What are the taxes for digital nomads in Italy?

Theme: Taxes and work · from messages of 2023-2025

In short

Taxes for digital nomads in Italy depend on the type of visa and income.

What the chats answered

For digital nomads in Italy, it is necessary to open a business, which implies working as lavoro autonomo. The tax burden can be significant, especially with an income over 85,000 euros per year, where tax rates can reach 60-70%.

Some participants report that there are no quotas for digital nomads in Italy, which simplifies the visa application process. However, it is important to understand that tax obligations still remain.

If you are employed in another country, such as Russia, and plan to live in Italy, you may need to open a sole proprietorship and report your income in Italy. Flat-rate taxation may not apply if you have already worked before opening the business.
