Faced with economic developments and globalization, it became common to see companies in different countries better meeting the demands and also strive hard in order to save some money. The establishment of French companies is easier in Europe because of the existence of certain conventions avoiding double taxation.
Hence, France and Italy have signed two agreements which aim to fight against tax evasion but also lead to the desire to lighten the tax burden, thus avoiding the double taxation of companies. This trend also applies to individuals who, with the freedom to come and go, have become much more mobile than in the past and are willing to settle in a country of the European community to find a job.
Italy is the second partner of France, which reflects the importance of trade relations between the two countries for many years. Italy has a market of 57 million customers and 800 branches and 120 000 people were present on Italian territory in 2000. In order to better adapt its tax system to the changes in the global economy and with a view to simplifying the tax system, Italy has undertaken a major tax reform project in 2001 and a legal framework was promulgated in 2003. This reform affected both the taxation of individuals as firms and the organization of the tax system itself.
Primarily related to tax of personal income, one must define the subject and the various people involved in income tax. Indeed, one must be able to distinguish whether the individual is a resident or not (this distinction also applies to corporations) because the tax base varies greatly depending on each case. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the characteristics of different taxable incomes. Finally, it should be noted that as an individual, the taxable income is reduced significantly since the Finance Act 2005 confirms the franchise to a "no tax area". Secondly, regarding the taxes on corporations, they are three in number namely the IRES, IRAP and VAT.
The first two taxes have the distinction of being affected as it is the only state in the case of the IRES regions and is only in the case of IRAP which reflects two levels of taxation. In addition, companies are subject to VAT which is simply the tax on value added, however, unlike its predecessor the French VAT, the VAT is a feature known to distinguish between taxable transactions affected for other operators subject to VAT and those made with respect to final consumers. Italian taxation has even small similarities that can be noted as the IVA and VAT, IRAP and the French business tax, is completely different from both as the rates in its organization. It is therefore necessary to define these taxes to better understand the Italian tax system for corporations.
In Italy the income tax of individuals is called: Imposta sul delle PersoneFisiche Reddito (IRPEF). It is regulated by Decree of the Presidency of the Republic No. 917 of December 22, 1986, as amended by an Act of December 30, 2004. The tax return must be filed between May 1 and July 31 of the next year. .The Auditors of tax returns is called Bureau of Direct Taxes. As will be seen through the description of the Italian tax system on individuals, there are a number of tax benefits in Italy.
