Taxes on funded trader payouts in Italy
Funded trader payouts received from abroad are typically taxable in Italy. Classification depends on whether the activity is habitual. Habitual traders generally open a partita IVA and may opt for the regime forfettario (15% flat) below the EUR 85K revenue threshold. Occasional payouts may fall under redditi diversi (Art. 67 TUIR). Consult a commercialista before filing your Modello Redditi.

Frequently asked questions for traders in Italy
Is FundedFast available in Italy?
Yes. Italian residents can purchase any challenge, trade the evaluation on MatchTrader and receive payouts once funded. Standard KYC is a short video call within 7 days of the first payout request -- a passport, carta d'identita or patente is sufficient.
How are payouts handled in Italy?
Payouts are in EUR or USD via SEPA bank transfer, PayPal or cryptocurrency (USDT/USDC). SEPA is the most convenient option for most Italian traders, with funds typically arriving in your Italian bank account within 1-2 business days.
How are prop trading profits taxed in Italy?
Payouts are typically taxable income. Traders who operate habitually generally open a partita IVA and may opt for the regime forfettario (15% flat rate, or 5% for the first 5 years if eligible) below the EUR 85K revenue threshold. Occasional payouts may fall under redditi diversi (Art. 67 TUIR) on the progressive IRPEF schedule. A commercialista is recommended before filing.
Is FundedFast regulated by CONSOB?
No. CONSOB regulates SIM, SGR and banks handling real client funds in financial instruments. FundedFast offers simulated challenges on demo accounts -- we do not hold client funds, so a CONSOB authorisation is not required for this activity.
Can I trade the FTSE MIB or Italian stocks?
The FTSE MIB is not currently available, nor are individual Italian equities. You have access to 60+ forex pairs as well as the major global indices (US500, NAS100, DAX, UK100), commodities and crypto CFDs.
