Chase Buchanan Wealth Management has published a new free guide to the Italian tax system for expats.

Paphos, Cyprus, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Chase Buchanan Wealth Management has launched a new free guide to the Italian tax system for expatriates. Chase Buchanan, a leading wealth management and financial advisory firm with offices in Europe and North America, has expanded its free informational resources to help non-residents at any stage of their relocation plan their future more effectively. The new release, titled "Expatriate Guide to Taxes in Italy," is a comprehensive and accessible resource that covers all the key aspects to keep in mind for those planning an international move. Like all Chase Buchanan guides, this edition is available completely free of charge.

The importance of tax planning for future expatriates

According to the UK Office for National Statistics, more than half a million British citizens choose to emigrate each year. Some of them seek to advance their careers and businesses, others move to be closer to family, while many dream of living in a sunny and prosperous place or want to buy their dream home.Tax planningplays an important role in this process, as tax conditions in other countries, including European destinations, differ significantly from British realities. For example, an expat may find that their pension savings are inaccessible due to restrictions in another country, or that the rules for transferring pension assets could significantly reduce their retirement savings. A family preparing to move may not even be aware of wealth taxes or that retaining property in the UK as an investment asset incurs additional tax obligations.

Recently, reforms in the field of taxation in the UK and changes regarding international pension transfers have further complicated financial management for expatriates. Many may need advice on issues related to inheritance tax or HMRC restrictions when transferring UK pension funds to other countries.There are many tax strategies that can significantly reduce the tax burden.And informed preliminary planning will help avoid many potential problems.

New free Chase Buchanan guide to taxes in Italy

The guide to the Italian tax system is available for download directly from the Chase Buchanan Wealth Management website. It is written in clear and understandable language, making it useful even for expatriates who find other sources of information too complicated. The material is divided into clear categories and sections, covering key points such as:

• criteria for tax residency and cases of application of double taxation agreements;
• budget planning for tax obligations and benefits;
• management of investment income and calculation of tax burden;
• understanding of wealth taxes and stamp duties, including taxes related to property ownership;
• strategies for managing pension savings and retirement funds when moving to Italy;
• Questions of inheritance and estate planning for British residents.

Lee Eldridge, CEO of the group and head of investment consulting at Chase Buchanan, notes: "Today, around 67,000 British citizens live in Italy for the long term or on a permanent basis.

This includes an assessment of the tax residency situation, a preliminary evaluation of tax liabilities on income, as well as an understanding of how living in Italy may impact their inheritance plans and tax obligations for their loved ones. We strongly recommend that every expatriate take sufficient time to study the tax legislation of the other country and assess how it relates to their plans to ensure the success and financial security of their relocation.
