Tax regimes
64 of Sassari’s 66 comuni qualify for the 7% pensioner regime — 97% of the province’s towns, but 48% of the people who live in it.
The two differ because the regime caps comune size: the towns it excludes are the biggest ones. Where you’d actually be living matters more than how many towns are on the list.
