Additional costs
Luxury homes, as defined by Italian property law, do not qualify for the concessionary rate of tax (currently 3%) available to residents, or to those intending to establish residence within a year, buying their first house.
In these cases tax + registry charges on residential property will total 10% of the ‘valore catastale’. These are calculated by the notary according to a number of assessment criteria which often results in a figure considerably below the purchase price.
Agricultural land is currently subject to tax at 18% of its ‘valore catastale’.
Agency fees are normally 3% of the purchase price, + IVA (currently 20%)
If an architect or geometra is employed, charges are generally calculated on a time-related basis. It is advisable to obtain quotes for any major works or renovation projects.
Villatua recommends all prospective purchasers to seek advice on likely tax obligations, as individual circumstances may alter the amount significantly
