Create a company in Britain or abroad in a tax haven should? What does the Italian tax authorities today? Italy London is a fascinating city. It will not be an exotic location like the Bahamas, or Monaco as sunny, but it is easy to reach and offers everything you could want in terms of social life and entertainment. Perhaps that is why it has become the preferred destination of Russian tycoons, and more. But perhaps it is because in the United Kingdom you can pay few taxes.
The Chronicles of the press have given considerable prominence to the dispute between the Treasury and Italian Valentino Rossi. The case has thus become, as always happens more often in the media, subject to gossip, but instead should lead to new ways of thinking about tax planning the European Union. In essence, why the UK?
still must migrate to a tax haven?
In Italian tax system, tax on personal income is applied separately according to whether the taxpayer is resident or not: the former is taxed on income products anywhere (known world wide taxation principle), while the latter only on that achieved in the State.
to escape tax in Italy, a traditional form of planning is rudimentary as represented by the shift of residence in a country " low taxation." In this way, they become taxable in the country of original residence (Italy) only the income which they earn (1) , while those beyond (all others) made outside. The latter will be applicable only at low (or zero) taxation applicable in the tax haven of new residence.
Such a device is present but difficult to implement due to the rules introduced in Article 2, paragraph 2-bis Tuir , which reversed the burden of proving the residence of a subject, agreed that it should actually prove that the subject moved the center of their affections and their business (substantive notion of residence) is no longer located in Italy but in the tax haven. In the absence of such evidence is difficult to provide in artificial transfers, the tax authorities may continue to consider the residents and tax them accordingly. Case, however, this particular presumption operates only in cases of transfer of residence to certain countries, characterized by income tax, with rates particularly low or zero, explicitly identified with a ministerial decree.
Among these, not is listed as the United Kingdom.
As mentioned, however, still does not answer the question: Why London? At first glance, however, the UK tax system does not seem so attractive when you consider that the marginal rate of income tax is 40 percent of : not quite favorable rate. The speech, however, change if you move to consider the dall'aliquota taxable income, that particularity (or, rather, the cost-effectiveness) of the UK scheme lies in its identification.
key issue is the distinction between residents and non-domiciled residents. If, as a general rule, the residents are subject to income tax anywhere products, not domiciled residents are taxed only on income earned in the United Kingdom as well as those produced elsewhere and returned. In the case of non-domiciled residents, therefore, foreign income and reflowed in the United Kingdom are exempt from taxation. For an integral
British subjection to income tax, in short, not enough to be resident in the country, must also be domiciled. E - simplifying the speech - if the residence is relatively easy to acquire (for example, staying for at least 183 days, or an average period of stay of 91 days over four years, or with the purchase of a home), also avoid taking the address is not that complex: to be domiciled in the United Kingdom must show (also on a special form) intention (animus manendi) to remain in the country indefinitely. Otherwise, you are considered resident, without jeopardizing the issue of residence.
word appears relatively simple to acquire the status of resident non-domiciled. The convenience this status, however, is appreciated in particular for those who make huge incomes abroad and who can avoid them flow into the United Kingdom. And so, by discriminating against residents resident (especially the British) from non-resident, here is fulfilled for a system very attractive to wealthy immigrants: a regime, in hindsight, to be true tax haven.
But the Treasury is going to look?
Squaring the Circle, for those who want to move their residence for tax reasons, it seems achieved: a substantial de-taxation of income without there being any applicable anti-avoidance provision. The game is not so simple.
The fact that the UK does not fall within the countries to which it applies to Article 2, paragraph 2-bis of the Uniform Tax Code, does not mean that the Treasury (Italian) is free of control instruments. If the tax authorities to prove that fact, and at least 183 days in the year, the main town and business interests or relationships of the moral, social and family is located in Italy, the subject can be regarded as tax resident in Italy, despite status of resident non-domiciled, UK. The transfer of residence, if fictional, is in fact against them. The fact remains that the ' burden of proof lies here on the Treasury and this undoubtedly makes it harder for opposing purely fictitious transfer of residence.
is why, perhaps, that the fog in London appears preferable to the Caribbean sun . The best way to hide something and leave on display on the table, but if there is fog, it is better: the fog forms confusing, because in the Mist "to know no other." At least until such time as the official tax efficient, successful, in the fog to penetrate.
