Number 5 January 2026 - 2026 Finance Act: Hyper-depreciation reinstated, also applicable to software
Hyper-depreciation 2026: up to 180% for EU-made software – an advantage for those choosing Italian solutions like Super-Flash
The 2026 Budget Law has reintroduced hyper-depreciation for investments in technologically advanced tangible and intangible assets made between January 1, 2026 and September 30, 2028. The incentive allows companies to increase the tax value of the purchase cost by up to 180% (for investments up to €2.5 million), providing a significant tax benefit for those investing in digital technologies and Industry 4.0 solutions. Eligible assets (listed in the new Annexes IV and V of the law) also include software, platforms, and digital solutions interconnected with company production systems. A key requirement is that, in order to qualify for the incentive, the software must be developed within the European Union or the European Economic Area – a condition that favors Italian manufacturers such as Automa. Automa, a software company based in Gorle (Bergamo), active since 1987, is the only independent Italian developer of SCADA software. With Super-Flash, we provide software licenses fully compliant with EU origin requirements, along with application consulting services and technical support for the development of SCADA, HMI, and Industry 4.0 interconnection projects. Investing today in a platform like Super-Flash means not only choosing a mature and reliable technological product, but also maximizing the tax benefits provided by the new regulation. For more information on how to qualify for the 2026 hyper-depreciation program with our products and services, please contact our sales team directly at +39 035.32.33.911 or via e-mail at sales@automa.it.
