New italian « Res non dom » regime for HNWIs

The Budget Law approved by the Italian Government for 2017 (Law n.232/2016) has implemented a special tax regime addressed to high net worth individuals (HNWIs), similar to the UK non-domiciled Resident individuals (Res Non Dom), and the swiss forfeit regime, to encourage them to move their residence from abroad to Italy by granting them a preferential direct and indirect tax treatment.
