    If you are from the tax office the answer is yes.

    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...

    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 contractor
