Abstract

This Portfolio includes an analysis of the tax on corporations, the tax on individuals and, in general, all taxes imposed on business firms and investments. It presents the various alternatives under Italian law for creating fixed business relationships in a more concrete form than mere contract, distribution, or agency relationships. Each form of business organization is summarized and particular attention is paid to the tax system, which has an important impact on Italian business operations.

The foreign exchange laws and foreign investment laws, which are significant to anyone wishing to introduce capital into Italy for investment purposes, and the mechanisms and characteristics of the more important corporate forms are explained to provide potential investors with a better understanding thereof.

Additionally, there is a brief discussion of the provisions of the Italy-United States Tax Treaty.
