Roth IRA vs. Traditional IRA

4 months ago
My partner and I are planning to retire in Italy in the next 4-5 years. I’m clear that certain regions have a flat tax of 7% as an incentive to bring back population in these areas. Regardless of the region, I’d like to hear from current expats on how they navigate taxes in retirement. I’ve read on this forum that some hire tax attorneys that ensure you are not double taxed on Roth IRA distributions, but I’ve also read that Italy does not recognize Roth IRAs in general. My question is should I consider continuing to invest in my traditional IRA and pay the Italy tax rate on the amount withdrawn every year?
