A measure that continues to support the sector
The Renovation Bonus has been confirmed for 2025, with some changes introduced by the Budget Law. The tax deduction remains at 50% for renovations to primary residences , while it drops to 36% for second homes . The maximum eligible expenditure is set at €96,000 per property unit , recoverable in 10 annual installments .
This measure, introduced in 1997, has contributed over the years to supporting the construction sector and encouraging the redevelopment of the Italian real estate assets.
What jobs are allowed?
The interventions included in the bonus include:
-
Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
-
Restoration and conservative rehabilitation
-
Building renovation
-
Energy efficiency interventions (in some cases combinable with Ecobonus and Sismabonus)
Pay attention to the rules
Experts point out that it is essential to follow the procedures to avoid losing the tax deduction:
-
Keep speaking invoices and bank transfers
-
Verify correct communication to the Revenue Agency
-
Make sure that the work is carried out by properly licensed companies
A bureaucratic oversight can turn into a significant economic loss, given the stringent regulations and increasingly frequent checks.
Future prospects
Parliament is debating the possibility of extending the 50% bonus until 2028 , to provide stability to the sector and allow families and businesses to plan with greater peace of mind. However, some proposals aim to gradually reduce the rate to 36% as early as 2026, making the medium-term outlook uncertain.
🎯 Conclusion
The 2025 Renovation Bonus represents a concrete opportunity for those looking to upgrade their homes. The key is to be well-informed, follow the rules, and plan the work within the deadlines to maximize the benefits of a benefit that continues to be crucial to the Italian construction sector.
