    IFN Islamic Finance News
    Tax treatment of Islamic finance instruments: The Italian draft law.

    By Stefano Loconte

    Read the contribution of our Founder and Managing Partner Stefano Loconte, published in Islamic Finance news Volume 17 Issue 9 – 4th March 2020, about a draft law aiming to facilitate Islamic Investments in our country.

    “One of the most important steps that Italy has taken to open the doors to Islamic finance is represented by the draft law set out in 2017, the purpose of which is to regulate the tax treatment of some Islamic financial contracts, namely Murabahah, Ijarah and Istisnah. The bill was drawn up by the VI Finance Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian parliament, chaired by Maurizio Bernardo. Moreover, the working group was supported by tax experts coordinated by our founder and managing partner Stefano Loconte. Tax Treatment is one of the biggest obstacles to the full implementation of Islamic financial contracts and instruments in countries in which conventional finance principles are applied (eg Italy)”

Also in view of the recent ruling on the Toporovsky scandal and more strict AML regulations recently introduced, nobody in the art world can still blissfully unaware of the higher standards of due diligence required today to operate in the market.

    IFN Islamic Finance News
    The impact of the Islamic finance wave in Italy.

    With the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the international magazine Islamic Finance News Stefano Loconte and Loconte & Partners were elected as representants for Italy. The contribution of the firm aims to show the significant impact of Islamic Finance and the related perspectives for the economic and social development of our country.

    “There are more than 1.4 million Muslims in Italy – almost 3% of the Italian population – with savings for US$6 billion approximately. Thanks to its strategic geographical position, Italy represents an invaluable link between European and Islamic countries. This helps explain the reason why lots of Muslims are interested in investing and moving here.. Just a few examples: the Abu Dhabi-based fund AABAR owns 5.04% of Unicredit…Understanding Islamic culture is a chance to elaborate on new financial instruments, which can increase the number of exchanges and investment between Italy and Islamic countries, and an occasion to face new perspectives”
