Tasse Trading

What Tasse Trading does

Tasse Trading Srl is an Italian privately-held fiscal services company founded in 2011 by Melvin Clough, a former JPMorgan and Bank of America portfolio risk analyst, that operates Italy's first specialized tax-calculation software for foreign trading accounts. The company's core product is a pre-filled Modello Redditi (Italian personal income tax return) generation service that processes trading operations, currency conversions, interests, corporate actions, transfers, and option assignments across 60+ brokers and cryptocurrency exchanges — including eToro, Interactive Brokers, DeGiro, Trading212, Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken — applying Italian fiscal rules such as LIFO recalculation, IVAFE (0.2%), ETF harmonized vs. non-harmonized treatment, and 26% capital gains tax. The software was co-developed with technology partner Exelentia Ltd starting in 2012 and incorporates an AI-powered reconciliation engine that cross-validates fiscal calculations against broker economic data, supplemented by LLM-based virtual agents for customer support.

The company operates on a per-account, per-fiscal-year professional services pricing model with quote-based fees, self-serve web registration, phone-based inside sales (six lines, weekday hours), and optional electronic filing through affiliated commercialisti. Distribution is anchored by formal referral partnerships with eToro, Interactive Brokers, and DeGiro (including a "fiscalità inclusa" bundled offering), supplemented by SEO-driven content marketing, Trustpilot and Google review acquisition (4.9/5 across 2,500+ reviews), and an affiliate program. Operational scale is reported at 140,000-145,000 fiscal reports processed annually. Tasse Trading is ISO 9001:2015 certified by Lloyds Register, carries €500,000 professional liability insurance with Liberty Mutual Insurance, and is registered with share capital of €353,750.

Customer concentration is low — the end market consists of fragmented individual Italian retail traders — and revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company employs between 1-10 people, is founder-led, has not raised external funding, and operates exclusively in the Italian domestic market. Recent strategic activity centers on regulatory positioning around DAC8 and CRS, expansion of crypto-asset and self-custody wallet coverage, and deployment of AI-based reconciliation and customer support automation.
