New taxation scheme to purchase a house
in Italy (2016)
On the purchase of a property in Italy there is a registration tax (imposta di registro) or alternatively VAT (if the seller is a company) as well as the Cadastral and Land Registry taxes (imposte Ipotecarie e Catastali). The payment of such taxes is at the expense of the buyer.
In 2016 the Italian government has issued a new taxation scheme:
