However, the same must not concern properties belonging to a "luxury" cadastral category, i.e.
with cadastral code A/1, A/8 and A/9 (elegant homes, homes in villas and palaces with historical and artistic merits ).
As regards the age requirement, it is necessary to remember that if the age of 31 is reached on 1 January 2024, the deduction is not available for 2024.
The age requirement is, however, satisfied if it also occurs for part of the year in which one intends to benefit from the deduction.
The youth rental bonus cannot be obtained if the rented property belongs to public residential buildings or if it is a property used for tourist purposes.
The tax deduction is also available if the rental contract is registered in the name of more than one person, but in this case only those who meet the personal data and income requirements can benefit from the "pro quota" deduction.
For example, if the rental contract is registered in the name of two subjects and only one of the two meets the age requirement, only this person, for his share, can take advantage of the tax benefit.
The same rule also applies to the income requirement: if the two owners have one of the age requirements and the other does not, but whoever meets the age requirement does not meet the income requirement, in any case it is not possible to take advantage of the Youth Rental Bonus, not even "pro quota".
