Italian Tax Partner for Foreign Accounting Firms
Studio VPG acts as your Italian tax correspondent — handling VAT registration, branch setup, fiscal representation and ongoing compliance for your clients operating in Italy.
Why Foreign Accounting Firms Need an Italian Tax Partner
When your clients sell into Italy, store goods in Italian warehouses (including Amazon FBA fulfilment centres), or expand operations into the Italian market, they encounter a complex regulatory environment that requires local expertise.
Italian tax compliance — from electronic invoicing to periodic VAT returns and Intrastat declarations — requires a licensed Italian professional. Rather than referring clients away, partner with a trusted Italian firm that works alongside you.
Services We Provide to Partner Firms
- VAT registration and fiscal representation for your clients
- Branch opening and ongoing compliance management
- Italian corporate tax returns (IRES, IRAP)
- Transfer pricing documentation
- Accounting under Italian GAAP (OIC principles)
- Liaison with Italian tax authorities (Agenzia delle Entrate) on behalf of your clients
- Electronic invoicing setup and management
How Our Collaboration Works
We offer flexible collaboration models to suit your firm's needs:
- Direct referral: You introduce us to the client. We handle all Italian matters directly, keeping you informed throughout
- White-label support: We work behind the scenes on behalf of your firm, so your client relationship remains intact
- Co-advisory: Joint consultations for complex cross-border cases requiring coordinated advice across jurisdictions
Typical onboarding: Initial call → mutual NDA → engagement letter → client onboarding → ongoing service delivery and reporting.
