If you own or rent a home in Italy, remember those two deadlines – June 17 and December 16, 2024 – for the two IMU payment installments, the municipal tax on the ownership of a property.
This infographic created with the help of Nick M. Metta – partner of Studio Legale Metta who also head the International Department assisting non-Italian clients with matters concerning Italian law – you understand whether you have to pay it, how and how much.
Also note that you are always entitled to pay TARI (waste tax). But don’t worry about it, you will receive an invoice from the comune (town hall) through the letterbox stating when the tax is due and how much you have to pay.
If you are still looking for your dream home in the bel paese, save this guide for later. It will be very helpful!
How to pay IMU?
Here are your 4 options:
- Via your Italian bank (using the F24 form – downloadable on Internet)
- Go to your property comune tax office (look for their ufficio tributi division and get a postal payment slip. Then go to the Post office and pay via credit card or cash.
- Check the website of the comune where your property is located. Many have their bank information for a direct IMU payment transfer.
- Use the service of an Italian professional (accountant, geometra, lawyer, property management service, etc.).
