Italy will double a flat levy on foreign income for wealthy new residents who’ve been flocking to the country to take advantage of it.

The €100,000 ($109,000) a year payment — which exempts people moving to the country from taxes on overseas earnings, gifts and inheritance for 15 years — will rise to €200,000, Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said Wednesday.
