We have just been quoted 2,200€ plus IVA for an alarm for a 3 bedroom house. This seems ridiculous compared to UK prices. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Hello,I am driving from the UK to Rome in August - probably through Dover-Calais.Which route to people recommend? The shortest appears to be through France which I assume is the way the SatNav would take me?
If I were to move to Italy but continue to run my business in the UK I assume that I would pay UK income tax (as a sole trader)? Would I also have to pay any income tax in Italy assuming that Italian income taxes are higher at the moment?
As a UK resident and tax payer if I sell a property in Italy which is subject to capital gains tax (more than would be payable in the UK) can I reclaim the difference on my UK tax return?

Thank you for your detailed reply and thoughts. So would it be fair to say that both systems are as good as you make of them?

Thanks Penny, I do not believe that I will have to pay tax on the same income twice. Are you suggesting that I would not have to pay tax in the UK?
Thank you Sebastiano - your feedback is much appreciated. With regards to the capital gains tax I thought the same as you - 5 years from purchase. I have fallen into the reverse of a loop hole - if you renovate the property it is the date the renovation work is officially finished! It is not a huge problem because there is not a huge profit.
Thank you Andiamo - your feedback is much appreciated. We would be moving to Latina area. The closest internartional schools are probably in Rome. I assume that your children are bi-lingual? How does your experience of the education systems weigh up against the quality of life?
