Widely considered a tax haven in the past, Vatican City has no taxation within its borders. However, it has made a series of reforms in recent years to ensure tax compliance for nonnationals with investments within the state. Extraterritorial religious properties outside the Vatican City State are tax-exempt as well. However, commercial properties owned by the Holy See are taxable under Italian law.
To determine whether your business is subject to Italy’s taxes, you’ll need to evaluate your business’s specific situation and cooperate with local governing agencies. If you are eligible to pay taxes in Italy, you may be responsible for paying a progressive income tax for your employees. On average, your contribution as the employer will be about 35 percent of the total income.
Italy’s taxation laws can be complex, and your company may face additional regional regulations. Holy See payroll outsourcing can be invaluable for identifying your business’s tax requirements.
Both you and your employee may terminate the employment contract at any time, but Italy’s labor laws provide extensive protection for employees to prevent unfair termination. If you terminate employment for any reason, your employee is entitled to a severance payment of 7.5 percent of their yearly salary for each year they have worked for your business.
When you hire a new employee, you may need to navigate widely varying requirements depending on the employee’s industry, collective bargaining agreement terms, and potential union membership. Whether you are under Italian jurisdiction or not, it’s best practice to establish termination terms individually with your employees before they join your team.
