Does this apply to stock traders based in Italy trading US stocks (I am aware of the Italien FTT on Italian listed stocks). https://www.mondaq.com/italy/tax-au...-the-new-tax-eldorado-for-private-individuals
That's the standard tariff if you cannot apply for any other more favorable option. @Maverick2608 is not speaking about that. Read first the article and see on which conditions you can have a lower taxation.
I will seek professional advice. I am just testing the water. Do you know whether there is a healthcare contribution on top of the normal income tax rate in Italy?
I don't know. If live in Italy under the flat fee option. So I just pay a flat fee and that's it. The first question is: how much do you make? Because you need to have a consistent income every year. If you don't make in the higher 6 figures net, these options are probably not for you.
private investor will not be subject to a self-employment tax. The question than becomes are you then better off being classified as self employed than an ordinary tax payer
