Early structuring lays the foundation for sound and successful decisions. We support domestic and international investors from the initial planning stage through to the successful completion of the transaction.

Structuring property transactions with tax efficiency in mind

The tax implications of real estate acquisitions and disposals depend to a significant extent on the chosen structure. A thorough analysis of the applicable legal framework, as well as the relevant transfer and transaction taxes, provides clarity and forms the basis for legally sound and economically viable solutions.

Direct investment or investment through a company? Which legal form is the most appropriate in the long term? Especially in complex real estate projects, these questions should be addressed at an early stage. Following a careful analysis of the available corporate structures, we develop solutions that comply with the Italian legal framework and remain economically viable over the long term.
