Accountant and CAF in Madonna di Campagna, Turin
If you are looking for an accountant in Madonna di Campagna, the practice is in the same half of the city: the office at via Sant'Antonino 52, in Pozzo Strada, is a quarter of an hour by car along corso Potenza and corso Lecce. We see clients by appointment, and for businesses and families a video call is the rule.
01 · Madonna di Campagna
Madonna di Campagna, between corso Grosseto and corso Potenza
Madonna di Campagna is the north-western neighbourhood between corso Grosseto, corso Potenza and the railway to Ceres, with via Stradella as its shopping street and the sanctuary that gives it its name. It is an area that grew up around the industries of the twentieth century: some have become apartment blocks and parks, others have left sheds now occupied by warehouses, workshops, logistics firms and artisans. In between, a residential fabric of families and of pensioners who worked here all their lives.
Corso Grosseto links the neighbourhood to the ring road and to the municipalities of the northern suburbs, which explains the presence of so many transport and distribution businesses. From the practice the distance is short: corso Potenza southwards, corso Lecce, piazza Rivoli and you are in Pozzo Strada.
- By car: corso Potenza or corso Lecce southwards to piazza Rivoli, then the inner streets. A quarter of an hour.
- By public transport: the surface lines on corso Potenza and corso Lecce reach piazza Rivoli, or the metro from Massaua.
- By video call, with the documents shared on screen.
- By appointment: the office does not receive visitors without an agreed time.
02 · Companies
The businesses of Madonna di Campagna: logistics, warehouses, workshops
The former industrial areas of the neighbourhood now house small and medium-sized businesses: transport and couriers, depots, body shops and garages, installation firms, maintenance and industrial cleaning. They are companies with employees, vehicles, sheds rented or leased and a VAT cycle that allows no delays.
Bookkeeping
Ordinary accounting with the bank reconciled, stock where needed and quarterly reports for those who decide.
Vehicles and equipment
Depreciation, hire or leasing of vehicles and deductibility of the costs.
Road haulage
Sector rules: register, flat-rate deductions for trips, excise duty refunds where due.
Employees
Hiring, payslips, form 770 and benefits: the cost of labour kept under control.
Taxes
IRES (corporate income tax) or IRPEF (personal income tax), IRAP, advance payments calculated on the current year's data and losses carried forward when there are any.
A rented shed has a lease with annual registration tax and, if the landlord is a private individual, a minimum term of six years. A leased shed enters the accounts under rules of its own: the choice between the two routes must be made before signing.
03 · VAT numbers
Craft workshops and shops on via Stradella
Alongside the structured businesses, the neighbourhood is full of sole traders: auto electricians, tyre fitters, blacksmiths, plumbers, hairdressers, bars, bakeries, shops along via Stradella and in the inner streets. They need essential, regular management.
| Activity | Typical regime | Keep an eye on |
|---|---|---|
| Garage, tyre fitter, auto electrician | Simplified accounting because of the weight of spare parts | Stock and special waste |
| Plumber, electrician, blacksmith | Flat-rate scheme if materials weigh little | Reverse charge with firms |
| Bar and bakery | Simplified accounting with daily takings | Staff and hours, VAT at several rates |
| Hairdresser, beautician | Flat-rate scheme within the limits | Professional requirements and SCIA (notification of commencement) |
| Local shop | Simplified accounting or flat-rate scheme | Lease of the premises and daily takings |
| Family business | Spouse or children as collaborators | Shares of income and INPS contributions for each |
For all of them the fixed INPS contributions (social security) apply, to be paid in four instalments even in years with little revenue. Regularising quarters in arrears is possible, but costs more than paying on time.
04 · CAF services
The annual filings of the neighbourhood's families
The neighbourhood's blocks are home to families with children in the local schools and to couples who bought here because prices are lower than in the central districts. For them the practice's work is that of the CAF (authorised tax assistance centre), every year in the same months.
- 730 (the tax return for employees and pensioners) with the year's expenses: health, school, children's sport, mortgage, home works.
- ISEE (the Italian means-test indicator) in January for school meals, nursery, the Assegno Unico (universal child allowance) and utility bonuses.
- First home and mortgage for those who have bought recently, with the conditions on residence.
- Tax credits for works, in the home and in the condominium, with the documents to keep.
- Maternity and parental leave for working parents, with the INPS allowances.
- NASpI (unemployment benefit) when a contract ends, with the application within the deadline.
05 · The family home
Pensioners in Madonna di Campagna: INPS and property
Anyone who worked in the area's factories and still lives in the neighbourhood has most of their paperwork with INPS and with the home: income declarations, disability, and sooner or later passing the flat to the children.
- RED form and the other declarations INPS requests from those with income-linked benefits.
- Disability and attendance allowance, with the annual ICRIC and ICLAV declarations.
- Carer, when needed, with a contract and regular contributions.
- Social and health care ISEE for home services and residential care fees.
- Inheritance and gift of the flat, with the allowances for children.
IMU on an inherited home
Anyone who inherits their parents' flat and already has a home pays IMU (municipal property tax) on the second one.
- From the date of death, for your own share
- At the Comune di Torino's rate for second homes
- Reduced if the home is given to a child under a free loan for use, with a registered contract
- See IMU in Turin for the frequent cases
06 · Beyond corso Grosseto
Working in the neighbourhood and living in Venaria or the suburbs
Corso Grosseto leads in a few minutes to Venaria Reale, Borgaro and the municipalities of the northern suburbs. Many people work in the businesses of Madonna di Campagna and live outside Turin, or the other way round. For them the practice handles the same matters, with attention to IMU and the municipal surcharge, which follow the Comune (municipality) of residence. The page on Venaria Reale explains what changes for those living beyond the city boundary.
Frequently asked
The questions that keep coming up
I have a small transport business with three vans. Is a sole proprietorship or an SRL better?
It depends on income, risk and plans. A sole proprietorship costs less and pays progressive IRPEF; an SRL (Italian limited company) separates your assets and pays IRES, but has fixed costs for financial statements and filing. With three vehicles and employees, personal liability weighs, and it has to be put on the table.
The page on SRL and sole proprietorship shows the comparison. We redo it with your figures.
My auto electrician business is in the flat-rate scheme but I buy a lot of spare parts. Am I in the wrong regime?
Possibly. The flat-rate scheme recognises costs at a fixed rate, with the coefficient of the ATECO code (business activity code). If spare parts and equipment exceed that share, the simplified regime, where costs are deducted in full, can reduce the taxes.
The comparison is made with the purchase invoices of the last year. It is a calculation to be done every year, because you can change regime from the following year.
I inherited my mother's flat in the neighbourhood and my son lives there. Do I pay IMU?
Yes, because for you it is a second home. With a registered free-loan contract in favour of your son, and with the required conditions, the taxable base is halved.
The reduction requires you to be resident in Turin and to own at most one other home in the same Comune. We check the conditions together.
How long does it take from corso Grosseto to the office?
By car a quarter of an hour along corso Potenza or corso Lecce to piazza Rivoli; the office is in the inner streets of Pozzo Strada, just beyond. By public transport, the surface lines to piazza Rivoli or the metro from Massaua.
For bookkeeping and tax returns you do not need to come: documents and meetings travel remotely.

A small business needs up-to-date figures, not a set of accounts in June
Books kept month by month, VAT calculated before the deadline, advance payments estimated ahead of time. That way decisions are taken with data, and surprises stay few.
