3761 rogito dilema

My wife and I will be arriving in Italy for rogito mid June.
However I am in a dilema over residency and house ownweship.
I will be staying employed PAYE in the UK so by UK rules that is where I will be paying tax/nat ins etc. The actual time spent in the UK could be adjusted so that I spend more or less than the 186 days in either country.
With this in mind we thought that my wife should be the sole owner of the Italian property and go for residency so that she can benifit from prima casa status. We will not have a property in the UK. We have checked this out with the notaio and she says there is no problem my wife only needs to produce a birth certificate with her fathers name on. This will mean a change in her codice.
This situation will leave me with a choice on residency as I can arrange my time in Italy one way or the other. My worry is what problems I might have in Italy not being a resident. On the other hand if I do go for residency and we buy the house in both our names there will be the tax implications in Italy because of the "global" approach on earnings.

Has anybody been in this position ? I would be grateful for any views on this subject.
I will not have a choice about paying tax in the UK.

Try sending a PM/email to villa sibillini, Pam commutes to England and may have the answers.

If you are in the status of division of property for the Italian law and your wife is in residence (and she has the ownership on the house) I think it should be enough to benefit from "Prima Casa" law.
The CF change could be done without problems at the nearest "Ufficio delle Entrate" or Italian consulate.

I believe Notaio could have the answer. Send him a private message clicking on the proper link on the top-right side of the forum's home page after you've logged in.
