However, it is important to carefully evaluate the costs associated with both acquiring and maintaining an additional property, as taxes on second homes in Italy are typically higher than those on primary residences. <\/em><\/h5>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agenziaentrate.gov.it\/portale\/documents\/20143\/5327584\/Gli+immobili+in+Italia_2023_cap_1.pdf\/53ee1a0e-09bc-fe32-6b67-cd96a1868681\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data from the Italian Revenue Agency<\/a>, second homes account for over 17% of all residences in Italy. This figure highlights the popularity of such investment, which serve not only as a source of income, whether through short- or long-term rentals, but also as a safe asset to diversify one\u2019s portfolio. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, while owning a second home can be a rewarding choice, it also entails a significant financial commitment. Unlike primary residences, which benefit from various tax breaks, second homes are subject to a more burdensome tax regime. From the municipal property tax (IMU) to mortgage costs, these expenses can significantly impact the overall investment. Understanding the tax implications of owning a second home is therefore essential for avoiding surprises and ensuring a well-informed purchase decision.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we will explore the key expenses associated with purchasing and managing a second home, providing a clear and comprehensive overview of what to expect.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxes on second homes in Italy: the buying process<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar to buying a first home, the Italian tax system differentiates between properties bought from private individuals and those bought from businesses, with tax rates that vary depending on the type of seller.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When buying a second home from a private seller, the following taxes apply:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Registration Tax:<\/strong> 9% of the cadastral value of the property, significantly higher than the 2% rate for first homes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Cadastral Tax<\/strong>: a fixed fee of \u20ac50<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Mortgage Tax: a fixed fee of \u20ac50<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the property is purchased from a business, the taxes change as follows:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Instead of the registration tax, <strong>VAT<\/strong> is applied; for a second home, it is 10% of the purchase value (reduced to 4% for the first home). However, if the property falls under the &#8220;luxury&#8221; categories (A\/1, A\/8, and A\/9), the VAT rate increases to 22%. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Registration tax<\/strong>: a fixed fee of \u20ac200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Cadastral tax<\/strong>: a fixed fee of \u20ac200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Mortgage tax: a fixed fee of \u20ac200<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the main taxes, there are other costs to consider when purchasing a property. One such cost is the notary&#8217;s fee, which is mandatory for formalizing the deed of sale and doesn\u2019t generally fall under the <a href=\"https:\/\/adigrat.test.builders\/en\/a-brief-guide-to-taxes-when-selling-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">costs covered by the seller<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mortgage for purchasing a second home<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When financing the purchase of a second home with a <a href=\"https:\/\/adigrat.test.builders\/en\/mortgages-in-italy-demand-returns-to-growth-in-2024\/\">mortgage<\/a>, it\u2019s important to understand that the conditions offered by banks are generally less favorable than those for a primary residence. The reason lies in the nature of the property itself: banks and tax authorities do not consider a second home an essential asset, which leads to higher financial and tax burdens. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, banks typically offer financing up to 80% of the property\u2019s value for the purchase of a first home, and in some cases, they may even finance up to 100%. However, when purchasing a second home, the financing percentage usually drops to around 60%, meaning buyers need more upfront liquidity, which can make the transaction more challenging.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional differences include the mortgage term, which can extend to a maximum of 30 years, and the calculation of monthly payments, which cannot exceed one-third of the borrower\u2019s net monthly salary. Tax differences are also significant: while the purchase of a first home is subject to a reduced tax rate of 0.25% on the financed amount, second homes are taxed at a higher rate of 2%. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxes on second homes: maintenance costs<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the purchase is completed, it&#8217;s important to consider the ongoing maintenance costs, which differ from those of a primary residence. The key expenses include: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IMU (Municipal Property Tax)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMU is one of the most significant taxes for second homeowners. Unlike primary residences, which are typically exempt from IMU unless they are luxury properties, this tax is mandatory for additional properties. The IMU amount is calculated based on the property\u2019s cadastral income, which is first revalued by 5%, then multiplied by a cadastral coefficient, which is set at 160 for residential properties. The resulting figure is then multiplied by the tax rate set by the local municipality where the property is located. There are, however, situations that can reduce the IMU tax, such as when the second home is leased under a canone concordato (rent-controlled agreements) or leased without charge to a first-degree relative.    <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TARI (Waste Tax)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TARI is due for both primary residences and second homes, and it is calculated based on the size of the property and the number of occupants. However, exemptions may apply for unused second homes if the property is uninhabitable, meaning it is unfurnished and disconnected from basic utilities (water, gas, electricity). In the second home is rented out, the responsibility for paying TARI transfers to tenants under long-term rental contracts, while the property owner remains responsible for TARI in the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/adigrat.test.builders\/en\/however-the-success-or-failure-of-such-an-investment-heavily-relies-on-choosing-the-right-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">short-term rentals<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IRPEF (Personal Income Tax)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IRPEF applies to all properties that generate income for the owner. However, vacant second homes, too, may be subject to this tax, even if no income is generated. Specifically, if the vacant second home is in the same municipality as the primary residence, it must be included in the income tax declaration. In such cases, the tax is calculated based on 50% of the cadastral income, revalued by 5% and increased by one-third. For vacant second homes in a municipality different from that of the primary residence, however, IRPEF does not apply, reducing the tax burden.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxes on second homes for rent in Italy <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purchasing a second home for rental purposes involves choosing the most advantageous tax regime to optimize taxation on rental income. There are essentially two main options available: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Ordinary Regime<\/strong>, where the rental income is subject to a flat 5% deduction and is included in the taxpayer&#8217;s overall annual income declaration. The rental income is then taxed according to the progressive IRPEF rates, which range from 23% to 43%, depending on the taxpayer&#8217;s income bracket <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; <strong>Cedolare Secca (Flat-Rate Tax)<\/strong>, a preferential tax regime that applies a fixed tax rate on the income earned from the rented property. The standard rate is 21% for free-market leases, and it\u2019s reduced to 10% for rent-controlled agreements. For <a href=\"https:\/\/adigrat.test.builders\/en\/however-the-success-or-failure-of-such-an-investment-heavily-relies-on-choosing-the-right-property\/\">short-term rentals<\/a>, the tax rate is 26%, but it can be lowered to 21% if only one property unit is rented out  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>**The sole purpose of this article is to provide general information; it cannot in any way replace the advice of a qualified professional.**<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a second home has long been a popular form of real estate investment for Italians.
