There is a lot of speculation around but it seems certain that ICI will return on the prima casa although at a lower rate than previously.

Does anyone use ENI for gas & electricity? I fancy their new boiler deal but you need to be a client of gas and electricity.

Can anyone in or around Ventimiglia tell me what it is like getting over the border to France/Monaco at the moment? We have a small baby and don't want to get stuck on a train/in the car for hours at some checkpoint. Thanks

Hi, could someone help with some translation please? I have a quote from a geometra but I don't understand the first 2 items and how they differ from the other 3.

Did anyone go to the meeting in the town hall last Monday about parking in Amandola? I couldn't go but wondered what was said.

I can listen to the radio via the internet on my Smart TV using an app called VTuner, otherwise on the PC just fine.
Ha ha - good old Stefano! I think we bought some off his brother under the arch in Amandola.
I was told exactly what RAM has described above. However, I have had lots of people tell me that it's wrong and that you have to have owned it for 5 years. I even know people who have gone and bought another house because they swore this was true so I will be very interested to know 'once and for all'.
No - not if it is your main residence. If it is your main residence and you live in it then it doesn't affect you. Sorry - I wasn't very clear. I meant farming land if you are a coltivatore diretto or IAP. We do get a reduction as the multiple is lower. If the land is in a mountain comune or an underpriviledged area then you don't need to pay at all. It is not clear whether in these circumstances you still need to fill out the form. Some comune are giving extra discounts too so i guess if you want one of these then you may need to fill it out. I can't cut and paste from the document as it is protected but it is on page 3 if you want to look. It says the circumstances where the declaration has to be presented are:
It then goes on to list the specific circumstances. Not many people would fall into the second category I wouldn't have thought, unless you are renting your property to a tenant but any of us farmers must declare the land but not any 'fabbricati ad uso strumentale'. We are in a mountain comune so don't have to pay on our land so I'll have to check if they still want the form or not as it doesn't say in the instructions. It is not very clear either if you bought your house using prima casa tax reduction but don't actually live there. Do you fill it in or not? If you are applying the letter of the law then you would fall under the second category as the comune would not be aware that it was not your main home but I guess that could open a whole can of other worms.....
In the instructions it says you have to complete the form if you benefit from a reduction in the IMU - e.g. for farming land. You don't have to fill it in if you get an exemption (eg. fabbricati strumentale al uso agricolo). I am guessing because you need to fill in a form declaring it's use. Our geometra just did it for us.
That's very helpful of them! Most small comune have nothing. If you have agricultural land (even if you don't farm it) or claim 50% discount because the house is uninhabitable you have to fill the form in according to the instruction document. Confusing eh?
Sorry links don;t work on first post so here they are again - form and instructions
Hi Pags, I am guessing it is you who sent me a message. Unfortunately it doesn;t include any way to contact you. In order to register a car in Italy yo will need to be resident. If you're not then it will need to stay on UK plates. If it is a modern-ish car then it is very simple and costs around €600 (I think this has now gone up so be prepared). Go to a driving school - most will do the paperwork for you - or go to the ACI (Italian automobile club) to get it done. You will need your id, certificate of residency, V5 for the car, up to date MOT. When mine was inspected they were not interested in which way the lights pointed at all but it is likely to depend on who does the inspection. They will soon tell you if it needs changing. Be warned - Italian car insurance is expensive.
Could you not do the 40% on the heating system and 55% on the rest. I didn't see anything saying it is an either/or.
I think this is different Badger as the newspaper clearly said the 40% of the original cost will be paid back to you over the subsequent 2 years. This will be funded by a 2% increase in the price of gas over the next 4 years. You are describing a tax deduction that has been in place for sometime. This is a new scheme: http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/notizie/2012-11-09/dallaggiornamento-incentivi-spese-ammissibili-123707.shtml?uuid=AbeUET1G
