One of the most misunderstood aspects of moving to Italy is not the flat tax. It is not even income taxation. It is reporting . More specifically, it is something called Quadro RW .

For many international families considering a move to Italy, the flat tax regime has never been just about one person. It has always been about the family as a whole .
