Indicative result. It does not replace a personalized tax review: your regime, IAE heading, degree of business use and each expense's requirements can change the real result.
Every expense has its own rule
Deducting is not just adding up invoices: utilities, car, per diems or entertainment each have their own percentages and caps. Applying them correctly is the difference between what you think you deduct and what the tax office accepts.
Business use and proportion
The tax office requires the expense to be tied to your business. Many mixed expenses (home, car, phone) are only deductible in the business-use proportion, and some require exclusive use.
Income tax and VAT don't move together
An expense may cut your income tax but give no deductible VAT, or the other way round. Insurance, per diems, entertainment or home utilities follow different rules in each tax.
