The key to reducing the taxation of young professionals and young sole proprietors is to keep their income below 10000 euros because that is the limit.
So those who started operations from 2019 onwards and for the first three years of their business activity are taxed at a rate of 4.5% against 9% which applies to all other companies with annual gross income (turnover) up to 10,000 euros.
According to the provisions of the Income Tax Code, the net income earned by young traders and freelancers during the first three years of their activity is taxed at an extremely low tax rate of 4.5%, provided that the annual gross income in the previous year did not exceed 10,000 euros.
In particular, it is provided that for the first three (3) years of business activity by a natural person, the tax rate of the first tier of the tax scale is reduced by 50% as long as its annual gross income from business activity does not exceed 10,000 euros.

- For those entrepreneurs and freelancers who started a profession in 2020, the application of the very low rate of 4.5% will apply for the tax year 2021 and for the tax year 2022.
