Italy

#14 of 27Worldwide43%

Europe ยท Rome ยท EUR

EU's third-largest economy with compelling special tax regimes: a EUR 300k flat tax for HNWIs, 50% impatriate income exemption, and the forfettario 5-15% flat tax for freelancers under EUR 85k. Milan is the primary tech hub with 9 unicorns. Notoriously complex bureaucracy and aggressive foreign asset reporting offset otherwise strong fundamentals.
