Someone just pointed this out on Facebook. Do not look if you are squeamish. How utterly disgusting.

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.

Just wondered if anyone knows if our baby will be able to be an Italian citizen or not. The Consulate website is a bit unclear. I was under the impression our child could only claim citizenship at the age of 18 as per below: "1.

Hi Fulton, no we are under Apricale. Not sure he's "our" geometra yet. We're going to try him out on the "accadastamento" and see how we go. He doesn't speak English. I believe La DolceVita's architect does speak English.
The Ariston Nuos looks very interesting. Have you had any experience of it?
You can buy Brussels Sprouts here
It does not work the same way as the UK I'm afraid. It is much, much more complicated and you will definitely need an Italian accountant. Your basic assumption is correct but there are various tax regimes that have different tax rates and allowable expenses. Some allow you to deduct IVA and some don't. Each type of business has a code and this governs what regime you can have and the basis for your INPS payments. You will need a Partita IVA (Italian VAT code). Different business codes have different requirements for the payment of INPS (Italian National Insurance) and you may find that you have to pay the minimum INPS contributions (around €3,000) regardless of whether you sell a single thing. There is also the wonderful Studio di Settore, where the taxman checks certain groups of business codes for 3 years and if he thinks you haven't declared enough income will send you a tax bill based on what he thinks you should have invoiced. Nice eh?! You will also need to look into your insurance obligations (especially public liability). All in all, if you can keep your business based in the UK I would recommend it.
There is no obligation to insure your property unless you have a mortgage on it in which case the bank will usually take ut a policy that you pay for annually to cover the building. As for utilities, it depends on if your have a "condominio" in which case certain things like water & heating might be centralised and you pay a fixed monthly fee (to whoever administers the condominio) to cover this. Otherwise you need to get the utilities transferred into your name or reconnected. You also need to tell the comune you will be paying the refuse tax and remember to pay your ICI as most comunes send no bill.
sorry - missed that!
Does anyone have a definition of a "pertinenza" for these purposes? Thanks
I read today that the SCIA covers building permissions and setting up new businesses. The comune has 60 days to object but can only do so in cases of threats to the architectural heritage of the area, national security, health and safety etc etc. You can start work immediately without waiting for the 60 days to pass (which seemed a bit odd to me - why would you do that?) and must start within 12 months. Maybe this part is more aimed at new businesses rather than building projects. It was a very short article so that was all it said really. Great news for people starting businesses as we no longer need to apply for a licence.
Robbiemarche - consider a building plot too rather than knocking down an old building. There are plenty around and in nice positions too.
You're welcome Angie & Robert. Hope what I suggested works. If you want a true picture of the speed of your connection and to be 100% sure there is no problem with internal wiring or other appliances do the following:
If your connection is now faster/more reliable (depending on your problem) you should now plug in each appliance one by one and do a speed test after you have done this to recheck the connection speed (or check the reliability of the connection by browsing for a bit). You can do a speed test here: http://www.speedtest.net This will identify any appliances that are degrading your connection. If your connection is now faster/more reliable (depending on your problem) but plugging in the appliances does not identify a fault, I would suggest you have either:
If the connection is no different after following the 3 steps above then it is either:
Hope that helps.
