Jannik Sinner’s residence in Monte Carlo.
“The fact that the new standard-bearer of Italian sport has tax residence in Monte Carlo, e therefore it does not contribute to healthcare, school and safety, to the many needs of the national community it represents, should make us doubt not so much about Sinner, but about ourselves. A people who ultimately despise themselves.”
It is this part of the reply published on Corriere della Sera by the journalist Aldo Cazzullo, in response to a letter from a reader who expressed his doubts about the fact that the tennis player Jannik Sinner resides in the Principality of Monaco.
Jannik Sinner after winning the Australian Open: in the press conference organized for the victory, the Italian tennis player was asked a question about his residence in Monte Carlo
An exchange that created quite a bit of controversy for the fresh winner of the Australian Open, who however responded during the press conference celebration of his first Slam title, won in Melbourne.
Jannik Sinner’s answer on residency
During the press conference the young champion born in San Candido (Bolzano) was asked if would return his residence to Italy. Sinner responded by recalling when “I was 18 and trained in Bordighera with my former coach who lived in Monaco, I told him that I would take it too”.
“The best thing about Munich is that there are many players you can train with, the facilities are perfect, the pitches are good. I honestly feel at home there – Sinner continued – I feel good there, I have a normal life, I can go to the supermarket with zero problems”.
An answer therefore which at the moment seems to preclude a return of residence (and for some also of tax money) of Sinner to Italy, which he confirmed that he is happy in Monte Carlo.
The other Italian sportsmen in Monte Carlo
As far as the tax issue is concerned, it is important to clarify that the income deriving from sports winnings is mostly taxed in the country in which it is received. In the specific case of Sinner therefore, taxes on the final premium will have to be paid to Australia.

Furthermore, the Italian tennis player regularly lives in the Principality, which is why there are no problems whatsoever with the tax Italian. A statement that has not always been valid for other Italian sportsmen resident in Monte Carlo, such as motorcyclists Max Biagi and Valentino Rossi.
The same thing has been said over the years for the pilot Giancarlo Fisichella and the skier Alberto Tomba. However, they live in Monte Carlo over 8 thousand Italianswhich are constantly monitored by the Revenue Agency.
