How BTP Coupon Payments Work — the mechanics
The coupon is on par. Premium bonds still pay that coupon; your yield is lower. Withholding tax for Italian residents is a separate, local-rule topic — check current legislation.
Many BTPs pay annually; some older or specific lines differ. Annual pay means more accrued swings around the coupon date than a semi-annual gilt.
Dirty price includes accrued. MOT quotes need the same clean/dirty care as anywhere else.
Retail issues may have extra payments defined in the prospectus (loyalty). Those are not the ordinary coupon.
Official sources (Italy — BTPs)
Primary statistics and prospectuses for Italy — BTPs are published by the issuer, not by this newsroom. The labelled links at the end of this page go to those official sites (DMO, TreasuryDirect, Finanzagentur, MEF, AFT, SNB or ECB as relevant).
Our live board is a teaching overlay: dated prints, named sources, estimated ISIN lines. It is not a replacement for the issuer’s calendar.
