One of the main internationalization opportunities for companies is represented by the acquisition of contracts/subcontracts for the execution of works and/or the supply and installation of facilities abroad.

The execution of an international contract/subcontract assumes significant tax relevance, as it often involves the establishment of a permanent establishment abroad for the Italian company, both for direct taxes and VAT purposes.

On this point, the speakers will explain the criteria for the construction site opened in the foreign country to qualify as a foreign permanent establishment of the Italian company, as well as the methods for determining the tax burden attributable to the permanent establishment.

Moreover, the execution of a contract/subcontract abroad entails the need to understand the VAT and customs regulations applicable to the handling and/or transfer of goods/materials, as well as to the provision of services necessary for the execution of the contract/subcontract.

On this point, our experts will elucidate the VAT and customs regulations applicable to contracts/subcontracts to be performed both in EU countries and in non-EU countries.

Lastly, the execution of an international contract/subcontract necessitates the deployment of personnel employed by the Italian company to the construction site opened abroad, so that this personnel can physically carry out the activities subject to the contract/subcontract.

On this point, our experts will explain the legal, immigration, social security, and tax aspects related to the deployment of Italian personnel to the foreign construction site for the purpose of executing the contract/subcontract.

The webinar will have a highly practical orientation, with plenty of room for addressing participants’ questions.
