Taxation
Property purchase tax (stamp duty) amounts to 9% of the cadastral value of the real estate (in Italy the average cadastral value never exceeds the 70% of the real value of the property) or to 2% for those who establish residency* in the municipality where the property is located, within 18 months from the signature of the deed of sale.
* Resident means an individual who lives in the house purchased for at least 6 months + 1 day.
