What personal documents are necessary for purchasing a property?
In order to complete the purchase deeds it is necessary to have a fiscal code, the Italian equivalent of a "national insurance" number a valid passport and an Italian bank account.
What taxes am I liable for?
If you are only going to use your property in Italy as a holiday home, there will be two different taxes that you need to pay. The amount will differ from town to town. The first is called I.C.I. (similar to the council tax in the UK), which will be based on the size and type of property. The second is called T.A.R.S.U., which is charged for the disposal of refuse. If you decide to move permanently in Italy there will be a list of other documents that you will need to obtain. We will provide you with explanations and help in acquiring any other documentation needed. If we feel with your agreement that you need a more specialised tax advice we will put you in touch with an accountant (commercialista).
