Italy Business Registration Checklist for Remote Payroll

Before initiating payroll services with Remote in Italy, please review this checklist to ensure your business has completed all necessary registration steps. This will help streamline the process and avoid any potential delays.

Mandatory Items

1. Does the company have a local Italian bank account? It's mandatory to make F24 form payments (covering social contributions, insurance contributions, and taxes) to the authorities from an in-country bank account. All other payments can be made from anywhere.
2. Has your company registered with the Italian Tax Authorities (Agenzia delle Entrate)? The registration process with the Italian Tax Authorities involves multiple steps and varies based on your business entity type.
3. Has your company registered with Italian Social Security? Employers must register with the National Social Security Institute (INPS - Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale). This ensures employees are covered for social security benefits, including healthcare, pensions, and unemployment. Registration should be completed within the first month of hiring your first employee.
4. Is your company registered with the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL)? INAIL (Istituto Nazionale per l'Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro) provides coverage for workplace accidents and occupational diseases. You must complete the registration by your first employee's first working day.
5. Has your company completed the Labour and Employment Registration? Labour and employment registration in Italy involves several steps and requirements. This process ensures compliance with Italian labour laws and regulations. Visit the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies website to read more.

Recommended but Not Legally Required

1. Are all internal company agreements and policies aligned with local Italian laws? Ensuring your company's internal documents comply with Italian regulations is crucial for smooth operations and legal protection.

Optional Items

1. Does your company offer private healthcare? Many companies provide additional private health insurance as a voluntary benefit to attract and retain employees, particularly in competitive industries.
2. Does your company offer a Voluntary Complementary Pension Scheme? Beyond the public pension system, companies can choose to offer a voluntary complementary pension scheme (Fondi Pensione Complementari), but it is not a legal requirement.
