Tax Treatment of Blue Crab Fishing – Entrepreneurial Inquiry on Direct and VAT Taxes

  • Mr. TIZIO has submitted a request for clarification regarding the tax treatment of the activity of capturing, collecting, transporting, and selling/disposing of “blue crabs” (Callinectes Sapidus)
  • He is a fishery entrepreneur who also engages in the breeding of mollusks in demarcated maritime areas in the Sacca di Goro and Comacchio zones
  • He quantifies his income for direct taxes according to the Tuir and determines VAT based on the Decreto IVA
  • The uncontrolled proliferation of blue crabs has led to extraordinary measures by the Emilia-Romagna Region and MASAF for their collection and disposal/sale
  • Blue crabs have a low commercial value compared to clams
  • The breeding of clams in the Sacca di Goro and Comacchio is done in demarcated maritime areas specified by the Emilia-Romagna Region
  • The breeding of other species is excluded by administrative provisions
