Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to open a Partita IVA?
For freelance professionals the number is assigned immediately once the application is filed with the Agenzia delle Entrate. For craftsmen and traders, registration in the Business Register usually takes a few days.
Do I need to come to the office?
No. Everything happens online: request, quote, engagement letter and documents sent through a secure channel.
Is the flat-rate regime (forfettario) worth it?
Often yes, if you are starting out and expect revenue up to €85,000 a year: a single substitute tax, reduced to 5% in the first years if the requirements are met. We assess together whether it suits you.
I am a foreign citizen – can I open a Partita IVA?
Yes. You need an Italian tax code (codice fiscale); non-EU citizens also need a residence permit that allows self-employment. I send you the exact list of documents after you engage me.
What happens after opening?
I can also handle the ongoing work: bookkeeping, F24, INPS contributions and tax return – online and in English.
