Your AI commercialista
Answers cited from Italian law
Hi — ask me anything about opening or running a business in Italy. I answer from the law itself, and I tell you which source each answer comes from.
Not another chatbotSourcesAsk a free question
The AI that cites the actual law — not the one that made things up.
You've tried ChatGPT and got confident, contradictory answers. TaxCompass retrieves from primary Italian sources and shows the citation behind every fact, so you (and your commercialista) can verify it.

From confused to a clear plan in minutes.
No blank chat box. A guided path that ends with a plan you can act on.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us your situation
A few quick questions — where you're moving from, what you do, what you expect to earn. No tax jargon.
- Step 2
Get your sourced plan
Your recommended regime, estimated tax + INPS in real euros, ATECO code, and the cross-border traps to watch — every fact linked to the law.
- Step 3
Hand off to an expert
When it's time to file, route to a vetted commercialista who already has your full context — no re-explaining.
Italian tax & business terms, in plain English
Forfettario, partita IVA, INPS, impatriati and more — each defined for foreign founders and cited to the primary source, so you can verify every word.
Not just opening a business — running it.
Setup is only step one. The same assistant handles the day-to-day after — and gets sharper about your situation every time you use it.
Your setup plan is free today; invoicing, returns and bank sync roll out as you grow.
Beyond setup
- Run the day-to-day
- Coming next: create invoices by typing or talking, keep your numbers current with secure bank sync, and get your annual return prepared — guided and sourced.
- Knows you better over time
- Your invoices, expenses and past questions live in one place, so every answer is tailored to you. The more you use it, the better it knows you — it becomes your tax memory.
- A human when it matters
- When something genuinely needs a licensed commercialista, we route it with your full context attached — no re-explaining, no cold email.
Your data stays in Europe — and is never used to train AI.
We built TaxCompass for people who care where their tax data lives. Models, database and diagnostics all run on EU-resident infrastructure.
- EU-resident, end to end
- The AI models, the database and our telemetry all run in the EU — Microsoft Azure, Italy North. Your data never leaves Europe.
- Never used to train AI
- Your questions, intake and documents are processed only to answer you. Your content is never used to train the underlying models.
- Your data, your control
- Sign in and you can export everything or delete your account at any time — the full set of GDPR rights.

Compare regimes
Why is this so hard?
Same revenue, four different Italian regimes, four different take-home numbers — sometimes a €20k+ swing on the same gross. The choice depends on impatriate eligibility, expected revenue, profession, and timing. We'll figure it out together.
Italy · Partita IVA · 2026
Net take-home vs gross revenue
Line chart: net take-home (or effective rate) by gross revenue for the four regimes; forfettario lines end at the €85k cap, and a marker at €122,295 shows where INPS stops growing. The cards next to the chart list the same numbers as text.
Forfettario lines stop at the €85k revenue cap. IRPEF brackets here include average regional + comunale addizionali; coefficiente 78% (typical for professional services). Same numbers as the deterministic engine behind the chat. See the exact coefficient & numbers for your profession →

Questions
Answers before you start
- Is TaxCompass free?
- Yes. Asking questions and building your full setup plan is free, with no account needed.
- Can I just ask a quick tax question without building a plan?
- Yes. Open the chat and ask anything about Italian freelancer tax — forfettario, INPS, ATECO, deadlines, the impatriate regime. You get a plain-English answer in seconds, every fact cited to the law, free and with no account.
- Is this tax advice?
- No — TaxCompass gives you grounded orientation, not tax advice. A licensed commercialista reviews and signs off before anything is filed (Art. 348 of the Italian criminal code).
- Do I still need a commercialista?
- For the actual filing, yes — and we hand you off to a vetted one with your full context. TaxCompass does the research, questions and prep so that handoff is fast and cheap.
- Can I use it if I'm not an EU citizen?
- Yes. TaxCompass covers both EU and non-EU founders, including the permit and fiscal-representative rules that apply to non-EU citizens.
- Where do the answers come from?
- Primary sources — Normattiva, the Agenzia delle Entrate and INPS. Every factual sentence links to the document it came from, so you can verify it.
- Is it really in English?
- Yes — TaxCompass is English-native (and multilingual). No more translating Italian tax portals or guessing.
Ready when you are.
A few questions, a sourced plan, real numbers — then you decide. Free, no account, and a vetted human when it matters.
