The following costs are eligible for inclusion in the calculation of the tax credit, to a maximum of 80% of the overall cost of the production:
- goods and services from individual or juridical persons fiscally resident in Italy;
- goods or services supplied in Italy by companies with legal headquarters and fiscal domicile in Italy or which are subject to taxation in Italy, or, depending on the conditions of reciprocity, by companies with headquarters and nationality in a different member state of the European Economic Area with an established agency, office or representation in Italy that executes its activity primarily in Italy and is subject to taxation in Italy;
- costs relating to individuals who are not fiscally resident in Italy but subject to taxation in Italy in relation to the specific income generated by the aforementioned cost.
For more information about how to submit an application, consult the announcement on the DGCA website.
