In 2013, Italian families spent 28 billion euros on building renovations and energy savings, causing the State to collect 5 billion euros in VAT. This is certified by the data released by Cresme and commented by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Maurizio Lupi, who underlined the thrust of the Ecobonus to these restructurings.
“It is proof that the tax authorities – declared Minister Lupi -, used in a non-vexatious way towards businesses and citizens, can be a lever for recovery.
The trend implemented in 2013 is continuing with even greater momentum in the first months of 2014: 5 billion 700 million were spent in January and February, taking advantage of the Ecobonus for renovations and the bonus for furnishings, with a growth of 54% on an annual basis.
