A soft landing, arranged before you step off the plane
Most clients come to Italy for the lifestyle and the tax regime, not the paperwork. Ataraxia takes the paperwork — residency, tax counsel, banking, schooling, healthcare — and makes it disappear, so what remains is the life you came for.
The routes to residency — and the honest read on each
The flat-tax regime
A flat annual tax on foreign income for new residents — the real magnet for relocating wealth, and the route most of our clients take.
The 7% South
A 7% flat rate on foreign income for those drawing a pension who settle in qualifying towns of the Italian south. Quiet, generous and underused.
The investor visa
Residency through investment, from €250,000 to €2 million. Genuinely low-volume — a considered route, never a funnel.
Elective residence
For those with sufficient means and no need to work — the classic route to a second life in Italy.
