Taxes

If you are not fiscally resident in Italy, you will need to provide a certificate of fiscal residency stating where you pay taxes, lest you incur a withholding tax.
Assuming you do pay taxes somewhere this certificate should be straightforward to obtain, and we can give guidance on the process.
