Great property !! I can see, you guys are already looking for my property in tuscany with lots of stone, wood beams, terracotta tiles, etc, 😂 this property has lots of character for sure! I have been trying to educate myself a little bit about a very important subject. Taxes in italy! I can tell they are pretty high! Thats a bummer, i am trying to get out of the us, cause of the high cost of living, and high taxes ( specially California) and I find out italy it might be higher when it comes to income taxes. I understand there are certain areas in italy where they have a flat tax of 7% however it applies only for areas in the south of italy, so I guess i would have to reconsider moving to tuscany. Would you guys please explain to your viewers how taxes work there and what can those planning to relocate do in order to minimize then? Thanks a bunch ❤

Hi Ana👋🏼 Glad you like this one too! We almost always feature a home with character because that's what we are looking for in our future property. Haha, yes, dreaded taxes! Taxes do vary throughout Italy, and that's why the 7% flat tax regions are so attractive for us Americans. Here is some additional information from a website we reference often (link to website below): "Folks can benefit from the tax break whether they're a foreign national or an Italian citizen living abroad. The 7% tax rate does not apply only to pension income. If you meet the requirements, you can take advantage of a flat rate personal income tax of 7% on all your foreign earnings of any nature." Those regions are: •Sicily •Calabria •Sardinia •Campania •Basilicata •Abruzzo •Molise •Puglia In addition, some towns in Lazio, Marche and Umbria can also qualify. Here is the site with some great info: www.studiolegalemetta.com/legal-questions-and-answers/italian-7-per-cent-flat-tax/. Umbria might be a good option for you if you're interested in Tuscany, it's considered the "quiet Tuscany." Here are some more details regarding taxes from a website we also reference (link to website below). "In addition to the federal income tax, individuals in Italy pay a regional income tax of 1.23-3.33% and a municipal tax of up to 0,9%. Each region and municipality in Italy can change the tax rate for its residents. Wealthier areas usually pay higher rates." Website for more information: immigrantinvest.com/blog/italy-tax-system-en/. To make sure we are covering the bases here, there are also taxes for the property purchase. So, like the states, there are a few things you have to consider when purchasing a property in Italy. There are transfer taxes and stamps, notary fees and agency fees. There is a great blog we reference often, here is a blurb from it and below is the website link... Transfer taxes include: registration tax, the cadastral tax, mortgage tax. The registration tax is payable for purchase of properties for personal use (not business or companies), is usually a standard amount of 1.100,00 Euro’s (one thousand one hundred Euro). The ‘Cadastral Rendita’ is a taxable value calculated by the government for every building in Italy. Cadastral Rendita: Cadastral meaning an official record of the land and property used for the basis of taxation; Rendita meaning revenue. The Rendita is used to determine the amount of taxes due at the time of purchase and later to collect the amount of taxes that have to be paid yearly(2). Be aware that these calculations are not based on the price of the house, they are based on the Cadastral Rendita. Here is a link to the blog with lots of specifics and calculations 😊 www.abruzzoruralproperty.com/blog-en/entry/how-to-calculate-taxes-and-costs-when-buying-property-in-italy This might be our longest comment ever, haha! Hope this helps!✨🇮🇹

@@wanderingwithwine thank you guys for the long, detail info you have provided me. ( I am sure it took you some time to gather all these info, and write me this message) i will start clicking on those links, and will consider umbria as,well for my primary home. Lots of hugs for you two!,

No problem, Ana 🥰❤️

Thank you, doll 😘 We appreciate yoooou!! Have the best weekend 🇮🇹✨

Thank YOU, Ljubinka🥰 So happy to have you here 🇮🇹❤️✨

Thank YOU for joining us, Michelle 🥰✨ Have a great week!!

Hiiii Lisa & Angelo 👋🏼 Awwww… thank you so much for the kind words🥰 That is one of our goals, to help others… share, learn and have some fun while doing it. Glad you like the OMW too! Hope you guys have a spectacular weekend ✨🇮🇹

Hi Rachel!! It is pristine and quite pretty. Love Tuscany and a negotiable price 😆 Lots around, but you do need a car. Did you see your comment shout out?! Hope all is going well with your house 🙏🏻

Whoa… that is AH-MAZING!!! YES! We need to make this happen 😍✨❤️

Hi darlin!! Did those lotto numbers come through?! 🙏🏻 Haha… wasn’t his hair great? Funny thing, someone who had been watching our videos for a couple of months realized he knew Biaggio AFTER he saw the pic of B with long hair 🤯 They even got to chat this weekend!! Such a small world. When I met B, his hair looked like Eddie Vedder’s in the 90s 🔥🤤 Thanks so much! Always love when we can make someone smile and they have fun along with us 🥰 We recently started looking at Campania, that is where B’s family is from. Hopefully, we find something worth featuring soon. Thanks for joining us in Tuscany, Cheryl! Hope your Monday is going well so far❤️

@@wanderingwithwine It sure is a small world! Fancy that, realizing he knew B when he saw the long-haired photo! So lovely he found an old friend 🤩 Nooo, unfortunately my numbers didn't come up - but I will keep trying! Looking forward to your next 'find'. Have a wonderful week you two lovelies 💕💕

@@cherylguthrie9226 Right? So crazy! Okay, here’s to hoping those lottery numbers come up soon🙏🏻 “See” you Friday, sweetie 😘

Hiiii doll!! Glad you think so too✨ Thank you for educating us, in a very kind way 🥰 Gotta love a negotiable price 👏🏻 We appreciate you. Hope you’re having a fab weekend!!

Hiii Jane!! It’s really all a matter of individual needs and perspective. We are searching for a home in Italy and while we haven’t located the perfect region or town for us yet, we have found that there is really something for everyone. A lot of the folks we chat with are retired or retiring, so schools aren’t a factor, but we do find many homes with several schools in the area. For views, if you want to be in town or in a city, you may have that classic Italian view, with rooftops and mountains or sea in the distance, that many enjoy. Several in-town homes offer unobstructed views as well, and if you go outside of town a bit, the views can be simply spectacular. Thanks for popping in to join us! Have a great weekend 🇮🇹✨

Haha… that’s right!! We get why it’s one of your faves, Caddyshack is such a funny movie. Thanks for popping in Mike! Have a great week ✨

Agree!! 🤣🤣🤣 So, so good!

Awwww… thanks so very much for your kind words🥰 We recently found a property in Calabria with a killer view. It doesn’t have the charm we usually go for but it seems like that’s rare in Calabria, at least from what we are finding. We will see what we can do!! We appreciate you joining us❤️ Have the best week!!✨

Janice!! Oh my goodness, that’s awful!! Hope you heal up quickly🙏🏻 Haha… glad you like the house too! Nice phrase for the week🙌🏻 Thank you!! 😘

I’ll inform Biaggio! That will seal the deal for the move 😉

Zoë and Maui are right there with ya, Bonzai 😂 Thanks for joining us, Jean!! Don’t think we will have a yard for Bonzai this week, but we will soon ❤️✨

Hi Hope!!! Thank YOU for your kind words🥰 So glad we can help you decompress after a long work week… we definitely want everyone to enjoy and have fun too. To make sure we are following, tax for the home? We don’t always hear back from the agents but we will add it when available 😃 Have the best weekend - thanks for joining us✨🇮🇹

“Torre dell’ aperitivo” sounds perfetto! It’s been about a month, how is the house?! Twist our arm😆 Yes, Luz… that sounds spectacular💓 Wine is a bonus!! Thanks for visiting with us. Have the best week!!

Thank YOU, Anna!! We will see what we can do ✨🇮🇹 Appreciate you stopping by and for your input!! Have a wonderful weekend ❤️

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for popping in, Steven!!

Hi Marcia!! Thank you 🥰 It usually involves hours of scouring listings… would be nice if they were easier to find but it’s like a little scavenger hunt 😆 Glad you like the OMW too!! Thanks for joining us🇮🇹✨ Enjoy the weekend!!

OMGsh 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks for kindly educating us, Katerina!!❤️

We like where your head is at, Corrina!!! Thanks for joining us, as always💓 Have the beeeeeest weekend!! ✨🇮🇹

🤣🤣🤣 Great quote! Oh wow, that’s quite the compliment!! Happy to be on that list, hard to beat🥰 Thanks for joining us, David. Hope you’re having the best weekend!!

Hiii - thanks for joining us!! Have to ask, what’s your first name so we can say it when we chat☺️ It is… but yet close to so many amazing towns and things to see/do. Have the best weekend✨🇮🇹

@@wanderingwithwine Darin , Aloha from Kauai HI

@@Retired-Sanitation-Worker Hi Darin… from literally our favorite Hawaiian island!!!🏝️ 🌺

Nice work, Rick!! ⛳️👏🏻

Gave Cortona a scan… some pretty places, a bit small and pricey, BUT it’s Cortona 😍 We will keep our eye out for a good deal in Cortona, especially for a place with outdoor space. Thanks, Magnolia ✨🇮🇹

@@wanderingwithwine honestly, the sites that you showcase are the best ever. I just saw one house in Cortona that was cute. I totally defer to your know-how and expertise in sniffing out the best of the best homes, in style, price, architecture, happy hour 🍷towers, grounds, and terraces! 👏 👏👏👏 Grazie 1000😘

@@magnoliamedichini8247 you are the absolute sweetest 😘 Thank you, darlin’! 💗💗💗

We missed you guys but can’t blame you for getting in some mountain time😍 …and we hope you got Shirell a glass of vino after she made it through Lent! NO PRESSURE😅 B said “great question!” If pressed, B said he’d pick Marsciano in Umbria and he loved this property: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gThZt_t40ug.html. I don’t think I can pick the town quite yet but for a region, believe I’d pick Abruzzo or Umbria, love Piedmont too though 🤪 When we started, we were all Abruzzo. Now, we often let the properties drive our research, which may not be the perfect way, but there is a specific type of architecture we like, we want a killer view, amenities, temperate weather, and I’d like some land. Depending on where you are, Abruzzo can check a lot of those boxes. There are SO MANY towns, places many haven’t even heard of, so that’s why finding the property first helps us. Our search is definitely expanding, but it’s a big decision and we want to be sure we choose the right region, town and property. YOUR TURN… Any towns on the top of your list??? Thanks for popping in to join us!! We expect to see you guys next Friday 😉

@@wanderingwithwine Yeah, we swung by Trader Joe's on the way home and picked up your House Cab for our evening viewing...lol. (kinda weird, i know, but kinda funny too) If I had to pick right now - Tagliacozzo is ticking off the most boxes at the moment. I could grab a book, walk to the train station from old town and be in Milan in 5+ hours of awesome scenery for $100. But I know that's not the final answer - and will likely change within a week... Last week I was big on Pitigliano, but (to me) it just requires a car if you want to get there. I'd just love to have a car-less option (and I'm not big on long bus rides). B's pick is awesome - that's a solid choice. Well played. So right now I'm searching for a medieval town in Tuscany (less earthquake risk that Abruzzo - but decent weather) with reasonable train access. And driving myself crazy at the same time - as you can probably tell. Sorry - go back to your weekend... You deserve it. Thanks again.

😆 Was it your first time trying Corvelia? If so, what’d you guys think? If you can find their Zin, it’s even better than the cab. You may have seen a subscriber recommended Barrel Heist from TJ’s too - we haven’t had a chance to get to TJ’s yet to grab a bottle. Ooooooo… going to have to look at Tagliacozzo, sounds really great!! Don’t blame you for wanting a car-less option. We don’t like being “stuck” on buses or anything like that… need an easy escape plan😂 Tuscany!! We totally understand trying to avoid earthquake-prone areas. We’d love to live somewhere outside of Florence but haven’t found anything yet. You guys have to keep us posted on your search!! Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend✨

@@wanderingwithwine Shirell grabbed the Corvelia after the first time you mentioned it. It was a big hit - hence the return trip. :) Yeah, Tagliacozzo might deserve a visit. Seems to have the amenities I'm looking for - but I can't get a good feel for the vibe... I know that the perfect town is there somewhere, just have to find it. Plan is to take a trip next year and "town shop." It's a beautiful distraction from the day-to-day... Yeah, we'll keep you informed - you're like the old friends that we've never actually met...lol (crazy times)

Haha, that’s awesome!! Glad you guys like it too, it’s a great price point. We need to make a TJ’s trip to get the Barrel Heist. Started looking at Tagliacozzo, really pretty town with a decent number of residents!! You’re right about being aware of the earthquakes, looks like a few years ago there was a quake about 17 miles away with quakes around the area every once in a while. A lot of Italy is prone to them though. Believe the only area that is considered “safe” is Sardinia, ha. “Town shop” love it!! That’ll be such a fun trip. Haha, seriously! Hopefully, one day we will all be in Italy together having a glass of vino 🍷

Hiii Eric!! Biaggio is a musician, he plays a bunch of instruments, and he is patiently teaching me piano😆

Of course he’s a musician … I mean, did you see that hair?!?

🤣 Meredith! When I met Biaggio in 1997 he looked like Eddie Vedder🔥🤤 Maybe we should share those pics with you guys too!!

😂 Yaaaaasssss… Mr. Dangerfield himself 🙌🏻

Dyyyyying 🤣

Sorry, Werner! Unfortunately, there weren’t any additional pics to share that would’ve provided any additional details. Thanks for popping in ✨🇮🇹

We are going to tell all of our favorite people in a future video 😄

@@wanderingwithwine I guess I'll have to wait and see if I'm one of your favorite people then.

Well of course you are!!! Favorite people = W3 family 😄

Thanks, MaryAnne!! Appreciate the insights and for you stopping by to visit with us✨🇮🇹
