What looked like a ‘ “amnesia” of the Law of Stability 2016 but now a certainty, confirmed yesterday by Circular 20 / E Agency of Revenue. The house-automation tools, so-called “building automation”, can benefit from the 65% tax credit for energy saving with no spending limit, and are facilitated without the taxpayer must necessarily perform other redevelopment. In extending the deduction also to expenses incurred “for the purchase, installation and commissioning of multimedia devices for the remote control of heating or hot water or air conditioning of housing units,” the law 208/2015 did not provide for any ceiling on agevolabili costs. Thus drawing an exception in the panorama of tax rebates for home (and raising the doubts of many taxpayers).
Four months from the arrival of the rule, the questions are addressed by the Revenue that the new incentive does not connect “to a specific category of intervention already the subject of Facility”. In addition, “given that the interventions in question have a reduced cost compared to those already admitted to the deduction and that the rule does not indicate for operations of” home automation “in question the maximum amount of usable deduction, it is believed that this can be calculated to the extent of 65 per cent of the expenses incurred. “
House, scholarships, e-book here is how not to lose all the tax bonus
This means that the 65% discount can be obtained on the total expenditure (from 1 January to 31 December 2016) to buy and install at home these tools “aimed at increasing awareness of energy consumption by users and ensure efficient operation of facilities” (as stated in the law of stability in paragraph 88 of its sole article) . It is the tool that should enable the switching on and off and the weekly programming of remote installations, regularly provide data on energy consumption and show them through multimedia channels, along with the current operating conditions and adjustment of the systems temperature.
It is only a doubt, at this point. Since the express admission of the Revenue home automation “was already included in the interventions required by current legislation to benefit from the deductions for energy improvement”, those who install these devices in the context of another action subsidized – such as changing the boiler – will have a credit limit or part will be considered a single ceiling of maximum expenditure? If the installation is contextual, the second thesis seems the most correct.
Also, remain on the table all the doubts regarding how to carry out the necessary practical with Enea (which you should do within 90 days end of the work). Enea on the portal dedicated to sending the requests for 2016, but it is currently not possible to insert the documentation relating to the interventions of “building automation” because “waiting for operational guidelines by ministries and bodies in charge.” In order to advance a claim for deduction, taxpayers who have installed or are preparing to install these home automation tools then have to wait to arrive for special rules.
As you await ministerial directions about the other facility introduced by the Stability law (paragraph 982): the tax credit for video surveillance. The benefit is up to the individuals who claim – not in the exercise of self-employment or business activities – expenses for “the installation of digital video surveillance systems and alarm”, and those “related to contracts with security firms, direct the prevention of criminal activity. “
the tax credit is recognized in the maximum ceiling of 15 million euro for the year 2016: but the criteria and procedures for access are to be entrusted to a decree of the Minister of Economy. That is slow to materialize.
In any case, in support of those costs is an advantage already in force, and is the income tax deduction of 50% for building renovations, reserved for residential real estate units (Article 16- bis of the FCA, letter f).
