I hope you are enjoying the summer weather and the return to comparative normality – long may it last!
I wanted to let you know about a new podcast episode that has just been released. It is entitled “Brexit (and more…)”, so will be of particular interest to UK nationals residing or considering taking residency in Italy, but it also explores quite a few topics that will be more generally applicable.
As it’s quite a long episode, I thought it would be helpful to give you an index of topics covered and the approximate minute markers so that you can easily locate the sections that are of interest to you.
- 1:28 – Working with a UK financial adviser as an Italian resident
- 8:55 – Equivalency in financial services between UK and EU
