Tax benefits for unspecialized employees : for football players and professional sportsmen, working in Italy is more convenient.
The cd. Growth Decree approved by the Government last Thursday 4 April and “subject to agreements”, therefore not yet definitive, provides, among different tax innovations, a particularly favorable treatment for the football players who come to play in Italy. In fact, by way of extension of the facilitated regime already in place for the c.d. “impatriati” (i.e. those who intend to transfer their residence in Italy), Irpef would apply only on 30% of the income taxable produced by unspecialized employees. The treatment would be even more advantageous in case the employee resides in a Southern Italy region, where the tax base drops to 10% of the income produced.
