We have the basic Sky contract here in Italy and used to be able to purchase Premier League matches on Primafila where the games were listed with a code and you could select and pay individually for those matches you wanted to see.

I thought I had got this sorted out and knew how much I had to pay but looking on our Comune website to see what aliquota they had decided on I found a link (whch also apperars on other Comune websites mentioned in a previous thread) called Calcol

As there is such a wealth of knowledge in the Community I wonder if anyone has any advice/ suggested links about this query which I am posting for a friend who lives in Italy and is now an Italian resident.

Wishing all Community members a very happy New Year. Let's hope that 2012 is going to be better than the pundits lead us to believe. Whatever happens la bella Italia will come through it. I'm an optimist - and raise my half full glass....

Apologies if some of you have a sense of deja vu but, as the only reply to my earlier post under Ryanair charges for using credit cards etc was from Andiamo (thank you!), I thought I might get a better response under a more specific heading.A frie

No more complaints from me (for a while....) about Ryanair! I have read with interest, in the past, posts complaining / lauding Ryanair and my sympathies have tended to be with the complainers. Not any more .... at least for a while.

We have only just discovered VPNs (which I don't really understand!) to enable watching UK TV including Sky Go in Italy and had mixed experiences with the one we signed up to for 1 month as a trial.

As others have said, as long as these 2 documents match is should be ok. I bought a property in Italy and took out residency in my maried name, the name on both my passport and CF and it was not queried. By the way I like the door in your photo!
Looks like the original post has been removed. Very pleased that it has been.
My neighbour may be glossing the price down but I know he buys the bags in very large quantities (for him and for a relative's house) so perhaps he gets a good price. He and his wife (both in their 60s) are in most of the day and night so I think would keep the heating on for a long time. As for our price for Gpl - it is very high I think and perhaps it is just as well that we don't go out there much in the winter!
Not sure pas55 but I think that some Italian organisations won't let you pay with a credit card which has not been issued in Italy for example when I tried to pay my Italian TV licence online to one of the businesses which collects money on behalf of the Agenzie delle Entrate (or whoever it is) my UK credit card kept getting rejected. In the end I did manage to pay it to Equitalia. I had a similar problem trying to pay a Telecom Italia bill online a couple of years ago. It looked as if it had gone through but hadn't. I have now set up Direct Debits through my Italian Bank account and, for a charge, they pay the ENEL, Energas, Sky and Telecom Italia bills for me. Have you thought of doing that? For a smallish charge they take the hassle away from you.
There was a bit in Capodimonte VT yesterday morning 1/2/12 but it soon disappeared according to my neighbour who phoned yesterday pm. Also my friend who lives nearby in Canino posted a photo of her back garden / fields yesterday - snow covered fields and garden and bright sunshine.
We have Gpl gas ch and radiators with a boiler and the Gpl is supplied to a large underground bombolone in our locality by Energas. The last bill showed a cost of about 3.80 a cubic metre. Having done some research I think that is 1000 litres so the cost was 3.80 a litre. On top of that is IVA, and a small fixed charge. Our neighbour who lives there full time had a bill of over 800 Euros for 6 weeks over Jan and Feb when he moved in a couple of years ago so he has converted to a "stufa" with wood pellets. He says that one bag costs about 3 Euros and lasts 2 days to heat the same radiators and provide hot water. His house is on 2 floors with 2 large bedrooms, a large living/dining room and reasonable kitchen, 2 bathrooms and possibly some of the garage/cantina (which is mostly underground) is heated. The installation cost of the stufa and fixing it up to the ch system was about 4,000 Euros. He is very happy that he changed over and says he is saving lots. In the milder weather when ch is not needed he uses the Gpl to heat the hot water. We are not out in Italy that much in winter so felt that the installation cost of the stufa was too high for our needs.
Hi caerus. Welcome and I look forward to hearing about the results of your search. We have a home in Northern Lazio when we are in Italy, in a village on the Lago di Bolsena. It suits us well .... but then there are so many beautiful parts of Italy!!
Hi italanon. Welcome and I hope all goes well with your plans. You seem to be doing great so far!
Thanks Fillide. That is pretty generous since the Prima Casa rate is discounted anyway.
Hi Ram. Thank you very much for this. Very helpful. When I worked it out just now it was a lot less than I expected. What I don't understand, and perhaps someone can enlighten me please, is why the Aliquota works out at 515 but then it says that for Prima Casa I will pay 315. If it was Seconda Casa then the amount to pay stays the same at 700 and something. I understand about the rendita catastale being revalued by 5%, then multiplied by the new rate of 160, then multiplied by 4 per 1000 (the new rate of 0.4%). That then gives the Aliquota. What then happens to reduce the rate to pay by 200 for Prima Casa? It also reduced another figure I randomly put in by 200!!
