Home bonus 2024: news on benefits and incentives for construction work

Home bonus 2024, what tax breaks and incentives remain for construction work in this new year? Although some measures have expired and not been extended for the year that has just begun, the incentive package for home improvement remains in any case quite substantial.
citizens can use the bonuses provided to renovate, purchase furniture and appliances, aim for the energy requalification of the building or improve its anti-seismic safety.
From the superbonus to the ecobonus, what are the building bonuses reconfirmed until 31 December 2024 and what changes compared to previous years? As mentioned, various benefits have been canceled or reduced, but there are also many measures that have been reconfirmed for the whole year under the same conditions as in 2023: restructuring bonuses and ecobonuses remain unchanged with the 50% and 65% deductions, reconfirmed even the highest percentages for condominiums which remain fixed at 85%.
The furniture bonus, driven by building renovations, remains confirmed for 2024, but does not remain unchanged given that the maximum deductible spending limit drops by 3,000 euros.
The architectural barrier bonus is also affected by a downsizing, which loses both the possibility of accessing the invoice discount and the transfer of credit, as well as part of the admitted work.
Finally, a definitive stop to the 110% super bonus, whose deduction rate is drastically lowered.
It should also be remembered that at the end of 2023 the enhanced bonus for those under 36 who buy their first home and the green house bonus which allowed the reduction of VAT with tax credit will also cease.
In addition to the measures not extended for 2024, the most drastic change concerns the superbonus.
The other bonuses (renovation, the ordinary ecobonus, the earthquake bonus and the incentive for gardens) have been confirmed without changes.
Let's see what the news is on home bonuses, and what changes for construction work.

How does the renovation bonus work? This is a 50% deduction on expenses incurred up to a maximum of 96 thousand euros.
The list of expenses eligible for the renovation bonus is long, and many of these works are also covered by the superbonus (but only if they meet certain requirements): ordinary maintenance interventions, extraordinary maintenance, restoration and conservative rehabilitation, building renovation, carried out on all common parts of residential buildings or on individual residential real estate units of any cadastral category, including rural ones, and on their appurtenances; interventions necessary for the reconstruction or restoration of the property damaged following natural disasters; interventions relating to the construction of garages or parking spaces; works aimed at eliminating architectural barriers (lifts or hoists, installation of tools suitable for the internal and external mobility of severely disabled people); interventions relating to the adoption of measures aimed at preventing the risk of the commission of illicit acts by third parties (gates, grates, armored doors, safes, cameras connected to private security, etc.); interventions aimed at wiring buildings and limiting noise pollution; interventions carried out to achieve energy savings; interventions for the adoption of anti-seismic measures such as static safety works; asbestos removal interventions and works to avoid domestic accidents; repairs to home security systems (for example, replacing a gas pipe or repairing a malfunctioning socket); installation of gas detection equipment; monitoring of anti-accident glass; handrail installation; replacement of internal doors.

Guide on how to request it One of the innovations for 2024 on the ecobonus is the introduction of a 70% deduction for condominiums that carry out thermal insulation of the opaque common areas with an incidence greater than 25% on a maximum expenditure of 40,000 euros.
The relief can be used throughout 2024 as long as the building permit application has been submitted by 16 February of last year.
Sismabonus 2024 The seismabonus is recognized where action is taken to make the building safe from seismic risk.
This is a benefit intended for residential and productive units located in seismic zones at high risk (1 and 2) and at lower risk (seismic zone 3).
Seismic areas at low risk are excluded from the benefit (4).
The benefit, also for 2024, provides for a deduction of: 50% on a maximum expenditure of 96,000 euros if the interventions do not bring improvements to the seismic risk; 70% if the intervention results in a 1 class seismic risk reduction; 80% if the works result in the recovery of 2 risk classes; 85% if the interventions are carried out on the common parts of condominium buildings, the deduction for the reduction of 1 or 2 classes of seismic risk.
Superbonus at 70%: what's new in 2024 In 2024 the superbonus rate drops to 70% for all expenses.
The superbonus is certainly one of the most contested building concessions because it allowed, until last year, a maxi deduction (110%) for expenses incurred for interventions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the property, interventions to reduce seismic risk and installation of photovoltaic systems.
Starting from 1 January 2024 the deduction rate drops to 70% (in 2025 it will undergo a further reduction to 65%).
It should be underlined that from 1 January this year the superbonus can only be used for condominiums while it ends up for single-family homes and villas.
Furniture bonus, spending cap at 5 thousand euros in 2024.
The furniture and appliances bonus consists of a 50% deduction on a maximum expenditure of 5 thousand euros for purchases made during 2024.
The new deadline for the furniture bonus is set for 31 December 2024.
However, the "dependence" on the renovation bonus does not change, i.e.
it is necessary to carry out recovery work on the building heritage in order to request the relief on furnishings.
Finally, the furniture bonus remains excluded from the possibility of choosing credit transfer and discount on the invoice and can only be used as a deduction in the tax return in 10 annual installments of the same amount.
The maximum deduction for expenses incurred for furnishings, therefore, increases to a maximum of 2,500 euros (until 31 December 2023 it was 4,000 euros, 50% of a maximum expense of 8,000 euros).
