Back ROMA love between Italians and the brick but skyrockets the tax burden: in April increased by 72% the number of applications submitted to the banks for loans to buy a home over the same month of 2014. The trade also increased in the first three months of this year (+ 0.8%) and interest rates are at a record low since the Unification of Italy (in 1861 were just below 5%, while today they are below 3) thanks to the “Quantitative easing” introduced by the ECB. The tax, however, has come to stratospheric levels. Are some of the figures released yesterday during the “Focus Home” organized by the National Builders (Reeds) asking the government to “reduce property taxes.” Otherwise, “we see that this breeze – warns Paolo Buzzetti, president of Ance – will not turn into a strong wind capable of supporting the entire building and economic recovery. The positive signs are there, families are moving, but our businesses are still stuck. ”

What taxes weigh on home witness, stand out from the study center Ance, two numbers: according to the data of the Revenue in 2011 taxes Total on the brick (between IMU, Tasi, income tax on second homes, IRES, VAT, inheritance and gift tax, registration and stamp duty on leases and flat rate tax) amounted to revenues for the state coffers amounted to 32 billion euro, but in 2014 taxes came even to over 42 billion.

What in the crisis years seemed like a dream, also because of the tightening of banks in granting loans (from 2007 to 2013 fell by 66% those subsidized families), “now back to being a reality – Flavio admits Monosilio, director of the Center studies Reeds – because in 2014 shows all the signs that show that the market conditions become favorable purchase ‘. In fact in 2011 the banks were granting loans for more than 70% of the value of the property, in 2013 covered only 55%, but today the share of granted mortgage has risen to 61%. “It is still far from the levels of four years ago – observes Monosilio – but this growth still represents a thaw between families and banks.”

Among the proposals Ance to the government Renzi “reducing taxes until 2018 the purchase of new homes energy efficient – asks Buzzetti – and exemption for three years from the payment of IMU, Tasi and future Local tax, fully intended to municipalities for the financing of services.” Also asks the Reeds’ incentives to encourage the exchange between houses and used the most efficient energy and stabilize the tax incentives for the recovery of property and for the rehabilitation of buildings. ” “In Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain the tax incentives on the house they did take off the economy – remember Buzzetti -. Why can not we do it here to stimulate the domestic market and hook the recovery? Now the conditions are right and we seem to catch a new sensibility government on these issues. ”
