If you pay taxes (in Italy, say) on the income from your company, wherever it happens to be.

I get the impression that it's all something of a legal gray area. It'd be a lot simpler if people could easily have companies in their own countries.

I'm all for paying one's fair share of taxes on income in the country you live in. What I intensely dislike about the laws in Italy surrounding companies is that there are all kinds of expenses that have to be paid even if you are losing money.

Cross country working like this is tricky in the EU and its still a grey area legaly speaking

Its mainly about which country's employment laws apply.
