Tax regimes
Cascia qualifies for the 7% pensioner regime. Comfortably below the 30,000-resident ceiling.
Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.
How the 7% pensioner regime works, and every qualifying comune →Property prices
OMI records no market value for Cascia. Agenzia delle Entrate surveys the town and returns a price of zero for every zone — which means there is no functioning residential market to price, not that property here is cheap.
Cascia is one of sixteen comuni in this position. Fifteen are in the belt destroyed by the 2016 Central Italy earthquake; the sixteenth, Gibellina, was destroyed in 1968. We publish the absence rather than a zero, because a zero would rank the most devastated towns in Italy as its cheapest.
