I'll be delighted to hear from you...................I have to 'declare' on Wednesday (first thing) so if your commercialista knows ...........that would be great..............I am happy to pay (if I should) but equally, happy NOT to pay if I shouldn't (if you know what I mean ?!).I am resident and do have a pension (taxed) in the UK over 10,000 euros p/a but nothing here in Italy. Does the fact that I transfer monies (say 2/3k per month) constitute an 'income'??Thanks for your help A,I'll await any response,Cheers and keep enjoying the heat !S
