Accounting and VAT
Bookkeeping under Italian rules, VAT payments and returns, and e-invoicing through SDI, the exchange system Italian invoices have to pass through.
Accounting & tax
Accounting and tax for foreign-owned companies. Italian compliance, handled. Numbers your headquarters can use.
We run the accounting, tax, payroll and corporate housekeeping of your Italian company, and report to headquarters in English, on your group's timetable.
Our part
What we take care of
Tax
Corporate income tax (IRES) and regional production tax (IRAP), tax payments (F24), withholding tax returns, and the tax side of intercompany transactions, including transfer pricing documentation.
Financial statements
The annual statutory accounts under Italian accounting principles (OIC), the shareholders' meeting paperwork and the filing with the Companies Register.
Payroll
Employer registrations, monthly payslips, social security and insurance contributions (INPS, INAIL) and the year-end returns, aligned with your accounts.
Corporate housekeeping
Board and shareholders' meetings, minutes and corporate books, changes to directors and powers of attorney, and the filings that go with them.
Legal support
Contracts with customers, suppliers and agents, leases, banking relationships and, if it comes to it, disputes, handled by the lawyers in our office.
Statutory audit roles
Where your Italian company needs a statutory auditor (revisore legale) or a board of statutory auditors (collegio sindacale), our professionals can take on the role, for companies whose books we don't keep, as independence rules require.
Reporting to headquarters
Numbers your headquarters can use
Italian statutory accounts are not group reporting. We bridge the two: a monthly or quarterly pack in English, mapped to your group chart of accounts, with the adjustments to IFRS or US GAAP where you need them, on your group's timetable.
Each pack includes
- Profit and loss and balance sheet in your group's format
- Cash and working capital
- Reconciliation with the Italian statutory figures
- Upcoming Italian deadlines and tax payments
Your compliance calendar
No surprises two days before a payment
Every year starts with a calendar in English: each Italian deadline, what it means, who does what, and when headquarters will be told.
