Logistics Bonus 2026

Incentives and benefits for companies investing in automation
Logistics bonus 2026: how to get incentives for warehouse automation

The digital transformation of the supply chain remains a priority for many Italian companies.

Thanks to new tax incentives and measures outlined in the budget law, investing in logistics automation, warehouse digitization, and Industry 4.0 technologies has become even more cost-effective.

In this context, specialized companies like MHART, which design advanced intralogistics handling and automation systems, represent a strategic partner for turning tax incentives into a competitive advantage.

What the 2026 Logistics Bonus Entails

Among the key opportunities for businesses in 2026 are various subsidized financing instruments for technological and logistics investments.

Hyper-depreciation and super deduction of up to 180%

The new incentive scheme allows for an increase in the tax-deductible cost of up to 180% on investments in interconnected technologies and digital systems. 
A company that invests in automation systems or logistics software can claim a tax deduction for a value significantly higher than the actual cost, thereby reducing its taxable income and improving its return on investment.

The applicable rates are generally:

  1. 180% for investments up to €2.5 million
  2. 100%  between €2.5 million and €10 million
  3. 50% between €10 million and €20 million 

The adoption of the following technologies is therefore encouraged::

  1. automated material handling systems
  2. warehouse robotics
  3. logistics management software (WMS)
  4. traceability systems and digital integration.

Which logistics investments are eligible for incentives

Among the investments eligible for incentives for the digital transformation of the supply chain are systems designed to improve productivity, reduce errors, and optimize operational flows, including:

  1. warehouse automation
  2. automatic sorting and picking systems
  3. handling systems for hanging garments or products
  4. logistics management software platforms
  5. integration between ERP and warehouse systems
  6. robots and high-density storage systems.

The Benefits of Automation for Businesses

In addition to the returns on investment, investing in advanced logistics also means achieving long-term operational benefits.

1. Reduced operating costs

Automation helps reduce handling times, improve workflow efficiency, and minimize manual errors.

2. Faster order processing

This is particularly crucial for:

  • e-commerce
  • omnichannel distribution
