The Income tax rates and personal allowances in Italy are updated annually with new tax tables published for Resident and Non-resident taxpayers. The Tax tables below include the tax rates, thresholds and allowances included in the Italy Tax Calculator 2021.
Taxes, including personal income tax, expenses and limitations are reviewed by the Government in Italy periodically and typically updated each year. Not that not all tax rates and thresholds in Italy change annually, alterations to tax policy to support strategic economic growth in Italy mean that the certain areas may be focused on to provide specific tax relief in Italy or support growth in certain areas (overseas invstment in Italy for example may mean reduced non-resident income tax rates in Italy for a period).
When tax policy in Italy changes, the resultant tax tables also change. Tax tables in Italy are simply a list of the relevent tax rates, fixed amounts and / or threholds used in the computation of tax in Italy, the Italy tax tables also include specific notes and guidance on the validity of scenarios (for example, qualifying criterea for specific tax relief / allowances) and notes of the calculation of phaseout of specific tax elements within each taxation group (dividends and corporation tax thresholds in Italy for example).
