TaxCompass never guesses. Every answer is grounded in primary Italian sources you can open and check yourself — the same documents a commercialista would cite. Here's exactly what we've indexed.
From our knowledge base
Italian State — Gazzetta Ufficiale
The official database of Italian legislation. We index the primary tax law itself — the TUIR income-tax code, the VAT decree, the annual Legge di Bilancio, the forfettario law (L. 190/2014), the impatriate decree, the immigration code and the Civil Code's company rules — article by article, in their currently-in-force version.
Italian Revenue Agency
How the tax authority actually applies the law: circolari, risoluzioni and provvedimenti that interpret the rules, plus the evergreen taxpayer guidance pages — the regime forfettario rules, codice fiscale, e-invoicing and the F24 payment form.
National Social Security Institute
The social-security side: circolari and messaggi on the Gestione Separata, contribution rates, minimums and ceilings — the rules behind the 26.07% that catches so many freelancers by surprise.
MEF — Dipartimento delle Finanze
Italy's bilateral tax conventions with ~100 countries — the rules that decide which country taxes your income, break tax-residency ties, and cap withholding on cross-border dividends, interest and royalties. Essential for anyone moving to, or working with, Italy from abroad.
ISTAT · Normattiva
Year-pinned reference tables parsed from official documents: the ATECO 2025 activity classification (ISTAT), the forfettario profitability coefficients (L. 190/2014, Allegato 4) and the IRPEF brackets (TUIR art. 11) — each linked back to the source it comes from.
When you ask a question, specialised agents retrieve the most relevant passages from these sources, and a single writer composes the answer — attaching a citation to every sentence it grounds. A verifier checks each cited passage really exists before you see it, the numbers come from a deterministic tax engine rather than the model, and a licensed commercialista signs off before anything is filed. You can open the source behind any sentence and read it yourself.
TaxCompass provides sourced orientation, not tax advice. Always confirm with a qualified commercialista before you file.
