id=\"htoc-quali-sono-le-tasse-da-pagare-per-l-acquisto-di-un-garage\">What taxes are payable when buying a garage<\/h2>\n\n<p>The other day I had a confrontation with a colleague within one in the chat of the Fimaa (Italian Federation of Business Agent Brokers) members' group, of which I am a councilor with responsibility for communication.<\/p>\n\n<p>An associate was asking for our \"support\" regarding taxes that one of her clients would have to pay regarding the purchase of a garage from a construction company.<\/p>\n\n<p>He wished to know for sure what to communicate to his client and did not know what VAT rate the sale was subject to.<\/p>\n\n<p>I argued that since the garage was not appurtenant, that is, not connected to the purchase of a 'home, it was a sale subject to <strong>22% VAT on the price declared<\/strong> in the deed, while my colleague argued that the sale was subject to<strong> 10% VAT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Since I am someone who gets to the bottom of issues, I decided to read up on it and find the exact normative references governing the issue.<\/p>\n\n<p>Online, unfortunately, there is anything and everything, and especially when it comes to taxes and fees, everyone has their own version.<\/p>\n\n<p>I then decided to consult<strong> my <\/strong>notary public, who immediately clarified the issue.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-normativa-sull-acquisto-di-un-garage-da-impresa\">Regulations on the purchase of a garage from a company<\/h2>\n\n<p>The legislation referred to in the above case history is from <strong>1949<\/strong> and is called <strong> the \"Tupini Law\" (Law 408, 02.07.1949 art.13)<\/strong>, this in fact identifies whether the garage is subject to 10 or 22% VAT.<\/p>\n\n<p>The standard reads:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p

requirements for Tupini buildings include all non-luxury buildings that have at least 50 percent of the total above-ground area used for housing and no more than 25 percent used for commercial
