    You need to ask an accountant this question, I suspect, rather than take advice in a forum.

    Probably an Italian one, if you're actually resident in Italy for tax purposes? (I have heard that there are one or two people in Italy who actually pay their income tax - albeit not many? ).

        I lived several years outside New Zealand and the only tax I paid was interest on my bank account and that was withholding [one or twohs?] tax

        I effectively had no income in NZ for that time.

        I returned and there was no outstanding bill. I did ask about filing tax returns was was told don't bother unless you are looking for a refund.

        My story and I'm sticking to it.

    Be careful, income is income and subject to INCOME TAX no matter what country you reside in and no matter where your paypal account is.

    Dont try outrunning the tax man, you will sleep better at night by paying income tax.

    Also make sure your not subject other taxes like sales/goods and services taxes

    Seek out an accountant

      Well, actually many countries have no income tax - the Bahamas, Andorra, Monaco and Qatar come to mind ... I'm sure there are others, too. "Just saying" ...
