Tax regimes
297 of Abruzzo’s 305 comuni qualify for the 7% pensioner regime — 97% of the region’s towns, but 64% 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.
