La tesi esamina il tema del trattamento fiscale dell’influencer, ormai figura chiave nell’ambito dell’economia digitale. La rapida espansione di questo settore, che unisce attività promozionali, creazione di contenuti e valorizzazione dell’immagine personale, solleva nuove problematiche per il diritto tributario, mettendo in discussione i tradizionali criteri di classificazione del reddito e della base imponibile. Dallo studio emergono importanti criticità nella normativa attuale, in particolare per quanto riguarda la gestione dei compensi in natura (barter), l’impiego di strutture societarie estere per finalità di pianificazione fiscale e l’applicazione coerente dell’IVA ai servizi digitali con dimensione transnazionale. In conclusione, vengono proposte possibili opzioni di riforma, finalizzate a garantire maggiore certezza giuridica ed una più equa imposizione fiscale, senza compromettere la competitività del settore.

Abstract
The thesis examines the issue of the tax treatment of influencers, who have now become key figures in the digital economy. The rapid expansion of this sector, which combines promotional activities, content creation, and the enhancement of personal image, raises new challenges for tax law, questioning traditional criteria for the classification of income and the determination of the tax base. The study highlights significant shortcomings in the current legislation, particularly with regard to the management of in-kind compensation (barter), the use of foreign corporate structures for tax planning purposes, and the consistent application of IVA to digital services with a cross-border dimension. In conclusion, possible reform options are proposed, aimed at ensuring greater legal certainty and fairer taxation, without undermining the competitiveness of the sector.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
