yes can confirm tax on any gain (- costs) within 5 yr period.However bear in mind the 5 year law is only relevant in Italy - it does not apply in the UK - If you live in UK and your Italian property is a second home, you will still be be liable to UK CGT @18% on any gain (minus costs + annual allowance) to Inland Revenue no matter when you sell.
You would have a capital

You would have a capital gain on any profit minus invoiced work made on the property if you did not take 'prima casa' on your purchase - as its a ruin I doubt that you did. If it were a prima casa there would be capital gain if you sold and had residence for less than half the amount of time that you had owned the property.
