Incentives for renovating your home

Intervening on your property while benefiting from tax breaks is possible. It all depends on the type of work you want to carry out and the goals you wish to achieve. To date, in fact, there are various incentives whose expiry is not imminent. And, although they are not zero cost, they allow you to face renovation and efficiency costs with good savings. 

Super bonus 90% in 2023

For those who have decided to start the works from 1 January 2023 and have not submitted the Cilas by 25 November 2022, the super bonus rate has dropped to 90%. Specifically, article 9 of the quater aid decree modified article 119 of the Relaunch decree, establishing that for interventions started from 1 January 2023 on real estate units by natural persons outside the exercise of a business, arts and professions activity, the superbonus is due in the amount of 90% of the expenses incurred by 31 December 2023.

Renovation bonus 2023, what it includes

If you want to undertake work on your property with extraordinary maintenance, restoration and conservative rehabilitation, building renovation, you can benefit from the renovation bonus 2023. To date, it is possible deduct from Irpef 50% of the expenses incurred from 26 June 2012 to 31 December 2024, with a maximum limit of €96,000.00 for each real estate unit. 

Extraordinary maintenance includes the installation of elevators and safety stairs, construction and improvement of toilets, replacement of external fixtures and windows or shutters with shutters and modification of material or type of fixture, renovation of stairs and ramps, interventions aimed at energy saving, fencing of private areas, construction of internal stairs; restoration and conservative rehabilitation include interventions aimed at the elimination and prevention of situations of degradation, the adaptation of the heights of the floors in compliance with the existing volumes, the opening of windows for ventilation needs of the rooms; Building renovation includes the demolition and reconstruction with the same volume of the pre-existing building, the modification of the facade, the construction of an attic or a balcony, the transformation of the attic into an attic or the balcony into a veranda, the opening of new doors and windows, the construction of toilets in expansion of the existing surfaces and volumes.

The 2023 restructuring bonus must be divided into ten equal annual installments. The relief is aimed at taxpayers subject to Irpef, whether or not resident in the State, who support the renovation costs. In particular, those who can benefit from the relief are the owners of the properties subject to the intervention, the holders of real/personal rights of enjoyment on the properties, the tenants, the family member cohabiting with the owner or holder of the property subject to the intervention (spouse, member of the civil union, relatives within the third degree and relatives within the second degree), the cohabitant more uxorio (for expenses incurred starting from 1 January 2016).

Building renovation with 65% bonus

Building renovation with the 65% bonus, as currently foreseen, is possible for expenses incurred by 31 December 2024. As specified by the Revenue Agency, for the majority of interventions that fall within the ecobonus the deduction is equal to 65%, for others it is 50%. The benefit consists of a deduction from the Irpef or Ires, to be divided into ten annual installments of the same amount, the amount of which varies depending on whether the intervention concerns the single real estate unit or the condominium buildings and the year in which it was carried out. The interventions must be carried out on real estate units and on existing buildings or parts of buildings, registered or for which registration has been requested, of any cadastral category, even if rural, including those instrumental for business or professional activity, goods or assets.

The Revenue Agency also explained that for interventions carried out on the common parts of condominium buildings or which affect all the real estate units that make up the single condominium, different rules and measures are envisaged. When certain energy performance indices are obtained, you can take advantage of higher deductions (70% or 75%), to be calculated on a total amount not exceeding 40,000 euros multiplied by the number of real estate units that make up the building. For interventions on the common parts of condominium buildings located in seismic zones 1, 2 and 3, aimed jointly at reducing seismic risk and energy requalification, a deduction of 80% is envisaged, if the works determine the passage to a lower risk class, or a deduction equal to 85%, if the interventions determine the passage to two lower risk classes. The benefit, in these cases, must be calculated on an amount of expenses not exceeding €136,000.00 multiplied by the number of real estate units that make up the building.

Bonus for the elimination of architectural barriers

Based on the latest extension, the relief will remain in force until 31 December 2025.

Individuals, condominiums or businesses can benefit from the architectural barrier bonus.

As specified by the Revenue Agency, the benefits linked to building renovation include the expenses incurred for lifts and hoists, for elevators outside the home, for the replacement of steps with ramps, both in buildings and in individual real estate units, and those for the creation of tools which, through communication, robotics and any other technological means, promote the internal and external mobility of people with serious disabilities.

  • €50,000.00 for single-family buildings or real estate units within multi-family buildings that are functionally independent and have one or more independent accesses from the outside;
  • €40,000.00, multiplied by the number of real estate units that make up the building for buildings made up of 2 to 8 real estate units;
