Home, stop tax deductions for changing to gas boilers from 2025

The first step towards the transposition of the green homes directive starts with the Budget law. The green light has been given in the Budget Committee of the House to the reformulated amendment tabled by the M5S, which sanctions the farewell of tax breaks for fossil fuel boilers. In other words, from next year there will be no more deductions for building work or energy requalification for the purchase and installation of gas boilers. This means an end to both the ecobonus and the ordinary renovation bonus, which, according to the guidelines indicated by the text of the manoeuvre sent to Parliament, will be "levelled" at 50% for main homes and 36% for second homes in 2025.

A change that was in the air and on which the manufacturers had tried to the last to avert intervention by Parliament. In the end, however, the amendment came to a vote in the House Budget Committee on the night of 16-17 December. The rewording of the amendment voted on is clear in excluding fossil-fuelled boilers from the perimeter of the building renovation and energy saving concessions for the entire three-year period 2025-2027, which is the one in which the manoeuvre operates. In fact, there is express mention of the 'exclusion of interventions for the replacement of winter air-conditioning systems with boilers solely fuelled by fossil fuels' from both tax deductions.

After all, the green homes directive had been clear in this: stop any form of incentive for the purchase of methane boilers from 2025 and phase them out from 2040.
