Do you dream of a house with a garden in Varese? Aim for the green bonus

The warm season is upon us and there is nothing better than living it enjoying moments of light-heartedness and freedom, remaining in the quiet of the home. Those who have the privilege of owning a house with a garden in Varese are already looking forward to summer, with the opportunity to organize outdoor lunches and aperitifs at sunset in absolute privacy. The secret is to keep the outdoor spaces with well-kept plants and flowers, areas equipped for relaxation and leisure and, why not, focus on the green bonus 2021.

Let's find out what it consists of, who it is for and how to get it.

WHAT IS THE GREEN BONUS?

Introduced with the 2018 Budget Law and extended every year until the current one, the 2021 green bonus is a 36% personal income tax deduction which is calculated on some types of expenses incurred for the care and maintenance of gardens and green areas of residential properties.

Specifically, the deduction for the green bonus is due for the expenses incurred for:

• greening of private uncovered areas of existing buildings, real estate units, appurtenances or fences, irrigation systems and construction of wells;

• construction of green roofs and hanging gardens;

• design and maintenance costs, if related to the execution of the above-mentioned interventions.

The expenses incurred for the periodic routine maintenance of pre-existing gardens not connected to an innovative or modifying intervention as indicated above and work in economy are not included in the deduction.

GREEN BONUS: HOW IT WORKS

The deduction is divided into 10 annual fees, all of the same amount, and is calculated on a maximum amount of 5,000 euros for each housing unit. Therefore, the maximum deduction is 1,800 euros (36% of 5,000) for each property. A necessary condition for obtaining the relief is that all expenses incurred are paid with payment instruments that allow traceability. For this, every single expense must be documented with invoices and receipts.

WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO AID

Not all owners of houses with gardens in Varese can benefit from the discount provided by the green bonus. They are entitled to:

• taxpayers who own or hold, on the basis of a suitable title, the property on which the interventions are carried out and who have incurred the related expenses;

• the individual condominium, within the limit of the quota attributable to him, provided that the same has actually been paid to the condominium within the terms of presentation of the tax return, with reference to the expenses incurred for interventions carried out on the external common parts of condominium buildings up to a maximum total amount of € 5,000 per residential property unit.

IDEAS FOR HOUSES WITH OUTDOOR SPACE

Thanks to the concessions offered by the green bonus 2021, it is possible to give new life to the green spaces of your house with a garden in Varese, allowing yourself a little touch of style.
