Remote Work Around the World #5 - next stop: Italy!

Online Online
30 September 2025

Remote work from Italy may conjure images of laptops under lemon trees and video calls with a sea view – but behind the postcard lies a complex web of legal, tax and compliance considerations that companies cannot afford to overlook.
As cross-border work becomes part of the new normal, organisations must navigate increasingly intricate regulatory environments. And Italy, while part of the EU, presents a unique legal landscape shaped by national employment laws, tax regimes and social security rules that are closely intertwined.

In this session of our Remote Work Around the World series, we’ll explore what it really means – and requires – to support remote work arrangements involving Italy. Together with a local legal expert, we’ll provide clear, practice-oriented guidance on how to remain compliant while enabling flexibility for employees choosing to work from Italy, whether temporarily or on a longer-term basis.

Key focus: Italy. What legal and tax implications arise when employees work remotely from Italian territory? What risks do companies face in terms of permanent establishment, employer obligations and reporting duties? And how can employers ensure they meet their responsibilities under Italian labour law and social security coordination frameworks?

We’ll cover:

  • Legal & tax frameworks – Italian employment law, permanent establishment risks, social security obligations and tax compliance
  • Employee entitlements – Key rights under Italian law and how to structure employment terms accordingly
  • Residency, immigration & cross-border mobility – What to consider when non-EU nationals work remotely from Italy
  • Practical implementation – Managing contracts, documentation and compliance in international remote work scenarios
