Alessandro Ferri
Tax and Accounting Lead, Rome. Fourteen years on the part of the work that starts the day after the company exists: what it owes, when it owes it, and on which form.
Role and office
Background
Alessandro Ferri handles the tax side: what an Italian company owes, when, and on which form. He spent his first four years filing Redditi SC and IRAP returns in a Rome practice, which is where he learned how much of the work is deadlines rather than rates. He now advises foreign owners on IRES, VAT registration and the reporting that follows incorporation.
That early stretch of return filing explains the shape of the pages he writes here. Everyone arrives asking what the rate is. Almost nobody arrives asking when the payments on account fall due, what happens to a VAT position that is registered late, or which filing obligation survives a year in which the company did nothing at all. The rate is one line. The calendar is the part that decides whether a year goes smoothly.
What he works on
- IRES and IRAP: the base, the adjustments that matter to a foreign-owned company, and the payment calendar.
- VAT and the partita IVA for non-residents, including registration without a permanent establishment.
- Electronic invoicing through the SDI, the exchange system every Italian invoice passes through.
- Annual accounts and filing the bilancio (the statutory financial statements) with the register.
- The tax regimes open to people who become resident in Italy.
- Corporate tax residence and esterovestizione, a foreign company treated as Italian for tax because it is run from Italy.
The recurring conversation is about where a company is actually managed. A structure that looks tidy on paper and is directed entirely from a kitchen table in another country is the single most expensive thing a founder can build without noticing.
Pages he writes
These are the pages Alessandro writes and keeps up to date. Each of them is checked by Marta De Luca before publication, so that no page on this site is reviewed by the person who wrote it.
- Italian VAT Number (Partita IVA)
- Codice Fiscale in Italy
- Corporate Tax in Italy
- Capital Gains Tax in Italy
- E-Invoicing in Italy
- Accounting Services in Italy
- Flat Tax for New Residents in Italy
- Tax in Italy for Foreigners
- Corporate Tax Residence in Italy
Pages that have not gone up yet are published one at a time, each after review. The sitemap shows which are live.
What he checks
Review runs in a ring, so that nobody signs off their own work. Marta De Luca checks Alessandro's pages, Giulia Mancini checks Marta's, and Alessandro checks the pages Giulia Mancini writes: the forms of company, incorporation, ready-made companies, branches and the register.
Checking formation pages from the tax side catches a particular class of mistake: a structure that is perfectly correct at the register and expensive from the first year of trading.
What is not claimed here
Alessandro does not use an Italian professional title and does not claim membership of any Italian professional order or of the register of statutory auditors. Those are matters of open public register in Italy, a claim to one is checked in about a minute, and we make none. Where a filing or a certification is reserved by law to a registered professional, it is done by one, and the page that describes it says so.
There is no count of returns filed on this page, no client list and no figures for money saved. We hold no number of that kind that anybody could verify, and an unverifiable number has no place on a site that asks you to check every figure it publishes.
How to reach him
Through one form and one inbox. The contact form reaches info@goldblum.ch, and anything about tax, VAT, invoicing, accounts or the filing calendar is answered by Alessandro. Where a question is really about which company to form, it goes to Giulia first and comes back with the tax consequences attached.
If a company is already planned in detail, the onboarding questionnaire is the faster route: it collects the activity, the shareholders and the timing in one pass, which is most of what a tax answer depends on. The rest of the team is on the team page.
