Who it's for

What you get
You can receive tax deductions (known locally as detrazioni) to lower your tax burden. These deductions typically apply to costs related to medical care, home renovations, or education.

- Ensure every payment was made using a traceable method like a card or bank transfer.
- Report these expenses when filing your tax return.
