Italian property rental and taxation regulations

Overview

Discussions regarding Italian property taxation and rental regulations have focused on both commercial and residential sectors.

The Italian government has considered reintroducing a 21 percent flat tax, known as ‘cedolare secca’, for commercial property rentals (C/1 category). Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo indicated this proposal aims to support local shops and small businesses by allowing landlords to separate rental income from personal income, potentially preventing the closure of neighborhood businesses.

Regarding residential short-term rentals, regulations specify that agreements for periods under thirty days do not require registration with the Agenzia delle Entrate, though guest information must be communicated to the Questura. However, once a landlord exceeds specific contract thresholds, the activity is classified as professional, requiring the opening of a VAT number (partita IVA).
