Re: Van Share Italy to France or Beyond

Have you looked at Shiply? You tell them what you have, and then people quote to provide the service, it works like a reverse eBay

Re: Getting Italian Residency

Doesn't that depend on how long he's spent back in the UK each year? He does say he's made several trips back.

Re: Self Employment, VAT & Tax.

Re: Self Employment, VAT & Tax.

We don't have to register for VAT - I'd hate to even consider the bureaucracy involved in that :(

Re: Self Employment, VAT & Tax.

Both the missus and me have been self-employed for almost 2 years. There are several schemes for 'new starters' called minime (sp). The one we both have is a 5-year agreement where we pay 10% tax on...

Re: Translation of V5C document

Although this might make driving easier, be aware that if you want to register it in Italy, it will need the odometer to read in KM, and the lights will need adjusting

Re: Travelling/agricultural work

I must admit, I can't believe (although I really shouldn't be surprised) that they have scrapped the vouchers without having something in place to replace them. I (think) they issued something like...

Re: Cars in Italy

Changing over to Italian plates for most RHD cars is an absolute minefield to try and get your head around :( The process itself is relatively simple if a tad long-winded. There is a simple...

Re: UK driving licence and motorbike lessons

Can't help with the tests etc. I'm still on my UK licence with full bike entitlement.

I brought my old 1978 Goldwing over, and last year, I got my grubby paws on a 250 2-stroke Moto Guzzi :D I...

Re: Questions and feedback about Piemonte region

Can't get much bigger than Roma, only an hour and a half away by car or train from us :) Chuisi is 25 minutes away, and from there you can get a train pretty much anywhere. Siena & Florence are about...

Re: Questions and feedback about Piemonte region

You say you want a rural (outskirts of a village) location, but aren't planning on having a car. You may wish to look at some sort of vehicle, as public transport is very hit and miss in rural...

Re: how can I find out the address of a person in Padua?

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Did you actually physically meet with this person? If so, where? Or, was this an internet thing? Sadly, It 'smells' to me like one of those scamming...

Re: Moving to Abruzzo

It may be that we're on a hill - about 1,200 feet - but the only one we felt was the really big one. And then, my chair rocked a bit, but little else. I also think the mountains between us and the...

Re: Moving to Abruzzo

Have you considered Umbria at all? Despite being further North, we have had a fairly mild winter. The cost of buying property is slightly higher than Abruzzo (I think), but the climate is a fair bit...

Re: Declaring presence in Italy

Why extra careful? To be honest, so what? What exactly will it change for you? Just because you're not going to be an EU citizen at some vague point in the future, do you think Italy is going to kick...

Re: Health insurance providers?

I used Cattolica - Home (http://www.cattolica.it/) at a cost of 587 EUR for both me and the missus. This seems to be the cheapest I've heard of

Re: What company should i use to get satellite internet in Abruzzo?

I have not long had satellite installed, and I have to say, I'm impressed with the speed and reliability. It's true, it's not cheap, I pay 58EUR a month, which includes rental of the modem. But I get...

As both my wife and I rely on the internet for work, it is essential that we have both a good speed and a reliable connection. We were with Tiscali for the first 12 months, but we averaged about...

Re: TV?

You'll also need a VPN service as the UK terrestrial channels are only available in the UK. The VPN tricks the website (ITV, BBC, etc.) into thinking you're based in the UK ;) The BBC are continually...

There is a way using Satellite, but it's expensive and you generally need a very large dish ;)

There's a company that can supply you with a UK Sky card for about 200EUR a year. Then you have to...

Re: Private health insurance

Re: Falling pound

It's not that people weren't able to vote on the details, it's that it was impossible to make any sort of 'informed' choice. Which makes the whole thing rather pointless :( It's like having a vote to...
