If you think that if you are a permie you cannot fraud taxes you should have a trip to Italy. I have heard of so many strategies... simulating a marriage separation and let the wife take the residenceship somewhere else, fake support of some invalid members of your family , charity work and donations to some business owned by relatives and so on....Originally posted by BlasterBatesQuoi

yes Franco but do you have tax withheld at source for permies in Italy? In many European countries, it is not (unlike the UK), and therefore as easy to cheat if you're a permie as if you're a contractorChico, what time is it?Comment

If you are from the tax office the answer is yes.Originally posted by PhoenixDo you live on that Pikey estate up the road?
Yes, Rebecca is withheld at source (with the exception of the last year calculation which is normally like 1 month salary that goes off in taxes which you can avoid - it's rather complicated actually) but you can get a credit at the end of the year which will be very valuable as long as you don't have the immediate need for it. Yes, some countries can do without that because the tax evasion has been historically very low, I wonder if they only introduced that in Italy or in UK what would happen...
