Loved the note about changing the locks!
I have just got back from my latest trip to Italy, and thought some of you might be interested to hear about a Swiss hotel that we stayed in on the way down.
For many years now I have used the likes of 'mappy', 'via michelin' etc for calculating different routes down to Italy - for us its a part of our holiday, so we don't always want to take the quickest/shortest route down. We prefer to vary t
Today I received an email from the Swiss Travel Centre. The relevant portion is;-
I've just driven down and back for a [much too] short holiday, and feel that an update on how fuel prices look on the way down would be useful to fellow travellers

Bringing ashes home
When leaving a country with human ashes you will normally need to show:
Each country has its own rules about departing with human ashes and there may be additional requirements. Read information about the country where the person died to find out what you need to do. You’ll need to fill in a standard customs form when you arrive home.
Hope it helps

I haven't got anywhere - Comune insists that some of the Pension had to be 'earned' in Italy - so I don't qualify.
Almost so, but I think that the requirement is not for an Italian pension, but for a pension that some of which was accrued in Italy.
in other words, if a UK employee working in the UK for an international firm did a stint for that firm in their Italian office, his UK pension would accrue in the UK from that work because of bilateral agreements.
Thus he would have a UK Pension, partially accrued in Italy, and could qualify for the IMU reduction.
.........I think.
Problem - looks like I don't qualify, as my pension was only accrued in UK, without any portion being accrued in Italy.
From modicasa's download
The case of a pension accrued exclusively in a foreign country , a hypothesis not provided for by law, does not fall within the favorable regulation .
Maurice -- Brilliant, thank you.
(Now to compose a polite letter to the Comune.)
Maurice - many thanks for that- very useful, (I think/hope).
One thing - where is that form online? My comune sends me the completed F24 form, so I don't fill anything .
Again, many thanks
