    In shorts, you pay corporate taxes where your company has substance and it is controlled. You pay individual tax where you are resident. Even shorter, if you plan to be resident forever in Italy, there is no much planning to do. You either pay your tax, or you break the law. if you are...

    How helpful is consulting one of Big4 accounting firms for tax optimisation strategies?
