- The Italian Supreme Court highlights a discrepancy in the first-home tax benefit rules for VAT and registration tax for almost a year.
- The benefit was previously based on the characteristics of the property, leading to disputes.
- The current benefit is based on the cadastral classification, excluding properties in categories A/1, A/8, or A/9.
- The change in the registration tax rules took effect on January 1, 2014, but the VAT rules were not updated until December 13, 2014.
- The case involved a property sale in March 2014, where the property was considered “luxury” based on its size but not based on its cadastral classification.
- The Supreme Court ruled that the old rules still applied, as the VAT rules were not updated until December 2014.
