The ‘manovra’
The emergency budget has introduced what is basically a ‘condono’ for abusively built houses. The move is intended to finally catasto about 2 million properties that hereto don’t officially exist, but in effect it will allow anyone who has built or modified illegally to put ‘their house in order’ by the 31 December this year. In exchange the owner will pay only 33% of the valore catastale as a sanction, and pay all dues and taxes on the property from 1 Jan 2009.
