Moving from Italy to India: AIRE + INPS Exit
Italy to India return: AIRE registration, INPS export, Partita IVA closure, 730 exit year, and Italy-India DTAA.
The 60-second version
Italian exit means AIRE municipal registration, INPS statement export, and a split-year 730 filing. Freelancers must close Partita IVA or face Italian filing obligations after you leave.
AIRE is your exit timestamp
I register AIRE at the comune before leaving. That date anchors Italian non-residency and starts India residency under Section 6.
INPS contribution history matters for future Italian pension claims even if you retire in India. Export the statement in English.
Partita IVA holders must formally cease activity — otherwise Italy expects VAT filings while you are India-resident.
