Ciao, we have finally had the request

If you bought the house in joint names you will each typically be billed for 50% if the annual cost of the House  Taxes.Our total annual rubbish tax (comune of Tolentino) last year was initially E183, which is worked out of square metre of property (all floors) - ours is 240. However, for the last couple of years we get a top up bill at the end of the year - which totalled another E46.  This is an annual cost and it makes no difference whether you are there 52 weeks of the year or just 1. For IMU - which is the the equivalent of council tax - the comune in Tolentino do not send out bills.  It is your responsibility to find out how much you owe - and then pay it.  We normaly just go to the Comune office and wait until someone sees us and prints it out.  However some comune's have web sites where you can calculate your own, print the forms and then make the payment.

Sound all normal stuff for Italy, lucky they did not wait 5 years to chase you as the fines would be quite high. You can calculate you house tax charges here. Your purchase documents should have details of the rendita for your house.

Hi

I am looking to buy property and was reading about the billing of property and all other taxes for the home. 

So if i understand if a property is in two names taxes  both Tari.Imu etc are billed twice for each person? How is the rubbish tax calculated is per sq meter of the house?  What ate the percentages for the property tax? and how often are they billed- can you pay it on online?

Thoughts

Thank you
