Italy Scraps Road Tax for Most Cars as Election Nears
The exemption would cover all motorbikes and more than 70% of small and medium cars, the cabinet office said.
- On Sept 16, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the government will abolish the annual road tax for 14.5 million cars and motorbikes during 2027, eliminating one of the taxes most hated by Italians.
- The move seeks to bolster support ahead of Next year's election, as Meloni's Coalition faces mounting pressure from National Future, a far-right party led by Roberto Vannacci steadily gaining ground.
- A draft decree seen by Reuters shows the one-year exemption for 2027 costs €2.36 billion, with benefits covering all motorbikes and more than 70% of small and medium cars, limited to one vehicle per citizen.
- While the Coalition welcomed the tax cut, critics dismissed it as a distraction from rising Fuel costs. Rossano Sasso, a senior aide to Vannacci, stated, "It's like treating pneumonia with a throat lozenge."
- Italy's public debt is set to peak at almost 139% of GDP this year, replacing Greece as the most indebted eurozone country, creating significant fiscal constraints for the government's spending commitments.
