The new legislation limits the duration of the tax benefit to 5 years, eliminating the different duration provided for by the previous regime. It applies in favor of the subjects who transfer the tax residence to Italy starting from the tax period 2024.
The new Law provides for a Transitional regime in favor of the individuals who will move their personal/fiscal residency to Italy in the year 2024 and who have purchased, by 31 December 2023 and, in any case, in the 12 months preceding the transfer, aRESIDENTIAL PROPERTY in Italy used as “first home”.
