Hello
Hope someone can help. My partner is an Italian national who, since around 2014, has lived and worked in the UK.
He owns no assets in Italy.
He owns (subject to a mortgage) a small flat in the UK and all his earnings in the UK have always had tax deducted at source under PAYE - he has always been an employee, never self employed.
He was not aware that according to Italian law (called AIRE) he was supposed to have declared to the Italian government that he was living permanently in the UK. They are now trying to charge him almost £6,000, which is made up of a penalty amount for failing to register, but a large part of it they say is tax on his earnings and value of his flat in the UK.
We cannot understand how he can be taxed twice on earned income as surely there is a double taxation treaty between the UK and Italy and he has already paid all applicable tax on his UK earnings. He lives in his flat and does not "earn" from it.
He is very worried. Is there anyone please who has expertise in this area who can offer any guidance or links to any useful information as to whether there are grounds to challenge this penalty from the Italian government?
Many thanks in advance.
