What Italian Payroll Options are available for Companies?

Businesses in Italy have access to a variety of payroll options, depending on their needs:

• Remote payroll – In this option, businesses choose to operate under a single payroll system for all employees, by adding employees in Italy to your parent company’s payroll. However, employees in Italy operate under different regulations, and this can cause confusion and compliance risks.
• Internal payroll – Payroll is operated out of your subsidiary, especially if you are committed to growing your company’s presence in Italy. However, this requires hiring a dedicated HR staff that understands the local employment and compliance laws.
• Italy payroll processing company – If you wish to outsource your payroll, working with an Italian payroll processing company will help in your payroll process – but this does not help with the issue of compliance.
• Italy payroll outsourcing – An option that solves both payroll and compliance needs – working with a company like Bradford Jacobs. We can handle both your payroll and compliance for all your employees in Italy. We take the stress of administration off your shoulders so you can focus on what you do best.

What is required to set up Italian Payroll?

The requirements for setting up payroll in Italy will depend on how you establish your presence in the country. If you would like to set up as a subsidiary, you will need to have your subsidiary established first – but this can take some time, depending on where you incorporate as well as the entity type you choose.

To start processing payroll in Italy, you will also need:

1. A tax code
2. An employment agency access code
3. A social security agency code
4. A Labor Insurance code
5. Registration for VAT
6. A local bank account

Registration must be done after incorporation, and before you start onboarding employees – this takes at least four weeks to get it all done.

It is mandatory for subsidiary companies to have an in-country bank account for tax and social security contributions. Employee net salaries, however, can be paid from and out-of-country bank account.

Companies with local bank accounts can benefit from reimbursements from the government or tax authorities.
