Last lap for superbonus and barrier bonus. Cuts to discounts for second homes. And a stop to subsidies for methane boilers and the garden bonus. The 2026 precompilation, linked to last year's expenses, is open for consultation (scheduled from Thursday 30 April) and, on the home bonus front, photographs a very complex passage: the one that at the beginning of 2025 led to the revision of the entire system of rules for renovation discounts, essentially ending the season of maxi-tax breaks.

The Single Restructuring Bonus

Wanting to simplify, in 2025 we are faced with a kind of single bonus that, in its various versions, always has the same double rate: 50 per cent for first homes and 36 per cent for those other than the main home. All the different bonuses of 2025 are calibrated on this level.

So, anyone who has renovated a first home with a 'classic' extraordinary maintenance work, such as redoing the bathroom or bringing the electrical system up to standard, has a 50% deduction available. Things change a lot, however, for second homes, which are subsidised at 36%: even rented houses, then, are excluded from the larger bonuses.

Sismabonus and ecobonus

This double level also concerns the other types of rebates. The sismabonus passes from the 85 per cent maximum in 2024 to the double discount 50-36 per cent (again for first and second homes), reserved for all works. Identical fate, then, for many products that still enjoyed the 65 per cent in 2024, but which change to 50 or 36 per cent. This happens for heat pumps and hybrids, consisting of a heat pump and a condensing boiler.

Stop to boiler rebates

For methane boilers, to comply with European directives, there are no more discounts, except for the hybrid configuration, which remains subsidised. Also skipped are the discounts of the green bonus, dedicated to the landscaping of gardens and plants.

The final superbonus queue

In 2025, then, there is the last tail of the superbonus. It is still only available to those who had construction sites started on 15 October 2024 and only with a rather low level of facilitation, compared to the recent past: 65 per cent. This set-up, however, has produced important numbers: more than EUR 5 billion of relief in the past year.

Bonus for architectural barriers

Above the 50 per cent threshold, only one tax discount remained fully usable in 2025: the bonus for the removal of architectural barriers, which still remains at 75 per cent. It must be said that it is more difficult to claim this than in the recent past. It cannot be used to redo bathrooms and change fixtures, but only for lifts and hoists, lifts outside the home, replacement of steps with ramps, and the creation of tools that 'through communication, robotics and any other technological means, favour the internal and external mobility of persons with severe disabilities'.

Mobile bonus

The furniture bonus is confirmed also in 2025. In this case the deduction remains at 50 per cent with the expenditure ceiling at EUR 5,000. It should be emphasised, however, that there is incompatibility between this tax rebate and the home appliance bonus. "The contribution," says a Faq of Mimit, "is granted only once per family and, in any case, cannot be combined with other facilities, as well as with other benefits, including tax benefits, relating to the same type of product.

The modification of the first instalment

On the fulfilment front, the general rule is confirmed that for private interventions (i.e. not condominiums), such as renovations or extraordinary maintenance entitling to the 50 per cent deduction over ten years, the first instalment is not directly reported in the pre-filled statement but is 'parked' in the attached information sheet and will therefore require an amendment to the pre-filled statement (from when it will be possible) to make it count in the final settlement.
