Tailored Cross-Border Setup — Because Every Career Is Different

It’s common in aviation: you hold an Italian passport, fly for a Greek airline, and your tax residency is in Italy — yet your pension isn’t accruing at home. We design a compliant setup so your salary and contributions work for you, not against you.

Italian Pilot • Greek Airline • No INPS Accrual

• Goal: Ensure pension accrues in Italy and keep take-home pay predictable.
• What we do: Assess tax residency and social-security options; where eligible, set up payroll with INPS contributions in Italy; coordinate filings and monthly reporting.
• Outcome: Legally compliant structure with pension accruing in the Italian system and clear, stable payroll.

Other common cases:
Italian cabin crew on Irish contracts • Italian residents flying for Maltese/Greek AOCs • Base changes within the EU • Mixed income or short-term assignments
How we approach it (mini-process):

1. Assessment: Tax residency, social-security applicability, and cross-border risks
2. Design: Payroll + contributions structure tailored to your case
3. Coordination: With local authorities and counterparties where required
4. Ongoing care: Monthly payroll, filings, and support

All setups are subject to individual eligibility and current EU rules. We handle the full assessment and coordinate with the relevant authorities to keep you compliant.
