Why the Smartest Millionaires Are Choosing Italy — And Why You Should Too
Why the Smartest Millionaires Are Choosing Italy — And Why You Should Too
The lifestyle is legendary. The tax benefits are extraordinary. And OS Law is your passport to both.
If you’re a successful entrepreneur, investor, or family office principal seeking a stable European base, Italy may be the most underrated opportunity of the decade. With its seductive mix of culture, luxury, and a tax regime designed for the ultra-wealthy, it’s no surprise that in 2025, over 3,600 millionaires will make Italy their new home — more than Monaco, more than Switzerland.
This isn’t just lifestyle migration. It’s smart wealth relocation.
And at OS Law, we help you do it with elegance, precision, and complete legal protection.
What’s Behind the Rush? A Tax Regime That Speaks Your Language
Welcome to Italy’s best-kept secret: the Flat Tax Regime for New Residents.
It’s not a loophole — it’s law. Designed for global high-earners with international portfolios, the regime offers:
🔹 A €200,000/year flat tax on ALL your foreign income
Yes, you read that right. Whether your dividends come from Hong Kong, your real estate income from New York, or your trust distributions from Jersey — your total liability in Italy is capped at €200,000 per year, for up to 15 years.
🔹 €25,000/year for each family member
Your spouse and children can benefit from the same treatment at a fraction of the cost.
🔹 No wealth tax, no reporting of offshore assets, no surprises
Under Article 24-bis of the Italian Tax Code, you are exempt from IVIE (foreign property tax), IVAFE (foreign financial assets tax), and monitoraggio fiscale obligations.
It’s legally clean. It’s financially predictable. And when combined with Italy’s cost of living and lifestyle? A masterpiece of smart relocation.
More Than Just Numbers — Why Italy is the Lifestyle You Deserve
Monaco is crowded.
Switzerland is cold.
Dubai is… well, Dubai.
Italy offers something different: civilization with soul.
Here, you don’t just optimize your taxes — you upgrade your life.
✓ Want Alpine skiing and coastal yachting on the same weekend? Done.
✓ Crave fresh white truffles, Brunello, and Michelin-starred chefs at your doorstep? Easy.
✓ Prefer your children in British-curriculum schools, 15 minutes from your 18th-century villa? Absolutely.
Italy is Europe’s best-kept secret for living beautifully while preserving your global freedom. And the property market is still undervalued compared to London, Paris, or Zurich — which means you don’t just live well. You invest smart.
