Italy tax residency rules

Threshold: 183 days · Day Count · Calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31)

Italy uses three alternative residency tests, all measured against 'majority of the year' (more than 183 days): registration with the Italian municipal civil registry (Anagrafe), residence (residenza), or domicile (domicilio). The impatriate regime offers 50–60% income reduction for qualifying inbound workers.

  • Anagrafe registration creates a presumption of residency, even if you spend most of the year abroad.
  • Impatriate regime (regime impatriati) and the €200K flat tax for HNW foreigners are popular.
  • Italy scrutinizes departures to low-tax jurisdictions, with rebuttable presumption of continued residency.
