MHAPS - Logistics Bonus 2026
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:
- 180% for investments up to €2.5 million
- 100% between €2.5 million and €10 million
- 50% between €10 million and €20 million
The adoption of the following technologies is therefore encouraged::
- automated material handling systems
- warehouse robotics
- logistics management software (WMS)
- 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:
- warehouse automation
- automatic sorting and picking systems
- handling systems for hanging garments or products
- logistics management software platforms
- integration between ERP and warehouse systems
- 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:

FAQ – 2026 Logistics Bonus and Automated Warehouses
The 2026 Logistics Bonus refers to the range of incentives and subsidies available for investments that improve the efficiency, digitization, and competitiveness of logistics processes. The available measures can cover various areas, ranging from the digital transformation of processes to technological innovation in production and distribution systems, in accordance with the requirements set forth by current regulations.
Incentives focused on digitization and innovation can represent an opportunity for companies considering investments in logistics automation. An automated warehouse, in fact, integrates technologies that improve flow management, increase productivity, reduce operational errors, and make the supply chain more efficient.
Innovation projects can include various technological solutions, such as:
- automated material-handling systems;
- smart warehouses;
- software for managing and controlling material flows;
- traceability systems;
- traceability systems;
- solutions dedicated to managing hanging garments in fashion logistics.
Eligibility for incentives always depends on the specific program, its technical requirements, and the established procedures.
In the fashion industry, the complexity of the supply chain requires systems capable of managing large quantities of items, variants, seasonal fluctuations, and integration between retail and e-commerce.
An automated warehouse dedicated to hanging garments can help:
- optimize available space;
- speed up distribution operations;
- improve order fulfillment accuracy;
- preserve product quality;
- increase the flexibility of logistics processes.
Automating the handling of hanging garments transforms a traditionally manual process into a more controlled and integrated system.
The main benefits include:
- greater operational efficiency;
- reduction in unnecessary handling;
- improved product traceability;
- integration with corporate information systems;
- greater ability to respond to e-commerce needs.
Not necessarily. The design of an automated system must be based on the company’s specific needs, the volumes handled, logistics flows, and growth objectives.
Modular and scalable solutions also allow companies undergoing transformation to evaluate gradual paths toward greater automation.
The assessment must consider several factors:
- handling volumes;
- current operating costs;
- required service levels;
- projected business growth;
- integration with e-commerce and retail;
- return on investment over time.
A preliminary analysis of processes helps identify the solution best suited to the company’s objectives.
