Hello, my husband and I own a house in Tuscany jointly - would it be worthwhile putting the house into one name to reduce the accountants fees for the calculation of IMUs?  It’s going up each year and would be half the cost for one of us.

Rubbish Tax Bagni Di LuccaHello, we have owned this house over 5 years.  It was uninhabitable for the first two years, then we camped out for one year and then more renovations including a new roof for our 4th year.

HelloCould anyone on this site please clarify the ENEL charges to non residents?  Our old house in the North’s bills went up to €100 due to the tv licence, but since changing agents dropped to €25, what a difference.

Hi Alan

It’s quite remote, the house opposite is empty and our next door neighbour, we’ve met once.  Hopefully we can find somewhere that rents them out or buy one as they will be needed more in the future.  Thank you for taking the time to reply 😊, might be worth knocking on the door if they are there this time.

We’ve retired and asked for the discount from IMUs but have heard nothing from the Commune when I’ve sent an email asking them.  Our agent also asked the accountant and she says we don’t get discount in Bagni di Lucca.  We don’t rent the house out or obtain any income from it.  It seems different Communes have differing rules.

Thank you Tony.

I’ve asked and they’ve checked with their accountant, it doesn’t apply to us at Bagni di Lucca.  Worth a try though and now it’s on the radar we might get lucky in the future.  
 

Where is your commune Tony?  You probably get sent your IMUs calculated too from the commune.  Everywhere varies but that’s the beauty of Italy.  Thank you for your help.

Thank you Toni.  It’s Bagni di Lucca.

Thank you.  I have emailed our agent to ask if this reduction is available in our Commune.  Our taxes doubled just after we purchased our house in 2012 and we are pensioners now.  It would be of such great help.

That sounds wonderful paying yourselves to the Commune.  We tried many times to find out how to do it, 7 years on we are nowhere nearer managing it - until now.....

How did you go about getting the bills and paying them, were they sent by email?  We pay an accountant then the agent, so it’s costing quite a lot but at least it’s paid.  But if we can do it ourselves we would love to.  Any help would be appreciated.

That’s brilliant Juno, I’m going to ask to see if this is possible.  Thank you.

Ah that’s a lot Ugo, it was worth asking but not doing.  Your advice is always excellent, thank you.

Do they let you know your rubbish tax too?  It would be so brilliant if we can do this ourselves.  Advice on this site is excellent.
