Dua Lipa may move her residence from London to Milan
Dua Lipa, the British singer, may move her home and tax residence from London to Milan.
She has been seen in the city and recently praised it on Instagram.
Reports say she has started the process of transferring her residence, which could be completed in early 2027.
Italy offers a flat annual tax of €300,000 on foreign income to people who have lived abroad for at least nine of the past 10 years and move to Italy.
The tax can apply for up to 15 years, regardless of how much foreign income a person earns.
The scheme has drawn wealthy newcomers, and about 2,500 people used it at the end of 2025, around half of them in Milan.
Their arrival has contributed to demand for luxury homes and investment in Italian property.
Dua Lipa may move her residence from London to Milan, according to reports cited by Corriere della Sera, with the process possibly concluding in early 2027.
