guest expert is Certified Italian Commercialista Paolo Rigo who is based in the beautiful city of Verona.  Paolo specializes in foreigners tax needs, and has a wealth of knowledge to share about the tax system and how he can help you find the best way forward

Our questions today are:

Question #1 is from Sarah  

  • I own a house in Canada that I will be renting for income when I move to Italy.  Is this income taxed in Italy?

Question #2 is from Miguel

  • I heard that the south is tax free.  Is this true?

Question #3 is from Michelle

  • When do we pay taxes in Italy?

And finally question # 5 is from – and anonymous submitter

  • What can happen if I do not declare all of my assets from my home country?

For those who know me and those whom I have had the honor to help move to Italy, you know that I am obsessed with taking complex things and boiling them down into small, actionable, easy-to-do steps.

I am a bit of a freak about it and can’t remember when I wasn’t the “problem solver – solution seeker” in the confused crowd.

My dad used to say I was just stubborn or unwilling to accept “you can’t do that” for an answer. Still, I always believed that if you can look at a problem from every angle, break it down, and have the support and knowledge to move through and over the barriers, anything is possible.

Now, in my new life in Italy, I use my obsession with planning and finding solutions to help people from all over the world successfully move to Italy, whether to live part-time or full-time, with less stress and mistakes.

I am considered one of the top relocation experts in Italy and am the founder and Chief Dream Maker at Smart Move Italy (www.smartmoveitaly.com) where my team of experts and I work tirelessly to help smooth the pathway to a new life in Italy- and I hope that we can help you too.
