📌 Introduction
If your royalty payment has already been processed, it is not possible to retroactively apply new taxation. However, the documentation you provide now will be aligned for future payments.
Below are the instructions on what to do for the Tax Residence Certificate notification.
1️⃣ Have you just received the Tax Residence Certificate, but the payment has already been made?
✔ If the payment has already been processed, it is not possible to retroactively apply the reduced rate.
✔ For future payments, upload the certificate in:
Payments > Payment Information > Tax Profile in your account.
✔ From the next Pay Day onwards, the taxation will be correctly applied with the withholding reduction.
📌 Note: The Tax Residence Certificate must be updated to the current fiscal year and issued in English by the Competent Authorities.
If you're tax residence is in Italy and you adhere to the flat-rate regime, it will be valid only for payments following the tax profile update.
📌 FAQ
❓ Can I apply the withholding reduction to payments already made?
✔ No, tax changes apply only to future payments.
❓ If I upload the Tax Residence Certificate today, when will it be valid?
✔ From the next Pay Day onwards, according to the payment calendar dates.
📌 Conclusion
✔ If the payment has already been processed, tax changes cannot be applied retroactively.
✔ For future payments:
Tax Residence Certificate → Upload it in Payments > Payment Information > Tax Profile.
