Can I get the bonus for furniture and appliances?
Yes, if linked to a renovation. The furniture bonus lets you deduct 50% from income tax of spending on furniture and large appliances for a property undergoing building recovery (renovation). For 2026 the deduction is confirmed on a spend limit of €5,000 (including transport and assembly costs), to recover over 10 equal yearly instalments. The key requirement is the link to a renovation: for 2026 spending, the building-recovery works must have started from 1 January 2025. Eligible are furniture (beds, wardrobes, tables, sofas) and large appliances of an energy class no lower than the minimum required (e.g. class F for fridges and freezers). Payments must be traceable (transfer, card): cash isn't allowed.
📋 The rules
- Income-tax deduction of 50% on furniture and large appliances
- Spend limit €5,000 in 2026 (transport and assembly included)
- Recovered over 10 yearly instalments
- Linked to a renovation started from 1/1/2025

🔓 Exceptions
- Without a linked building-recovery work: the bonus isn't due
- Minimum energy class required for large appliances
- Transport and assembly costs: included in the limit, if paid traceably
⚠️ Penalties & fines
The furniture bonus is due only if there's a linked renovation and you meet the requirements: spend limit, appliances' energy class, traceable payments and documentation (invoices, payment receipts). In a check, the Revenue Agency can disallow the deduction if the renovation prerequisite is missing or payments aren't traceable, with recovery of the tax, penalties and interest. The deduction goes to those with enough IRPEF capacity for the yearly instalments. Keep the furniture and appliance invoices and the payment receipts, and check the energy class when buying.
