When a property conveyance takes place, the Italian tax laws stipulate the payment of certain taxes and charges which generally must be paid, at the time the notarial contract is stipulated, to the notary himself who thus undertakes the “irksome” task of tax collector. Such taxes are mostly payable by the purchaser. At the time of purchase, the system taxes the “wealth” indirectly manifested by the purchaser which consists of the price paid for the purchase of the property (so-called i

Au moment d’une transaction immobilière, la législation fiscale italienne prévoit qu’on paie un certain nombre de droits et de taxes, à acquitter en général parallèlement à la conclusion du contrat notarié de mutation immobilière, les remettant entre les mains du notaire qui revêt donc la “lourde” charge de percepteur des impôts. La majeure partie de ces impôts sont dus par l’acquéreur. Au moment de l’acquisition en effet, le fisc impose la “richesse” que le sujet acquéreur a indirecte

Notaries and real estates

Notaries provide the community with a complex service, they carry out a public function of the State within the framework of an independent profession. The notarial deed not only regulates transactions between parties, but it provides added value in at least three respects: - a contract signed before a notary is unchallengable and hence it avoids expensive and time-consuming litigation procedures; - it is enforceable and hence it can be used to recover credits and it constitutes pri

Le coût de l’acte authentique comprend aussi bien les honoraires et les émoluments pour l’activité professionnelle du notaire que le montant des impôts, des taxes et des débours dus pour l’acte notarié et pour les opérations que le notaire doit accomplir aux termes de la loi avant et après la stipulation de l’acte notarié. Les impôts dus pour l’acte peuvent atteindre un chiffre élevé, et le notaire est tenu à les payer, même s’il n’a pas reçu le montant correspondant. La loi prévoit do

Le notaire, outre à devoir s’assurer de la volonté des parties et leur conseiller le contrat ou l’acte le plus approprié pour atteindre le résultat pratique qu’elles se fixent, peut exercer une activité de conseil par laquelle il peut même influer sur la volonté des parties, en la dirigeant vers un résultat pratique autre que celui initialement voulu, s’il le juge opportun pour équilibrer les intérêts en jeu ou éviter des actes violant la loi ou dont les effets ne seraient pas clairs pour le

Le notaire fournit une prestation complexe dans l’exercice d’une fonction publique de l’État, qu’il pratique comme libre profession. L’acte authentique, loin de n’intéresser que la relation entre les parties, comporte une valeur ajoutée sous un triple aspect:- la sécurité du contrat, qui évite aux parties de longs et coûteux litiges en justice;- sa force exécutoire en termes de récupération des crédits et de preuve privilégiée dans les procès;- la certitude générale des droits, en r

As from 1 January 2006, it has been possible to meet the taxation requirements on some real estate transfers at the land registry's valuation, regardless of the price agreed and shown in the contract. The rule that first introduced the price-value concept was Article 1, Paragraph 497 of Law no. 266 of 23 December 2005 (2006 Budget); there were two subsequent amendments: Article 35, Paragraph 21 of Legislative Decree no. 223 of 4 July 2006, converted with modifications into Law no. 248 of

The rules governing this matter are extremely complex and may be schematically simplified by looking at a subjective profile and an objective profile. As regards the former, there are two main types of tax linked to real estate conveyances: stamp duty (imposta di registro) (and the related mortgage and cadastral taxes) and VAT. Whether one tax or the other is applied depends mainly but not exclusively on the nature of the vendor. Stamp duty is applicable in all cases where the vendo

La législation réglementant cette situation est extrêmement complexe, et peut être résumée en gros en se référant à un profil subjectif et un profil objectif. Du premier point de vue, il convient de souligner qu’il y a principalement deux types d’impôts attachés à la transaction immobilière: le droit d’enregistrement (et les droits hypothécaires et cadastraux relatifs) et la TVA. Que l’un ou l’autre de ces droits soit exigé dépend principalement, mais pas exclusivement de la qualificat

Italian law attempts to facilitate and encourage people to buy their own primary home (their so-called “primary residence” ["prima casa"]) through various reductions in taxes for the purchaser. Specifically, at the time of purchase, the purchaser pays 3% (stamp duty) if he buys from a private person or 4% (VAT) if he buys from a company (except for a few odd cases), plus a fixed charge for registering the transfer and mortgage (presently a total of Euro 336.00).A foreigner, too, may take advanta

La législation italienne souhaite faciliter et encourager l’acquisition de la résidence principale (dite “première habitation”en réduisant de différentes manières les impôts dus par l’acheteur.Plus précisément, au moment de l’achat, l’acheteur paie 3% (impôt de registre) s’il achète à un sujet privé, ou bien 4% (TVA) s’il achète à une entreprise ou une société (sauf dans certains cas particuliers), outre les taxes hypothécaires et cadastrales d’un montant fixe (égal au moment actuel à un tot

In recent times, by computerizing the documentary processes of interest to its activity and its interaction with the Public Administration, the notarial profession has contributed responsibly and professionally to improving citizens' lives in terms of the quantity and quality of services, in the time saved in dealing with the various types of transactions and the fulfilling of formal requirements, and in legal certainty obviating subsequent litigation: - 0.0 % corporate litigation; - 0

The price-value mechanism is applicable on condition that the contract document shows the full price agreed: "If even part of the agreed price is hidden, taxes are due on the whole amount and there is a fine of from fifty to one hundred per cent of the difference between the taxes due and those already levied on the amount declared, after subtracting the amount of any fine”.

The sale contract includes the personal data of both the vendor and the purchaser, including their fiscal codes, the description of the property to be transferred with an indication of its location, its nature and its boundaries, as well as its identification at the land titles office and a number of obligatory pieces of information regarding town planning and building regulations. The vendor must declare whether the property was built before 1 September 1967; if the building took place a

Home loan contracts with a bank for a duration exceeding 18 months enjoy significant reductions in terms of indirect taxes: the contract does not attract stamp duty or registration duty or the mortgage registration tax, but only a “substitute tax” of 0.25% on the amount of the home loan which is debited directly by the bank and paid over to state revenue (N.B.: for mortgage contracts for the purchase, construction or restructuring of a second or subsequent home, from 1 August 2004 the tax th

As has been seen above, in order to determine the type of tax and the amount and means of payment of the sums due for duties on the purchase of a so-called primary residence, one must first of all take into account the nature of the vendor. When the vendor is the company that built (or renovated) the property and four years have not elapsed since completion, the conveyance is subject to VAT that the purchaser must pay directly to the company and not to the notary, along with the payment o
