What is Italy's flat tax and who would it benefit? - The Local
After initally proposing a flat tax of 15 percent, the party now proposes a two-tier flat tax of 15 percent on annual earnings of up to 80,000, and 20 percent for incomes above this threshold. The 2019 budget law introduced a 15 percent rate for self-employed people on up to 65,000 a year. Forza Italia politician Renato Brunetta said that the idea of the flat tax is to cause a "fiscal shock that will enable the country to escape the trap it's stuck in", and increase growth levels to "more than three percent".

Super rich buying up Italy's mansions under new tax regime - Guardian
The client, a northern European entrepreneur who Heath declined to identity, is part of a growing influx of the global super-rich to Italy exploiting a little-known tax break that allows the world's millionaires to pay a "flat tax" of just 100,000 no matter how much money they earn. "There has been a huge spike in interest among the global wealthy since the tax change," Heath says in his office overlooking a picture postcard perfect view of the Ponte Vecchio in the heart of Florence. "There was an immediate 17% increase when the law changed in 2017 and, now that they [the wealthy and their advisers] are convinced that the tax break is here to stay, we are getting 350 qualified requests a month. "People love this. You get the same sort of tax savings you get in Jersey [and other tax havens] but you get to live somewhere you actually want to live."
