•Published February 8, 2026The €100k Flat Tax: Is Italy’s Resident Regime the Best Deal in Europe for Expats?
Italy's "Regime dei Neo-Residenti" is turning heads. Pay €100,000 a year, and your foreign income is tax-free.
The Math
- Breakeven Point: Generally efficient for those with annual foreign income over €300,000 - €400,000.
- Family: Family members can join for an additional €25,000 per person.
- Duration: Valid for 15 years.
