La tassazione del reddito dei lavoratori nel settore aereo, in ambito internazionale presenta numerose complessità, tanto a livello interno, quanto a livello convenzionale, che si acuiscono nel caso di rapporti di wet lease. In tale contesto, assume rilievo, innanzitutto, la qualificazione del rapporto di lavoro, al fine di poter stabilire le pertinenti regole strumentali in capo al datore di lavoro od utilizzatore. Regole destinate ad applicarsi diversamente a seconda della residenza del lavoratore. Il quadro complessivo deve esser analizzato alla luce delle disposizioni che contemplino indennità di vario genere o regole per l’eliminazione della doppia imposizione. In ambito convenzionale, poi, la tassazione del personale di volo deve esser inquadrata alla luce di regole che, in scenari multilaterali, non risolvono sempre le fattispecie di plurimposizione. La disciplina convenzionale, modificata nel 2017, resta di complessa applicazione pratica e tale complessità aumenta, naturalmente, nei casi di wet lease. In tali ipotesi, l’inquadramento della nozione di “operator” del mezzo diviene dirimente e, alla luce dell’indagine storica, si può concludere, che la nozione possa esser riferita tano al lessor quanto al lessee.

Abstract
The taxation of workers' income in the aviation sector shows several complexities at both the domestic and international levels, which are exacerbated in the case of wet lease arrangements. In this context, the classification of the employment relationship is a key driver in order to assess the relevant rules applicable to, either or both, the ‘employer’ or the ‘user’. These rules apply differently depending on the workers' residence. The overall picture must be analyzed in light of the provisions covering various types of allowances or rules for the elimination of double taxation. In Tax Treaties’ context, the taxation of the flight personnel must be framed in light of rules that, in multilateral scenarios, do not always resolve cases of multiple taxation. The OECD Model Tax Treaty rules, amended in 2017, are still complex to apply in practice, and this complexity naturally increases in cases of wet leases arrangements. In such cases, the definition of the term ‘operator’ of the aircraft is crucial and, in light of historical method, it can be concluded that the term can refer to both the lessor and the lessee.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
