Sport Expense Tax Deduction: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how parents in Italy can claim a tax deduction on fees paid for children's sports club memberships.
This scheme allows parents to reduce their tax burden by claiming a portion of the costs associated with their children's participation in sports clubs.
Who it's for
This deduction is available to parents who have children between the ages of 5 and 18.
What you get
You can claim a 19% tax deduction on the fees paid to sports clubs for your child's activities.
What it costs you
To benefit from this, you must keep all your receipts and maintain records of your bank transfer or card statements as proof of payment.
The catch to know
The deduction is only valid if the fees are paid using trackable methods, such as a credit card or a bank transfer. You cannot claim this deduction if you pay the sports club in cash.
