Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the cedolare secca
What is the cedolare secca and how does it work?
The cedolare secca is an optional tax regime for residential rentals: it replaces IRPEF, surtaxes and registration and stamp duties with a single flat tax of 21% (free-market rent) or 10% (agreed rent) calculated on the entire annual rent.
When is the cedolare secca more convenient than IRPEF?
The cedolare secca is convenient when the owner's marginal IRPEF rate is above 21% (or 10% for agreed rent). Under ordinary taxation only 95% of the rent is taxed but with progressive IRPEF rates plus surtaxes, so for medium-high incomes the cedolare is almost always more advantageous.
Why is only 95% of the rent taxed under ordinary IRPEF?
Under ordinary taxation a lump-sum deduction of 5% of the rent is provided to cover maintenance costs, so only 95% of the rent received contributes to taxable income. With the cedolare secca, instead, 100% of the rent is taxed without any deduction.
When does the 10% rate apply instead of 21%?
The 21% rate covers tenancies at a freely agreed rent, while 10% covers tenancies at a locally agreed rent. You pick the type of contract and the tax is applied to the whole yearly rent.
How does the flat regime compare with ordinary income tax?
The comparison applies the flat rate to the whole yearly rent, and the marginal IRPEF rate you enter to 95% of that same rent. The gap between the two amounts is the estimated saving.
What does the net rental income show?
It is the yearly rent less the flat tax, that is, what the landlord keeps before costs. It stays an estimate and takes no account of the running costs of the property.
Does my data stay private?
Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.
Do you store what I enter?
No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
