Italy: CPB and Associated Firms: Entry, Exit, 35,000 Euro Threshold

Legislative Decree 148/2026 introduces a derogation for cooperative compliance (CPB) renewal: partnerships and associated firms can admit new partners with revenues under 35,000 euros without losing CPB status. Previously, any composition change risked disqualification. The rule aims to support small professional firms. Effective 8 October 2026.

Key Takeaways

  • Revenue Threshold: New entrants must have individual turnover below €35,000 to qualify for the exception.
  • Renewal Condition: The derogation applies only at CPB renewal, not initial admission.
  • Strategic Flexibility: Small firms can restructure without fear of losing the benefits of cooperative compliance (reduced audits, penalty mitigation).
