Over the past year, people have spent a lot more time at home than usual, and in many cases, this sparked the desire to make home improvements and finish both structural and purely aesthetic jobs that had been put off for a long time. Luckily, today many tax bonuses and home loans at competitive conditions to fund these jobs are available. So together we’ll see how the furniture bonus works and how to tie it to other incentives to obtain maximum savings.
For anyone wondering whether the furniture bonus can be linked to other types of incentives like those for retrofit upgrade, the answer is it depends on a case-to-case basis. Jobs meant to improve energy efficiency generally can rely on different types of tax incentives, many very advantageous, and therefore you can’t connect the two different tax bonuses when doing your financial statements. Despite this, however there is one opportunity; many jobs that fall under the Ecobonus also fall under the definition of renovation jobs (like replacement of the hot water heater or thermal insulation jobs), to which, as we said before, you can add the furniture bonus, even though it’s always essential to calculate whether it’s worth it to do this type of job, since retrofit upgrades can count on a higher percentage of benefit.
