By Claudia Bortolani, Aliant Italy. Aliant, a global law firm with deep expertise in cross-border matters, is proud to announce that Claudia Bortolani, founder of Aliant’s Italian office and a dual-qualified attorney in Italy and California, has been published in Bloomberg Tax.
In the article, “New UK Tax Rules Make Italy’s Flat Tax Regime More Attractive,” Claudia Bortolani examines how revisions to the UK’s non-dom regime may prompt high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and expatriates to reconsider their long-term tax residency. With the UK phasing out key tax benefits for non-doms, Italy’s fixed annual flat tax on foreign income is emerging as a competitive—and more predictable—alternative.
Claudia outlines the core advantages of the Italian regime, including the simplicity of its structure, its appeal to globally wealthy individuals, and the opportunity for strategic planning around timing, residency, and asset protection. She also flags important considerations for those relocating, including compliance requirements, qualifying thresholds, and how to maximize the program’s benefits without triggering unintended tax consequences elsewhere.
Claudia’s analysis offers practical guidance not only for potential new residents of Italy but also for advisors and wealth managers helping clients navigate Europe’s shifting tax landscape.
