Sounds like a conclusive victory for the Italians. To be fair must long timers in FR Italia left over the last 2 years, when the noises from the taxman got louder.
I feel sorry for the folk who got based down there against their preferences. Hopefully they will at least get recognition as employees. But there again many of the newbies are using training loan payback to offset 100% of tax through their LTD company set ups.
