As you probably know, Italian IMU tax is due twice a year.

In most Municipalities the deadline for paying the first tranche of Imu and Tari is fast approaching, with the date being June 16, 2021.

Whilst the second tranche will be due in December.

Who calculates IMU?

All tax payers can calculate the tax due on their own as your municipality will not send you a bill or any reminders to pay.

If you wish to calculate your IMU taxes by yourself, you need to start from the first basic information of your property cadastral value.

This is reported in the publich deed of purchase of your property or in a Visura (land registry extract containing information about properties).

How to Calculate Italian IMU tax?

The cadastral value amount is revalued of a fix percentage and multiplied by a coefficient. This coefficient is different for each cadastral category.

Finally, the value obtained after this calculation is subject to the percentages applied in each municipality.

Each municipality applies its percentage therefore it is best for you to get this information before proceeding with the calculation.

Do I need to seek professional assistance to pay the IMU?
