Frequently asked questions about registering as self-employed

What is a Partita IVA?

A Partita IVA is a tax identification number you need to work independently on an ongoing basis.

You need it, for example, to issue invoices, declare your earnings and pay taxes and contributions correctly.

When do I need to register for VAT?

You generally need to register for VAT if you work for yourself on a regular, ongoing basis.

This applies to professionals, freelancers, tradespeople, retailers and anyone starting their own business.

Not sure if you need to register? Etnopoint can help you find out.

Which tax scheme can I choose?

The right tax regime depends on your business, your revenue and your personal circumstances.

The most common include:

  • Flat-rate tax scheme, available to many small businesses and self-employed professionals who meet the requirements.
  • Standard tax regime, used when the flat-rate scheme is unavailable or not the best option.

Etnopoint can help you find the right tax regime for your business.

How much does it cost to open and maintain a Partita IVA?

The cost depends on your type of business, tax regime and any contributions you need to pay.

Registration can be straightforward and inexpensive, but ongoing costs may include taxes, social security contributions and admin fees.

Etnopoint can help you work out what costs to expect for your business.

What documents do you need to register for VAT?

The documents you need depend on your business, but usually include:

  • Identity document and tax code
  • Details about the work you plan to do
  • Any details of your business premises
  • Any licences, permits or registrations required for your line of work

You may need additional documents depending on your business.

Etnopoint helps you find out what you need for your situation.

How long does it take to register for VAT?

How long it takes depends on your business and any required formalities.

For some businesses, registration is quick. Others may need additional registrations, permits or notifications.

Etnopoint helps you get everything ready to avoid delays.

Do I need to register with INPS?

It depends on the type of work you do.

Many self-employed people must register with an INPS social security scheme. Some professions have a dedicated pension fund instead.

Etnopoint can help you understand which registrations you need and what contributions you’ll have to pay.

Do I need to issue electronic invoices?

In most cases, VAT-registered businesses must issue electronic invoices.

You prepare the invoice digitally and send it through the Exchange System (SdI).

Etnopoint can help you handle invoicing correctly for your business.

What taxes do I pay as a VAT-registered business?

The taxes you pay depend on your tax regime, your income and the type of work you do.

Typically, these may include:

  • Income tax
  • Social security contributions
  • VAT, if applicable under your tax regime

The amounts vary from case to case.

Etnopoint can help you understand which taxes and contributions apply to you.

Can I cancel my VAT registration if I no longer need it?

Yes. If you stop working for yourself, you can apply to close your VAT registration.

First, though, check whether you still have any invoices, taxes, contributions or other obligations to deal with.

Etnopoint can help you close your VAT registration properly and check for any outstanding tax obligations.
