State of the art of tax breaks for "ordinary" building interventions and "Superbonus"

“Ordinary” deductions

The measure establishes that the deductions for building recovery interventions, energy requalification and seismic risk reduction (other than the Superbonus), with the maximum limit of eligible expenditure set at €96,000, are determined to the extent of:

Furthermore, the possibility of deducting the costs for replacing winter air conditioning systems with boilers powered by fossil fuels has been excluded. However, the incentives for hybrid systems remain.

Superbonus

For efficiency, energy requalification and improvement of seismic risk interventions that can benefit from the "Superbonus", in 2025 the application is highly limited.

The beneficiaries, i.e. IRPEF subjects for residential properties (and in some cases also IRPEF/IRES subjects for non-residential properties and some third sector bodies), will be able to take advantage of a 65% deduction. This deduction will be granted for interventions started on 10.15.2024, with presentation of: CILA (Communication of Commencement of Works) for interventions not carried out by condominiums;

  • assembly resolution approving the works and CILA for interventions carried out by condominiums;
  • application for the acquisition of the qualification for demolition and reconstruction of buildings.
  • The amount of the deduction is raised to 110% for interventions carried out in municipalities classified as "seismic areas" and for ONLUS, ADV and APS in socio-health structures, but only for 2025.

    In the interventions energy efficiency measures include:

    • energy requalification interventions;
    • installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure;
    • installation of photovoltaic solar systems and related integrated storage systems;
    • elimination of architectural barriers.
    • The interventions to reduce seismic risk include:

      • installation of photovoltaic solar systems and related integrated storage systems;
      • elimination of architectural barriers;
      • creation of continuous structural monitoring systems for anti-seismic purposes.
      • The deduction, which can be used directly in the tax return, must be divided into 10 annual installments. In case of option for discount on invoice or transfer of credit, the credit must be used in 4 annual installments.

        For expenses incurred from 01.01.2023 to 12.31.2023 relating to interventions covered by the Superbonus regulation, the deduction can be divided, upon request of the taxpayer, into 10 annual installments of the same amount, starting from the tax period 2023.

        The option is irrevocable and is exercised through the presentation of the supplementary 2024 INCOME form by 10.31.2025, or within the deadline established for the presentation of the tax return relating to the 2024 tax period.

        In the event that the supplementary declaration shows a higher tax due, this must be paid within the deadline for the payment of the 2024 balance, without penalties or interest.

        Furniture bonus and green bonus

        The furnishing bonus is provided for the purchase of furniture and large appliances intended for properties undergoing building recovery interventions. In 2025, the 50% deduction is confirmed, with a maximum spending limit of €5,000, for building recovery interventions started by 1.1.2024.

        For greening interventions in private uncovered areas of existing buildings, such as appurtenances or fences, irrigation systems, construction of wells, green roofs and hanging gardens, the deduction introduced in the Budget of 2018 and valid until 2024 has not been extended.

        Elimination of architectural barriers

        The 75% deduction for expenses relating to the general interventions for overcoming and eliminating architectural barriers, as well as for the related automation interventions of the systems and for the disposal and reclamation of materials, will be valid until 31.12.2025.

        The applicable legislation provides for:

        • interventions for the elimination of architectural barriers involving stairs, ramps, lifts, stairlifts and lifting platforms;
        • payment by dedicated bank transfer, as for the costs of recovering the building heritage;
        • acquisition of the certification issued by a qualified technician who certifies compliance with the requirements set out in Ministerial Decree n. 236/89.
        • The interventions in question can be considered "driven" by interventions for which the Superbonus is foreseen or in those with a deduction for the recovery of the building heritage.
