Service details
Tax advisory and tax planning are among the highest value-added services that Studio CITI snc offers its clients. It is not simply a matter of completing returns, but of analysing the client's overall situation and identifying the most fiscally efficient strategies in full compliance with the law.
Proper tax planning begins with choosing the most appropriate legal structure for the business: sole trader, partnership, Srl, simplified Srl. Each structure has significantly different tax, social security and asset liability implications. The firm evaluates the pros and cons of each option in relation to turnover, number of partners, governance requirements and growth objectives.
Among the most commonly used tax planning tools: the choice of accounting regime (standard vs simplified), optimal management of depreciation and deductible expenses, planning of dividends in corporations, use of permitted tax deductions, management of the timing of revenue and cost recognition, and business succession planning.
The firm also offers social security advisory services: managing INPS contributions (for craftsmen, traders, and separate management) has a direct impact on the overall tax burden and future pension. A careful analysis of contribution rates and bases makes it possible to optimise the overall levy, balancing immediate tax efficiency with future pension protection.
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth setting up an Srl to pay less tax? +
Not necessarily. An Srl is taxed at 24% IRES on company income, but when profits are distributed to shareholders as dividends, they are subject to additional taxation. For medium-to-low incomes (below 50,000-60,000 euros per year), a sole trader or partnership is often more advantageous. The choice also depends on investment needs within the company, the presence of multiple partners, and asset protection requirements. The firm analyses the specific situation with numerical simulations.
What is lawful tax planning and how does it differ from tax evasion? +
Lawful tax planning consists of using all the tools made available by law to legitimately reduce the tax burden: deductions, allowances, incentives, choice of the most advantageous tax regime, timing of transactions. It differs from tax evasion (which is illegal) and from tax avoidance (which exploits regulatory gaps in a manner contrary to the spirit of the law, which is also penalisable). The firm operates exclusively within the bounds of the law.
How far in advance should I consult the accountant to plan taxes? +
As early as possible, ideally at the beginning of the year or at least in autumn for the current year. Many tax decisions (such as choosing the regime, incentivised investments, extraordinary transactions) must be made before the end of the financial year to have effect in that year. Waiting until the return filing deadline leaves no room for optimisation.
