Internet Speed
A coverage listing puts about 87 percent of the comune on ADSL, with an average around 12 Mbps. It shows no fibre up to 200 Mbps and no 1 Gbps fibre-to-the-home. The page gives no survey date. 13

Tap water in Italy is drinkable unless a fountain is signed non potabile. Southern supplies can taste odd, including where water is desalinated, and restaurants usually expect you to order bottled water. 3

Business

Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
OMI does not split by bedrooms. Central zone B1, ordinary homes, second half of 2025: €2,900-€4,300 per square metre. The middle of that range is €3,600, so a 30 square metre flat is about €108,000. These are official ranges, not sale prices. 9
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
Same OMI series, the rest of the comune (zone R1): €1,900-€2,700 per square metre. The middle is €2,300, so a 30 square metre flat is about €69,000. 9
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
OMI has no bedroom split. Zone B1 ordinary homes, second half of 2025, are €2,900-€4,300 per square metre (middle €3,600). A 50 square metre flat at the middle of the range is about €180,000. 9
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Zone R1 ordinary homes are €1,900-€2,700 per square metre (middle €2,300). A 50 square metre flat at the middle of the range is about €115,000. 9
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Zone B1 ordinary homes are €2,900-€4,300 per square metre (middle €3,600). An 80 square metre flat at the middle of the range is about €288,000. 9
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
Zone R1 ordinary homes are €1,900-€2,700 per square metre (middle €2,300). An 80 square metre flat at the middle of the range is about €184,000. 9
Corporate Tax
IRES 24%, plus IRAP generally 3.9%. Regions can move the IRAP rate by up to 0.92 points. A one-year reduced IRES of 20% applied in FY 2025 for some reinvested profits. 21
Dividend Withholding Tax
26% on dividends paid to resident individuals. Dividends to resident companies are generally exempt. 23
Tax System
Worldwide income for tax residents. Non-residents are taxed only on Italian-source income. The Italy tax profile treats residence as civil registration, domicile, or habitual presence for most of the tax year (often counted as 183 days). 10
Highest Income Tax Bracket
43% IRPEF on income above €50,000 in 2026. The bands below that are 23% up to €28,000 and 33% from €28,000 to €50,000. Regional surcharge is about 1.23-3.33% and municipal surcharge up to 0.9%. 10 18
VAT
IVA 22% standard. Reduced rates of 10% and 4% apply to listed goods and services. 22
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. From FY 2024 an Italian company consolidates a controlled foreign entity when its effective tax rate is under 15% and more than one third of revenue is passive income. A ruling can exempt a company that has real staff and premises. 24
Property Tax
IMU is not due on a main home except luxury cadastral categories A/1, A/8 and A/9. Other homes are taxed. PwC lists a basic rate of 0.86% on other property, which the comune can change, plus TARI for waste. 20 22
Property Transaction Tax
From a private seller, registration tax is 2% of cadastral value for a first home (minimum €1,000) or 9% otherwise, plus €50 mortgage tax and €50 cadastral tax. From a developer charging VAT, first-home VAT is 4% (otherwise 10%), plus €200 fixed registration, mortgage and cadastral taxes. 19
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
Residents are taxed on worldwide income. A pensioner who was non-resident for five years and moves to a Campania comune under 20,000 people (Atrani qualifies) can elect a 7% tax on foreign pensions and some other foreign income for up to ten years. New arrivals from 2026 who take the lump-sum regime pay €300,000 a year on foreign income. The Italy tax profile records an Impatriate exemption of 50% of qualifying work income up to €600,000 for five years; the PwC page opened today names that inbound regime but does not restate the percentage. 10
