What is Livigno?
Livigno is a hidden gem in the middle of the Italian Alps. It got its first inhabitants in the 15th century; however, it was isolated with no access to the town for eight months of a year. After opening the tunnel between Italy and Switzerland in 1969 the town started growing very fast. Nowadays, it is a famous ski resort and a hiking paradise in summer.
The special VAT-free status zone
Due to the historical and geographical circumstances, Livigno has a special tax status – Italian VAT is not paid. It was granted to the town to compensate for the economic challenges posed by its isolation and harsh climate.
Livigno’s VAT-free status extends to a wide range of goods and services, making it an attractive destination for businesses. From retail to hospitality, companies in Livigno can offer competitive prices, providing a significant advantage in today’s global marketplace.
