Italy: Capital gains taxes (%).
In arriving at effective capital gains tax rates, the Global Property Guide makes the following assumptions:
- The property is directly and jointly owned by husband and wife;
- They have owned it for 10 years;
- It is their only source of capital gains in the country
- It has appreciated in value by 100% over the 10 years to sale
- The property was worth US$250,000 or €250,000 at purchase.
- It is not their sole or principal residence.
These assumptions are critical. In many countries a holding period of less than 5 years results in capital gains being taxable. But a longer holding period often results in no capital gains tax being payable. For more details see the Data FAQ

Italy does not publish any official house price or rents time-series. Nomisma has published average prices for 13 urban areas, semi-annually, since December 1990. Il Consulente Immobiliare, a real estate industry-related review edited by Il sole 24 Ore media group gathers information semi annually based on actual house sales. Neither are freely available. General economic statistics for Italy come from the Bank of Italy and the National Institute of Statistics.
