Hi. I need to provide Enel with a meter reading as they have over estimated our usage whilst we've been in the UK this summer. I've done this online before, but now, for some reason, and despite an hour of searching (!), I don't seem to be able
There don't seem to have been any threads specifically about the state of the property market since last year, and I would be grateful for opinions on it's current state, particularly relating to smaller restored houses (i.e.: those selling for le
Thanks alan h, but no, I'm not aware of any refund. Normally our bills are about EURO 10-12 and this one is suddenly for EURO 40 which is why it stood out! Also, they're normally taxed at a lower rate of IVA. Strange...
Thanks all for your replies! We've been here a few years now, but this is the first we've seen or heard of this tax...! Will certainly pay when next in town. Thanks again.
Many thanks for confirming that Pianopiano. In our case, although we are still UK residents (domicile and tax), this is our only property, and so I would hope that we wouldn't have any problems with UK CGT.
Hello! I was under the impression that there is no CGT to pay in Italy if you've owned the property for more than 5 years. Is this still the case? Thank you!
Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately I really need access to emails at home. That's my problem. Not having a landline, and being about 5km from the nearest wifi hotspot, I really hope I can find a better option than jumping in the car several times a day, or paying Three's new roaming rates (I accidentally spent over £10 in one day, via emails, a bit of googling, and posting here, due to the fact I mistakingly thought that the '3 like home' service finished the next day!). Trust Three to ruin the only good thing they had going for them! Thanks again.

Thanks Flip. We're regular visitors to the Lucca antiques market, but sady our visit just misses the June and July weekends this time! Typical!
Hi, thanks for your reply. Having ploughed into the dictionary once more, I think this is to cover some works to the Serchio and the restoration of hydraulic works...!? http://www.bonificavalleserchio.it seems to give more detail. Thanks again sproston. I guess I'll just pay up! Next to fathom out, water and electricity bills...
Hi. Just to add, we've always paid our ICI in one hit in December too, as that's what our immobiliare did on our behalf prior to us taking over.
Thanks Flip. Sadly that's what I thought, but it's nice to have confirmation. I do have a habit of missing the obvious!
Doh...! Thank you both!
