ITALY: Increase of Flat Tax on Foreign-Sourced Income

As part of the 2026–2028 budget plan the Italian Government has released the draft 2026 Budget Law for submission to Parliament.

Under the proposal, the substitute tax on foreign-sourced income for new residents will be increased from €200,000 to €300,000 starting in 2026.

The annual flat tax would therefore amount to:

  • €300,000 for the main taxpayer
  • €50,000 for each qualifying family member

This adjustment follows the doubling of the levy to €200,000 in August 2024.

The draft legislation also includes a grandfathering provision, exempting individuals who transferred their tax residence to Italy before 1 January 2026 from the new rates.
