Just in case anyone else has been making the same mistake as me....If your comune has an IMU rate higher than the standard 0.76% (e.g.

I just saw today that just paying the IMU is not enough but we have to do an 'Imposta Municipale Propria - Dichiarazione per l'anno 2012'.

I have just had to create a secure email account (PEC in Italian) so that I can communicate a SCIA with my comune. It seems this is the way it is going for most comune now.

We have formed a Societa' Agricola which has puchased our new farm. I am guessing that when I pay the IMU, the F24 needs to be in the name of the Societa' as this is the owner of the property.

If you want to hear a Goldman Sachs rant I can recommend Max Keiser on Russia Today!
Thanks very much for the info. They have some info on their site giving example costs depending on how much gas/electric you use and it would be cheaper for us. The prices are fixed for 2 years. The big question is what happens if you cancel/move house in the 2 years as our house is up for sale. I guess I'll have to give them a ring :-)
Please share Flip as in all my time here I have seen the prices (with a few exceptions) in restaurants go up and up...
I actually think it is Marche that is expensive to eat out. I have eaten in restaurants in Florence for a lot less than Ascoli for a comparable meal. Ditto for cafe's. Doesn;t make sense to me.
Are you sure they are registered as B&B's? Might actually be registered as 'Country House' or some other classification.
The reason is Gala that if I want to take more than €2500 out of my bank account or withdraw it from my UK bank account over the counter here in Italy (even to pay into my Italian banlk account) which I regularly do, it will now automatically get reported to the tax man. I pay all my taxes here as I should but do not want to get investigated because I regularly withdraw more than €2500. The Italian tax man can tell you to pay tax on what he thinks you should have earnt (studio settore and various other methods) and not what you actually earnt so I really do not want to be regularly reported to him. Hence I will now buy items over €2500 directly by credit card outside of Italy so as not to be reported to the taxman. Not paranoid - just sensible!
Sorry Gala but the €2500 cash limit is a bad idea. For example, if i want to buy something that costs more than that I will now buy it abroad and bring it over therefore not spending my money in Italy. Very short-sighted IMHO.
On the Italian news tonight it seems a done deal that Napolitano will ask Mario Monti to head a technical interim government. He has just made him a life senator in order to facilitate that. Seems like the budget may be passed as quickly as Monday. The sticking point seems to be elections and I haven't seen anything concrete about when these would be.
I haven't seen anything in the Italian press saying Mr B is not resigning. Where have you seen that Anne? He said he is not standing in the next elections but is still resigning after the growth budget is passed which they reckon will be in the next couple of weeks.
We had to wait 30 days for the money to credit the owners bank account when I took a mortgage. Very cross he was about it too!
