Italy's 2027 Ecobonus plan sets a single €96,000 spending limit
Italy's draft 2027 budget would set one Ecobonus spending cap for energy-efficiency work.
The change would cover homes and condominium buildings, including work on windows, heat pumps, insulation and solar shades.
Today, each type of eligible work has its own spending limit, and homeowners can combine them.
Under the proposal, eligible costs would share a €96,000 cap per housing unit; work on shared condominium areas would have a €40,000 cap multiplied by the number of units.
This means people doing several major upgrades could run out of eligible spending room, though a single small project may be less affected.
The draft keeps deductions at 50% for main homes and 36% for other properties, with no return to the proposed 65% rate.
The bill still needs Parliament's review and could change before it becomes final.
