Flat-rate tax scheme and professional service for the former employer

Answering petition no. 173/2019, Agenzia delle Entrate pronounced on the possible application of flat-rate taxation (art. 1, par. 9-11, Law no. 145/2018) for a self-employed contractor working for a foreign subject with whom a subordinate employment relationship had previously been in effect abroad.
The Agenzia deemed the taxation system applicable, after ascertaining:
- the lack of a fictitious transformation of employment,
- the lack of any connection with the territory of our State of income earned abroad;
- that the taxpayer had returned to Italy for tax residency purposes
