Imagine paying only 7% tax on your foreign pension for 10 years. In Western Sicily, this is not a dream—it's the law.
This is the single biggest incentive for high-net-worth individuals moving to Italy. But there is a catch: it only applies to municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. Trapani and Marsala are too big, but their beautiful satellite towns qualify.
Where should you buy to get the Tax Break?
We guide our clients to the best "under 20k" towns that offer luxury living:
- Favignana (The Egadi Islands): Yes, the island qualifies. Absolute paradise.
- San Vito Lo Capo: Famous for its beach, but also a quiet winter retreat.
- Castellammare del Golfo / Scopello: Stunning sea views and high-end villas.
- Valderice / Custonaci: Hilltop views over the sea, close to Trapani city services.
How We Help
Buying the house is the first step to residency. We ensure the property is fully legal (a requirement for residency application) and help you renovate it to luxury standards using the tax savings.
