Does anyone have any meaty info on contracting in Italy, such as basic rates and any gotchya's? Anyone done a 6-12 month stint?
There's a few really old posts about this but no replies (and there's nothing on the net either).
TIA.
Nice place, nice people, no real issues except that everything was much more expensive that I thought it would be. Lucky for me the client was picking up the expense tab or I would not have taken the role.
If the day rate you are being offered is not substantially higher than you would get in the UK or is of the 'all expenses paid' type forget it.

I done 12 months + in Italy, and rates etc obviously depend on what you do and how good you are at negotiating
I for instance had a "good" rate, monthly flights, per diem expenses and accomodation paid for. This was working in Milan where I really wouldn't recommend going over without the above conditions. It is HIDEOUSLY expensive to rent and hotels aren't much better.
It's also very very very expensive to go out in nice places (think £10 per drink and you won't be far wrong).
I operated through a UK agency and also my UK limited company with no real issues apart from keeping up to speed on accounts and VAT bills etc. My only difficulty coming out of that gig is I now have to obtain a certificate confirming that I was a "good boy" in Milan from the Italian Judiciary in order to get Security Clearance
