The issue of cross-border workers, with the recent entry into force of the December 23, 2020 Swiss-Italian Tax Agreement, has raised new tax-related questions on both the Swiss and Italian sides. On the one hand, the Division of Contributions (DdC) of the Canton of Ticino wanted to revise, with 2024, its practice of allowing an a posteriori correction of the tariff only for "old" border workers, who will be able to claim additional deductions not included in the withholding tax rates (maintenance contributions, extraordinary payments to the second pillar and ordinary payments to the third pillar A). The possibility is, on the other hand, denied to "new" cross-border commuters, as they are obliged to declare income from employment in Italy. In addition, again the DdC, as of January 1 this year, no longer provides for individual taxation for married tax frontier workers, respectively revised downward the municipal tax multiplier from 100 percent to the average. There is, then, the issue regarding whether or not general and social deductions should be taken into account in the withholding tax rates for "new" border crossers and those who are domiciled beyond 20 km from the border or who do not have tax border status. In fact, their state of residence already considers their personal and family situation, which in doing so would be considered twice: in Switzerland as the source state and in Italy as the state of residence. On the Italian side, considering that the new Tax Agreement on frontier workers provides for reciprocity, the question arises to know how a "Ticino" frontier worker is taxed in Italy (at source and with what deductions), respectively how the tax exemption in Italy is considered and the tax credit granted, again in Italy, towards the "Italian" frontier worker, also in the light of recent Italian case law.
