There was once a very important and self indulgent potato who had three daughters. One day his eldest daughter said that she had fallen in love with a fellow potato and wished her father's consent to marry him.

As with most things in life there will be winners and losers. For example anyone buying outright at start of 1999 will have seen a currency gain in sterling terms of 38%. (start 2000 +57%).

I get the impression that the market is still quite slow. There are no real price surveys such as Halifax-Nationwide etc as there are in the UK. Its a very regional thing but from reading some of the national press it does'nt feel that there has been any recovery. Maybe to the contrary as actual transactions don't seem to have picked up. The summer period normally corresponds with the peak selling period so now should be the best time to put your property on the market if thats what you are thinking of doing. As far as UK buyers are concerned, I really would'nt spend too much time there. Better in my opinion to market into the Italians themselves, the Swiss and Germans. Good luck.
I think there is maybe some confusion beetwen gross and net rates here. Here the gross rate is around €14 per hour for an unskilled worker. (That is what you pay). After the various deductions this will translate to something like €9 in take home pay. Fillide is implying a much higher gross rate.
I agree with what you have said pianopiano. The lower cadastral value can actually have the effect of turning a true net loss into a gain for UK cgt purposes.
Thanks Penny. I do agree with you and Fillide. I should probably have been clearer in that I was referring to gross wages. Completely concur about NI etc.
Agreed bunterboy, was only referring to potential cgt liability in the UK.
Very true bunterboy but always remember the currency effect. Four years ago £ was at 1.48. Even, today at 1.20 its still a gain of almost 20%.
Think that was what I was trying to say pianopiano. If you are "resident" in the UK, you fall within the UK tax regime for all worldwide earnings, gains etc. Similarly, if you are "resident" in Italy then Italian laws apply on all worldwide earnings, gains. Double taxation treaties mean that tax paid in one country can be offset against tax due in the other.
Not sure where you are coming from here. An employer does not pay tax on an employees' earnings. Of course, may deduct tax on the employees behalf, but ultimate responsibility to pay rests with the employee. €12-€16 per hour gross holds good.
Its not as simple as that. The whole crux revolves around where your proceeds will be deposited. For example, even with double taxation treaties (UK- Ialy) any potentiial liability will ultimately rest on the tax regime of the country that you are moving the funds to.
About the same here Patz. (Sardinia). €12-€16 per hour is the current going rate.
