What Is The Income Tax In Italy?

The Irpef is applied to the person’s overall income. Applying the tax rates by a bracket to the entire income after deducting expenses results in gross tax. The only source of income for non-resident subjects is revenue earned in Italy.

For resident subjects, the gross tax is computed by applying the tax rates by brackets to the entire income, net of deductible charges. Non-resident subjects can only lower their total income with some deductible charges, such as contributions.

Certain deductions from gross tax, such as those for employee expenditures, renovation-related costs, or certain types of gifts, are allowable for non-resident persons

How To Reduce Your Tax In Italy?

Specific costs may reduce a taxpayer’s gross income under Italian tax law, and the usage of tax credits may reduce a taxpayer’s tax liability.

Employment expenses

Contrary to other nations that allow an employment costs deduction in assessing taxable income, Italy has developed a system of tax credits concerning employment income

The following are the primary deductions from employment taxable income, provided that the prerequisites specified by law are satisfied:

Mandatory social security contributions made by employees are entirely deductible.
A deduction of up to EUR 5,164.57 is allowed for contributions to the designated supplemental pension plans.

Personal deductions

The following are the primary deductions from gross taxable income if they have not already been subtracted from each type of income, provided that the requirements required by law are satisfied:

Mandatory social security contributions made by employees are entirely deductible.
Up to EUR 1,549.37 in social security contributions are made for domestic workers.
Disability-related medical costs are entirely deductible.
Contributions paid to the complementary pension funds are deductible up to EUR 5,164.57.
Voluntary social security payments made to the required pension program.

The alimony given to a separated or divorced spouse as a consequence of a court order may be entirely deducted by an individual from taxable income.

Remember that only the component linked to the separated spouse is tax deductible; the portion related to child support is not.

Charitable contributions

Up to EUR 1,032.91 in donations to specific religious organizations may be deducted from taxable income (per taxpayer).

Personal exemptions

Italy has implemented a tax credits system, unlike other nations that provide personal exemptions and allowances in assessing taxable income.
