Green Bonus 2018 Therefore, starting from January 1st 2018, all citizens who will incur expenses for the arrangement of greenery and the recovery of historic greenery, will be able to benefit from a new tax deduction equal to 36%. The amount of the total deduction due, to be deducted from taxes, must be divided into 10 annual installments of equal amount and the expenses incurred must be paid via the so-called speaking bank transfer.
