Agriculture 4.0: application management to access the tax credit
A rigorous technical approach and comprehensive support
Enginext supports businesses in the primary sector to obtain the new Agriculture 4.0 tax credit, thanks to a rigorous technical approach and the experience of around 3,500 technical appraisals managed over the last five years. Introduced by Italy’s 2026 Budget Law, the new tax bonus supports the sector by encouraging the purchase of capital goods and advanced technologies during the 2026-2028 three-year period.
What Enginext’s service includes
Enginext handles the technical analysis and administrative procedure for accessing the tax benefit.
Technical requirements analysis
We verify the compliance of agricultural machinery with the technological requirements set out by the plan. This phase includes, among other checks, verifying interconnection and automated integration with the production management system. Technical assessment is key to determining whether the asset qualifies for the tax credit.
Technical appraisals and documentation
We draft the documentation required for investments exceeding the statutory thresholds, certifying that the technical requirements set by the regulations are met. We also take care of preparing the complete file.
Administrative procedure management
We handle the administrative procedure directly across the various institutional portals. We manage the flow of information between the company and the funding bodies: a centralised approach ensures technical consistency and compliance with procedural deadlines.
Agriculture 4.0: areas of application
The benefits cover investments in technologically advanced tangible and intangible assets.
Tangible capital goods
The plan supports the purchase of machinery such as self-driving tractors, sensor-based monitoring systems and drones. These assets must underpin the technological transformation driven by Agriculture 4.0. Enginext has a proven track record with around 3,500 projects successfully managed in this field.
Software solutions and IT systems
The incentives also cover investments in software for crop data analysis and precision irrigation solutions for production management. We assess how these solutions integrate with tangible assets to maximise return on investment.
Everything with a single
point of contact
We act as your sole strategic partner, coordinating every phase of the project, from initial concept through to final reporting on the portals. This model removes the need to juggle multiple contacts, drastically reducing the administrative burden and the risk of misalignment.

Why choose Enginext
Frequently
asked questions
What are the main tax credit rates?
For the 2026-2028 three-year period, the scheme provides a tax credit equal to 40% of the acquisition cost of eligible investments, with a maximum spending cap of €1 million per company.
Does the asset need to be new?
Yes. The scheme applies only to new capital goods, never previously used.
Can the incentives be combined?
In general, Agriculture 4.0 incentives can be combined with other measures, provided the total does not exceed the cost incurred for the asset.
