9 January 2025
Find out what changes have been introduced in 2025 for benefits dedicated to outdoor spaces.
The Budget Law (No. 207), passed last Dec. 30, introduces some important changes for those who wish to invest in outdoor design. Let's analyze in detail how the main tax incentives related to this sector change: the Ecobonus, the Renovation Bonus, the Furniture Bonus and the Home Appliances Bonus.
Ecobonus: What Changes?
The Ecobonus, intended to incentivize energy efficiency interventions, retains its basic structure, but with some relevant changes for those who intend to improve outdoor spaces:
- Deduction rates: For expenses incurred in 2025, the deduction rates will be 50% for the first home and 36% for properties other than the main home. In 2026 and 2027, these rates will drop to 36% and 30%, respectively.
- Expenditure ceilings: For solar screens, including the installation of pergolas, the deductible expenditure ceiling is reduced to € 40,000, while for other interventions, including the purchase and installation of photovoltaic systems, the expenditure limit remains € 96,000.
- Pergolas and sunscreens: They remain among the eligible interventions provided they concretely improve energy efficiency. It is necessary to submit a technical certification attesting to this benefit. The requirements to be met remain unchanged:
- Orientation: The pergola must be positioned in such a way as to maximize energy efficiency, with orientation between east and west through south.
- Type of roofing: It must have a roof with a movable, adjustable or retractable cover, allowing for light and ventilation regulation.
- Location: It must be leaning against at least one windowed wall, so as to help reduce indoor overheating.
- Materials and certification: The use of certified materials is mandatory to ensure durability and energy efficiency. The manufacturer must provide a certification stating a Gtot (total solar transmission) factor of 0.35 or less.
Renovations Bonus: Focus on Outdoor
The Renovations Bonus remains a great opportunity for those wishing to enhance outdoor spaces. In 2025, the 50 percent deduction is confirmed for expenses incurred on first homes and 36 percent for other types of properties. From 2026 to 2027, the rates will drop to 36% and 30%, respectively. Eligible interventions include:
- The installation of pergolas, gazebos and other outdoor structures, as long as they are integrated into the redevelopment project of the property.
- The construction of photovoltaic systems, which improve environmental sustainability.
The deduction applies to an expenditure ceiling of 96,000 euros per property and is divided into 10 annual installments.
Furniture Bonus 2025: Does it include Outdoor Furniture?
The Furniture Bonus, designed to incentivize the purchase of furniture related to building renovations, confirms its support for outdoor furniture. Chairs, tables, garden lounges and even outdoor lighting can qualify for the 50 percent deduction:
- Expenditure ceiling: It remains set at 5,000 euros for 2025.
- Requirements: Purchases must be related to a renovation facilitated by the Renovation Bonus.
Bonus Appliances: Opportunities for Outdoor Kitchens.
Outdoor kitchens enter the list of eligible appliances thanks to the Home Appliances Bonus. However, they must meet certain requirements:
- Energy class: The appliances must belong to at least class A for ovens, class E for washing machines and dishwashers, and class F for refrigerators and freezers.
- Expenditure ceiling: It remains set at 5,000 euros for 2025, with a 50 percent deduction.
In addition, a 30 percent subsidy is introduced for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances (class B or higher), with a ceiling of 100 euros (200 euros for households with ISEE below 25,000 euros).
