    Your assertion that it doesn't matter is false. You even accepted that in your own post about visa-free travel (tourism and limited business purposes), which would not have happened, absent a deal.

    No that was all arranged well beforehand. Visa requirements are different for each member state, and I checked that Italy already had a visa waiver program in place.

    The OP is not providing a regulated service, which is why you couldn't find anything on it. If there is a problem the client will inform him.
    I'm alright Jack

      I think that the relevant question would be how do you invoice in relation to VAT?
      Any opinions on that?

        No, only the basics were arranged back in ~April 2019 (IIRC), which was a unilateral measure, but based on reciprocal access. The details on mobility and permitted business travel are indeed part of the deal.

          Yes it was unilateral, but it doesn't matter does it. The procedures were put in place. It's nice that it is now also part of the trade deal.

              Permitted business travel has been codified and clarified by the deal. The deal is the definitive text on what business activities are allowed for service providers from 1 January (and what is required/prohibited for regulated industries). As far as general IT services for Italian clients, there's nothing specific, so the general rules would apply for business travel (up to 90 days across the Schengen area, 6 months+ on your passport, no paid employment etc.).

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Yep, and it seems like PI insurance from an EU provider, although I could’ve misinterpreted that.

                    Then again, I'm not certain about health insurance either - haven't looked at the text, but the IFG summary is as follows:

                    Individuals’ access to healthcare during short-term visits to the EU (and vice versa) was included in UK and EU negotiating asks, but was expected to end at the end of the transition period. This will no longer be the case – and means that in many cases UK nationals travelling to the EU (and vice versa) will continue to have access to state provided healthcare – often for free.
                    Needs a closer look.
