Do you pay INPS on rental income?I'm thinking about taking the plunge with Italian residency and wondering if anyone can clear up how rental income is considered as far as INPS goes.
Qualifying for Italian citizenship and BrexitDoes anyone have any information on whether UK citizens resident in Italy would still qualify for Italian citizenship in 4 years (instead of the usual 10 years) after Brexit kicks in?My partner and I ha
Thanks belvedere. I spoke to my friends downstairs who suggested this could work too, if you know a local gemoetra. They could make some enquries and introductions but, if I understand correctly, cannot receive a commission for doing it, at least under current laws. My friends also suggested a good contact might be the notaio who did the last rogito for the property.
I just love the area, but then what's not to like. Especially if you like mountains, snow and cheese, i.e. fontina. We're looking for a house somewhere high up (for the views and access to mountains) somewhere in the upper part of the valley, between the expensive parts in the north west and the commuter villages towards Aosta. Derby was a bit of an accident, but my friend had an apartment for rent there and it was just too easy to move in here. It's a bit shady though and we'd like to get something with a bit more sun in winter. Which part was your mother from? I'd love to hear your stories...
Thanks for the suggestions. I think we'll try exploring both options and see which one we feel happiest about at the next stage. We're booked to see an agent tomorrow and will sound him out. I was shying away from talking to the agents because we've had mixed experiences with them here. Some have been excellent though with one we had to walk away in the middle of negotiations because of extreme unprofessionalism. I was reluctant to get friends involved. They have offered help in the past but the ones I think would be great are really busy with their work. It sounds like geometras don't fall into the category of professionals ;)
I'm not sure if they are free of charges (as they seem to suggest) or if they are open to non-residents but they are worth a look: webank.it - online only, so the problem will be getting cash unless you're near where the banks in the group are Poste have what looks like a new offering here http://www.bancopostaclick.it/ There are some free services around. I use a prepaid credit/bancomat card from MPS (Monte dei Paschi di Siena). There are no charges for day to day transactions, except a 2 euro charge each time you charge it. You can put a max of 10k euros on it. You can withdraw cash from their machines but I'm pretty sure you can't use it for paying bills online, though over the phone should work, I would think.
