Are you serious? You'll be much better declaring that income and you'll pay 10% max as a self sufficient
Good evening everyone, this is my first message, I hope to find myself well among you. I hope to receive solution advice from the experts.
I live in Italy, I have to collect 25 / 30k euros per year only with SEPA transfers, payments arrive in small monthly amounts from some European countries. The money is clean and comes from the sale of vintage items.
I would like to use EMI or any other secure method that doesn't make me lose money, without fake IDs.
Up to now I have used the personal Wise account in my name, but I am beginning to worry about the CRS.
Can you help me find a solution please?

10%???
Are you joking? In Italy we are around 40% + the pension fund after you have registered as a trader.
I hope some experts can help me.

If you register as a self employed you'll pay 5% flat tax up to 65k + 200€ / month social security up tp 15.600€ + 24% of the income over 15.600.
I know because a friend if mine is paying exactly that sum.
Ok, it's not 10% but it's more around 19% which i'd say is fair.
It will cost you more trying to optimize taxes with that level of income instead of paying taxes in Italy.
This is not the case but I exclude this possibility because I cannot do it.
Can anyone give me real advice?
How can I get paid without taking risks?
Thank you all
Not paying taxes due always involves a risk.
If you don't want to use fake IDs, you can easily find people acting as nominees for little money. Especially in southern Italy. Split between a couple of different nominees and change them every year.
EMIs are subject to CRS, so you're not getting any kind of secrecy that way.
If you don't want to pay Italian taxes, don't live in Italy.
Is there no solution to my question?
Yesterday I wrote to Wise, they continue to state that they do not exchange information, at least for now ..

relocation is the most secure way to avoid any reporting or tax fraud. However, if that is not an option you need a complete anonymous company setup to deal with this. Still there is a 1% change left that they will catch you, so it is not the cheapest way compared to a free Wise account.
