Italy Corporate Tax Specifics

Corporate Tax Rate

Italy has a corporate tax rate of 24% for most companies, which is one of the standard rates applied to corporate profits. However, smaller businesses with annual revenues below €400,000 may benefit from a reduced rate of 15% on the first €200,000 of taxable income​. This tax regime is designed to support smaller companies and startups while maintaining competitive taxation for larger entities.

Dividend Taxation

Dividends distributed to both residents and non-residents are subject to Italian withholding tax at a standard rate of 26%. However, Italy has tax treaties with several countries that may reduce this withholding tax rate. For non-resident companies in countries with which Italy has a tax treaty, the dividend tax rate can be reduced, often to 15%.

Research and Development (R&D)

Italy offers significant tax incentives for companies engaged in Research and Development. The R&D tax credit program allows businesses to claim up to 12% of their qualifying R&D expenses, with additional credits available for innovative projects in certain sectors. These incentives aim to support technological advancement and innovation within the Italian economy​.

Transfer Pricing Rules

Italy adheres to OECD transfer pricing guidelines for transactions between related parties. Companies must ensure that intercompany transactions are conducted at arm’s length, which means that the terms of the transactions must reflect what would be agreed upon between unrelated parties. Italy’s tax authorities have robust rules in place to monitor and enforce compliance with these guidelines, particularly for multinational corporations engaging in cross-border trade​.

Looking for Full Facilitation by an
International Tax Adviser?

Your circumstance may actually call for the assistance of a local tax professional, given the complex nature of Italian tax and accounting regulations. A local accountant may be required by law for certain business activities in Italy. If you need help filing your tax return with the Agenzia delle Entrate, House of Companies is here to help. You can either send us your existing ledgers and VAT Analysis, or instruct us to draw up new ones from scratch, ensuring full compliance with Italian tax laws.
