Il pre-partita IVA

often ask me advice whether or not the VAT . For those who do not have it, there is middle way: either it is a fabulous solution (works alone, no animals, take all the money of your work, you are free to take vacations when you want, etc.). or is it a resounding drum (you would not be a fugitive, depend on what the accountant says, you have no job security, etc.).. As always, in medio stat virtus . I have 14 months of experience on the VAT, I opened more by necessity than by choice and, therefore, I think that might be useful to have my say. Because up to one year and a half ago I even went to the hall of the brain to the freelancer (and I never thought of himself as an entrepreneur, let's see what happens). For this, I can give a very simplified version of the thing. advantages and disadvantages, no frills, based on my experience . Why the world of work in Italy is a jungle . If anyone can help, the better.

• Mode: to register for VAT does not cost anything, just go to the nearest office of the Agency of entry, fill out forms and go. In addition, you can close when you want. Eleven digits that distinguishes you. But it must be clear what rules to adopt ( minimum taxpayers, subsidized regime, etc.). and what work needs to be done (every profession has its code ATECO ) because you must report it on form. Even from here you can see why both need to use a professional or an accountant . The choice is yours, I advise you to find a person of absolute trust . You are alone against the bureaucracy, one that responds quickly to your (many) questions should get it, ever.

• Relationship with the tax authorities and companies : minimum for taxpayers, it is very simple since it only serves to keep copies of invoices and tidy little else. For other schemes, there are other obligations, but nothing so complex. This will serve to make the single form of income tax returns. It makes invoices to customers, are sent (via mail and / or e-mail, simply), and we have to establish they have got. The problems will be more companies who want to have clarification on specific costs or various ways (such as withholding , an argument that companies seem more mysterious ancient Sanskrit). Another confirmation that need someone to ask (a move at the right time is ideal for administrators who call the phone).

• Cost: the cost of their work is one of the hardest things to estimate , especially if, like me, it comes from being an employee. I chose to use an hourly rate but the possibilities are many. Customers always say, and I always say that you are dear (professional deformation), but for them to have a consultant with VAT has some clear advantages in cost-effectiveness ( here you can get an idea ). There is the cliche that the professions are all evaders. With regard to management consultants, the speech does not exist. Why? The reason is simple, business customers (those who pay) agrees that invoices . Read here, everything is very clear .

• Opportunities : open the VAT gives you the opportunity to work alone, without leaders that stresses you or tell you what to do. But I tell you one thing: a leader sometimes wish. Impossible? When you face the questions of customers, it will happen. But the most important thing in choosing whether to become self-employed is have, at least, a customer 100% sure to start with . 100% is not 99%, stress. Why? This is the picture: the contract signed today, the invoice sent it to him later this month (go 30 days), they are charged at 30 or 60 days (ie, 60 or 90 after the signature), taking into account 10-15 days to add a couple of telephone reminders. It means wait at least 2 ½ months before seeing real money, in a case optimistic. If we add the time needed to find a customer, life becomes very, very difficult.

These are just simple considerations of who's been through some things . In some cases it will get better, others worse. And I left out some key parts, such as the F24 be paid to the bank to make tax payments, social security institutions , maybe I'll talk about in another post. But I want to give some useful advice to those who, like me, you found yourself having to ask for advice on VAT. On the Internet you'll find many things but 95% of them are totally useless or incomprehensible. If I can help at least one person, I've reached my goal. Let me know.
