4.0 tax credit for agricultural undertakings (Legge di Bilancio 2026)
Data to be re-checked. The source does not publish the status or the dates of this scheme explicitly. Do not prepare an application without checking the managing body’s portal.
What it funds
New tax credit introduced by the Legge di Bilancio 2026 and reserved for agricultural, fisheries and aquaculture undertakings, designed as compensation for their exclusion from the new enhanced depreciation (iperammortamento). According to specialised press sources the rate would be 40% on 4.0 capital goods, but the budget would be extremely limited (approximately EUR 2.1 million in total), which makes the measure heavily rationed. As at the verification date no implementing decree defining eligible assets, procedure and application window appears to have been published.
Who can apply
Agricultural, fisheries and aquaculture undertakings, including those determining income on a cadastral basis (to be confirmed).
Sectoral scope
Measure specifically dedicated to the agricultural, fisheries and aquaculture sector: it is the alternative channel for those excluded from the enhanced depreciation.
Notes and caveats
WARNING: measure not verified against a specific institutional source. The MASAF tax credit section (opened with WebFetch) lists only measures dating from 2016-2017 and does not report this credit; the MASAF Normativa 2026 page (opened with WebFetch) does not contain an implementing decree on this measure among those published up to 25/08/2026. The 40% rate and the budget of approximately EUR 2.1 million are reported by the specialised press (Innovation Post) as a budget law figure, not verified at source, and for this reason dotazione_eur and contributo are left null. Several sources report a delay in implementation. To be monitored: it is potentially the most relevant measure for agricultural undertakings taxed on a cadastral income basis that wish to invest in 4.0 technologies.
