Questions Asked

My place is between Lakes Orta and Maggiore, and I have used Flybe in the past to fly from Birmingham to Milan Malpensa.

I have often advocated swinging up through Belgium when travelling from UK to Italy, on the grounds of the cheap petrol in Luxembourg and toll free motorways.

 

When driving to Italy, [Lake Maggiore area], from Calais, I almost always drive up towards Dunkirk and then head East towards Luxembourg. 

 

 

The reasons for doing so is simple:-

If you are driving down to Italy, this regularly updated AA site gives you the latest info on fuel prices across Europe.  Its useful for deciding where to fill up.

Also, onother UK Gov website says ...

Bringing ashes home

When leaving a country with human ashes you will normally need to show:

  • the death certificate
  • the certificate of cremation

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.

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
