Quick Summary

Italy plans to introduce a 25 percent exit tax on wealthy individuals who transfer their tax residence abroad and have at least €800,000 in assets. The tax targets unrealized investment gains for those who lived in Italy for at least six out of the last ten years. While some EU destinations allow deferred payments upon sale, a 50 percent upfront payment is required elsewhere. Critics contend that this measure lacks clarity and may deter wealth from entering or staying within Italy.

Story summary

As of 2026-11-03, Italy's proposed 2027 budget includes a new 25 percent exit tax for wealthy residents who move their tax residence abroad and have at least €800,000 (about $896,450) in assets. This tax would apply to investment gains that have accumulated but not yet been realized through a sale, if the individual has lived in Italy for at least six of the previous 10 years. Those relocating to the European Union or certain other countries could delay paying the tax until they sell their investments, but they must still pay 50 percent upfront. Critics contend that this proposal is unclear and may deter wealthy individuals and businesses from moving to or staying in Italy, potentially harming the economy. The Italian tax model draws inspiration from France's exit tax but appears more stringent due to its requirement for an initial payment.
