What taxes do I pay when buying?
Taxes in Italy depend on the type of property and how you plan to use it.
In general, if you are buying from a private seller, the main tax is the registration tax, which is typically:
- 2% of the cadastral value if the property will be your primary residence in Italy
- 9% if it is a second home or investment property
If you are buying from a developer (new property), instead of registration tax you will usually pay VAT (IVA):
- 4% for a primary residence
- 10% for a second home (or higher in luxury cases)
There are also fixed minor taxes (cadastral and mortgage taxes), usually a few hundred euros.
