If this amount does not exceed € 15,000 per year, it is taxed at 23% plus 2% of the annual rent. If the annual rental income is greater than € 75,000, it is taxed at 43% plus 2% of the total annual rent.
According to Italian law, non-residents must open a local bank account and transfer the full property purchase amount to it.

On average, the tax on an 85 m² apartment is about € 850 per year.
As for utility payments, they depend on the property. Anywhere between € 200-5,000 per annum for an apartment, depending on its size, while a villa with a swimming pool will be somewhere between € 1,200-6,000 per annum.
The insurance fee depends on a property’s value and usually ranges from € 300-2,000 per annum (usually 1–2% of the property value).
For example, the payment of notary fees at 2–4% of the property's assessed value. This includes:
- Cadastral tax and a mortgage instalment – € 50 or € 200 depending on the buyer's residence permit availability;
- State duty – € 230;
- property tax – € 24.71;
- State register inscription fee – € 90;

I often have to warn clients about offers promising extremely high yields (7‑10%) and guaranteed rental contracts in the first few years of ownership. This is usually a sign of the property's illiquidity and the asking price being overestimated by at least 1.5 times. Buying such a property will usually involve paying for the 10% yield on top of everything else, and at the end of the guaranteed rental term the investor is likely to be left without the tenants and the chance to sell the property at a profit.

The most expensive apartments are located in Rome and Milan, their average cost is 5.5 thousand euros per square meter. Resort towns by the sea offer more affordable housing.

How to Buy Property in Italy
-
Select a property.
-
Obtain a tax identification number (codice fiscale). It is an analogue of a TIN that will allow you to open a bank account and purchase real estate.
-
Open a bank account. The buyer must open an account in an Italian bank by providing their TIN and passport.
-
Make an offer (compromesso, proposta d’acquisto, or riserva-offerta). In order to do this, the buyer must pay a fee totaling 1% of the purchase price or a fixed amount such as 1 thousand euros.
-
Sign a reservation offer (proposta irrevocabile d’acquisto). The reservation offer protects the buyer from the seller’s dishonest behavior and makes it impossible to close the deal once the price has been set. After that, the buyer needs to make a payment (caparra) amounting to 10% of the purchase price.
-
Sign a preliminary sales contract. The document contains detailed information about the property, the payment terms, and the guarantee for the mortgage approval.
-
Sign a final sales contract (contratto notarile di compravendita or atto notarile). This is the stage at which the buyer has to pay the remaining amount. The buyer and the seller sign the final sales contract in front of a notary 1-3 months after the preliminary contract has been signed.
-
Register the contract (conservatoria dei registri immobiliari). After both parties sign the contract, it needs to be recorded in the state department of real estate registry.
-
Get a transfer certificate. The buyer must go to the city council and declare their ownership within 24 hours of signing the contract.

Buyers pay a value-added tax of 4% when buying a primary property for permanent residence and 10% when buying holiday homes. For premium-class secondary housing, VAT is 22%.
If the property is pre-owned, then the tax is 2% for primary residences and 9% for second homes.
In Italy, there is a unified communal real estate tax whose total rate does not exceed 10.6%. There is also a capital gains tax of 20%, but the buyer only pays it if the property has been in their possession for more than 5 years.

It costs 200-5000 euros a year to pay utility bills and living in an apartment, while living in a house or villa with a pool will cost you 1200-6000 euros, depending on the size of the property and time of use. Payments to the insurance company amount to 1-2% of the property value per year.

Features of Education in Italy
Children from the age of 3 attend state kindergartens, which are free for both citizens of the country and foreign nationals. Upon reaching the age of 6, they begin their compulsory education in primary school. These schools can be either public or private. After completing primary education, children at the age of 11 automatically proceed to secondary education without passing exams. The next step after completing 12 years of schooling is getting a higher education. In order to enter a university in Italy after receiving an education abroad, students must complete a year of study at a local university or a free school.
