Non-commercial bodies and associations in Italy: institutional activity, EAS notice and ENC return
How Italian tax law reads an association: the main purpose that makes it a non-commercial body, which income counts and which stays out, membership fees versus specific charges, the Article 148 exception and the activities that are always commercial, the clauses the articles of association need and how the status is lost. Then the formalities: the EAS notice within 60 days, exemptions, late-filing relief, separate accounts, shared costs and the Redditi ENC return. Two modules with case studies, 2026 rules.
