I'm official. Today Cz and I went to the town hall and I got my Codice Fiscale (my tax code) which means I can now start invoicing for the work I've been doing, pay my taxes (30% - ouch!), open a bank account and generally become part of this lifestyle. The one thing I don't actually need is a Permisso di Sogiorni - as a European citizen I'm exempt.
I'm still waiting for the company in Milan to give the yes or no about work next week but with the way the weather's been, I won't be horribly disappointed if the answer is no.
I'm really looking forward to the end of the term (three and a half weeks) and getting back to the UK for Christmas. The next thing after that will be settling into my new home and moving my classes to there - no more being driven to other people's homes and teaching in their living rooms. Interesting as that has been, it is also extremely distracting for the kids (who find it hard enough to concentrate as it is).
Life is good.

i'm happy to see you more and more driving things in the direction you like.
Only concerned about the italian tax-as you know I do know about!!
i think the tax accountant you're dealing with suggested you to use a simplified accounting system, good if you invoice less than 30KE/year-you can't deduct some expenses or VAT but you pay a lot less and in a fix %
But newerless,my guts push me to steer far away from the italian tax authorities.Why not an UK LTD?
Now I'm officially expat in C so I feel rebirth!
