We own and now rent out a property in Italy and declare income on UK tax returns. We are both UK tax resident. We are trying to do everything by the book including registering the activity in the comune (as required by L.R.
Hi, I'm new to the community and this will be my first (of many!) question. My wife and I will be spending 6 months a year in the beautiful Tuscan appenines starting next year.
Conor, "avoiding like the plague" is a bit strong! I've restored 2 properties using 2 different contractors recommended by the same tecnico and had excellent results. Caution, yes but avoid like the plague, no.
We live in a very rural, unspoilt part of Tuscany, the extreme east, north of Sansepolcro, in the Apennines. When we go hiking we rarely see anyone else. There is a good mix of ridge or valley walks, wooded or open. If you want to see the area look at our website www.ilmulinorofelle.com
Thanks for this; I didn't know about it. Does the UKTV4ITALIA box give a better image on a full TV screen? We're getting a satellite internet connection so the signal should be fine.
From the AA website: the French government announced that the implementation of the sanction for drivers not carrying a breathalyser – a fine of €11 – has been postponed indefinitely.So theoretically you are still required to carry a self-test breathalyser when driving in France but there is no current legislation demanding a fine for non-compliance.
We paid a couple of years ago while doing a complete refurb, prices supply and install: New cotto tiles, marsigliese not coppi because too windy here - €30/m2 Waterproof layer plus 8cm Styrodur insulation - €26/m2 Our roof had a reinforced (steel mesh) screed and the underside were pianelle rather than timber
I've been doing the same but luckily have managed to go back 150 years purely by talking to relatives. The advantage of this is finding out the anecdotes about your ancestors rather than just dates and places. Although I've not used them here are a couple of sites regarding Italian genealogy. www.initaly.com/genehttp://www.italiangenealogy.com/ I'd be interested to hear how you get on
A friend of mine obtained a very low cost insurance policy (1 year only, in fact she could have cancelled it immediately) from a local company which satisfied our comune. This way she did not lose any uk benefits
This assumes that you have already notified the authorities that you are carrying out the relevant activity. I believe many don't but it seems that checks are now becoming more common, with fines imposed. In our region, Tuscany, you need "Segnalazione Certificata di Inizio Attività" (L.R. 42/2000).

As I understand it, only about 10-15% of properties in Italy have the Agibilità certificate

Why don't we all just ignore her - never rise to the bait. I'm sure she'd soon get fed up and go away
