I saw something very briefly about this on the news today. I believe it is an anti-tax evasion law. Anyone know anything about it? Have I misunderstood? Are they actually referring to the requirement to declare any money sent abroad?

I posted a letter today and was told in the Post Office that all the CAP codes for all towns in Fermo & Ascoli provinces had been changed. For example Amandola has gone from 63021 to 63857. I think it also affects other regions too.

I was considering using the off-airport services that bring your car to the airport to meet you. Anyone tried these?

We have bought several UK cars in the UK and imported them here. No problems. Given what Tartuffa says that might be a better option!

My bank (when the amount was 2,500 recently) would not let me withdraw more than that amount every 10 days unless I filled in a form stating where it was going and providing invoices etc. So I am guessing different banks will have different rules unless it was a state form.

I don't know speficially the penalties but generally speaking, they are usually the amount owed, plus interest, plus costs, plus 30% of the original sum as a fine. Sorry - can't answer the last question but with the financial traceability limit going down and down I would be keeping my pension in a UK bank account.

Well, it depends on how 'correct' you want to be. You should still file a tax return here in theory and there may be tax to pay as the tax systems are different in the two countries. All the double tax treaty means is that any tax you have paid in the Uk will be knocked off your bill here in Italy. If you are self-employed there are no real tax free allowances unless you have dependents and then they are pretty titchy. If you are resident in Italy then your tax is due in Italy on worldwide income. Your choice if you want comply or not.
