FAQ about Calabria
How much tax is paid on residential rentals?
Italy has progressive tax rates. If you lease residential real estate on a regular basis you need to declare your
total annual rental income every year. 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.
However, paying less tax is possible: for example, when registering a rental contract with the cedolare secca option,
the tax rate is fixed at 21% of the annual rent. And on a comodato d'uso contract, no tax is paid because this type
of agreement implies a temporary provision of housing for free.
What is the property purchase payment process?
According to Italian law, non-residents must open a local bank account and transfer the full property purchase amount to it.
In addition, 10% of the deposit must be paid by bank cheque. When the notarial act is issued, the bank will issue a cheque
with the remaining amount to the seller.
What documents are required to buy property in Calabria?
- Passport;
- Marriage certificate or premarital agreement;
- Tax identification code – codice fiscale (on request from an Italian consulate in the applicant's home country or the local tax authorities).
Which regions of Italy offer the cheapest property prices?
It’s possible to buy a one-bedroom apartment for about € 60,000 in the city of Pizzo (Calabria) and from € 105,000 in the region of Abruzzo.
How much does it cost to maintain real estate in Calabria?
Residential property maintenance costs comprise three parts: tax, utilities, and insurance. Italy introduced a unique communal property tax called imposta unica comunale (IUC) on January 01, 2014. It is calculated on three taxes:
- Municipal property tax (imposta municipale unica, IMU). It is levied at 0.76% but not on the real estate used as primary residence;
- Waste tax (TARI) – about € 100;
- Municipal tax for road maintenance, street lighting, and so on.
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)
Can Italian citizenship be obtained through buying real estate?
Property owners do not automatically become Italian citizens. It is necessary to live in the country for at least 10 years
before becoming eligible for citizenship.
Which regions of Italy are the most promising for investing in real estate?
The most advantageous regions in terms of property investment are Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria thanks to the well-developed
infrastructure, which fuels price growth.
What is the process for the transaction closure?
To start, you need to open an Italian bank account and obtain a tax identification code. After that, a deposit is paid
to reserve the property. The sum of the deposit is 1% of the purchase amount. Next, a sales agreement is signed.
If the transaction closure is particularly time-consuming, a preliminary agreement with a deposit of as much as 10–30% can be signed.
The final sales agreement is processed at a notary office. The agreement is also officially registered with Italy’s Real Estate
Registration Department. The payment can be made in two ways: by a cheque or via a direct transfer of funds from the buyer’s bank account.
After this is sorted, the new owner will receive the keys, sales agreement, and property register extract.
